measurement of the business Going Concern - Accounting statements for a business entity assume that the entity is a going concern that will continue operations into the foreseeable future unless specifically stated otherwise. For example, accountants assume inventory is saleable in the future and hence value it at its manufacturing cost unless there are specific reasons to believe that it deteriorates or will become obsolete. Monetary Measurement- Accounting measures only those transactions that have a monetary value. Note that there may be many very important factors which have value that are not considered in the accounting system; e.g. a talented workforce, a new revolutionary product or an effective

For example, does using atextbook solution manual when completing a graded homework assignment constitute cheating?The previous study found that most students do not consider this to be cheating except in theextreme case of plagiarism where the solution is copied completely.1 If instructors disagree withthis opinion, now that so many more students have access to the solution manual they need tovery clearly communicate this to

The changesrequired no new faculty resources and did not change the credit hour requirements of any degreeplans. As new interdisciplinary design teams were created and non-interdisciplinary teamscontinued, several problems arose dealing with consistency of faculty involvement and grading.For these reasons, a common interdisciplinary senior design
