_______is also known as decisional research, use existing knowledge as an aid to the solution of some given problem or set of problems

It is frequently called basic or pure research, which seeks to extend the boundaries of knowledge in a given area with no necessary immediate application to existing problems.

includes surveys and fact-finding inquiries of different kinds. It tries to discover answers to the questions who, what, when, and sometimes how. Here the researcher attempts to describe or define a subject, often by creating a profile of a group of problems, people, or events.

______goes beyond description and attempts to explain the reasons for the phenomenon that the descriptive research only observed. The research would use theories or at least hypotheses to account for the forces that caused a certain phenomenon to occur.

__________research is based on the measurement of quantity or amount. It is applicable to phenomena that can be expressed in terms of quantity

It is concerned with qualitative phenomenon (i.e.) phenomena relating to or involving quality or kind. This type of research aims at discovering the underlying motives and desires, using in-depth interviews for the purpose.

What type of research has the following objective:

To test a hypothesis of a causal relationship between variables.

____________ are termed as those based on the decision-maker‟s past experiences, expertise, assumptions, feelings or judgments without any systematic gathering of facts. Such information is usually readily available.

____________ are those collected and interpreted at least once for some specific situation other than the current one. Availability of this type of information is normally high.

___________are refined statements of the specific components of the problem. It refers to a statement that ascertains the phenomenon to be studied.

The major consideration of this aspect is whether there is ample demand for the product being produced or proposed to produce. If ample demand exists find out if this is being met by the current producers

This aspects identify whether the product could be produced at the highest possible quality level with the minimum costs.

In a manufacturing firm the items that are taken in consideration are the product it self ,the manufacturing process ,plant size, production schedule machinery lay out ,plant lay out and location ,structure raw materials ,utilities, disposal and other information deemed necessary in determining technical feasibility

This answers how the project shall be managed before and during the operating periods pointing out the firm or persons involved in studying the different aspects of the project, the type of business organization, organizational chart and functions of each units management personnel skills and numbers of labor required specifying the duties and the time to be devoted to the project qualifications, compensations, fringe benefits and facilities

This portion determines the profitability level of the project which is generally defined as the relationship of the net income after taxes to the total investment.

It also involves thorough coverage of all the monetary information of the enterprise.

______ is measured by the economic benefits that will accrue to the people living in the community and its vicinities.

Is a sampling technique where each element of the population has a fixed probabilistic chance of being selected for the sample

Is a sampling technique where the samples are gathered in a process that does not give all the individuals in the population equal chances of being selected. It does not use the chance selection procedure rather on the personal judgement of the researcher.

is the basic sampling method assumed in statistical methods and computation, each unit of the target population is assigned a number, a set of numbers is then generated and the units having those numbers are included on the sample.

In here the elements of the population are put into a list then every ith element in the list is chosen(systematically ) for inclusion in the sample.

______is a sampling technique in which the researcher divided the entire target population into different sub groups ,or strata and then randomly picks the final subject proportionally from different strata

it attempts to obtain a sample of convenient elements where the selection of sampling units is left primarily to the interviewer. Relying on the available subjects such as stopping people on a street corner as they pass by is one method of sampling although it is extremely risky and comes with many cautions.

is one that is purposely selected based on the judgment of the researcher. For example, if the researcher is studying the nature of school spirit as exhibited at a school pep rally, he or she may interview people who did not appear to be caught up in the emotions of the crowd or students who did not attend the rally at all

________is one in which units are selected into a sample on the basis of pre-specified characteristics so that the total sample has the same distribution of characteristics assumed to exist in the population being studied

it is appropriate to be used in research when the members of the population are difficult to locate,such as homeless individuals, migrant workers, undocumented immigrants

choosing individuals as a sample according to the purposes of the research as his control/an individual is chosen as a part of the sample because of good evidence that he is representative of the total population

In a ________ a researcher is solely interested in describing the situation or case under their research study.

________is a non-experimental research design technique that helps researchers establish a relationship between two closely connected variables.

_________refers to gaining respondent's cooperation regarding the data collection process.

_________form the major portion of the questionnaire. This refers to the items relating to the actual area of the study.

Tell whether the statement is true or false

Plant location and layout should likewise be considered and studied. Here it is determined whether the location is desirable in terms of distance to the source of raw materials and markets and the other factors.

Tell whether the statement is true or false

A Business Plan is carried out with the aim of finding the workability and profitability of the business venture,to know whether the business venture is worth the time, and resources, while a FS is developed only after it has been established that a business opportunity exists and the venture is about to commence

Tell whether the statement is true or false

A Feasibility Study is filled with calculations, analysis, and an estimated projection of business opportunities. While a Business Plan is made up of mostly tactics and strategies to be implemented in order to start and grow the business.

A statement that predicts how the change in one variable will cause a change in another variable

No statistically significant relationship existing between the variables

_________ defines a variable in terms of specific measurement and testing criteria

_________ defines a variable in terms of specific measurement and testing criteria

Research process begin with

______ are categorical scales used to identify, label or categorize objects or persons or events

______ is a ranking scale that indicates the ordered relationship among the objects or events

The important feature of _______ over nominal scale is that it indicates the relative position, not the magnitude of the difference between the objects.

______is otherwise called a rating scale. It involves the use of numbers to rate objects or events

______is one where there is order and the difference between two values is meaningful

______differ from interval scales in that it has a natural/absolute zero

The "average" number; found by adding all data points and dividing by the number of data points

The middle number; found by ordering all data points and picking out the one in the middle

The most frequent number—that is, the number that occurs the highest number of times

A very small _________ statistic means that your observed data fits your expected data extremely well. In other words, there is a relationship.

Identify whether the statement is true or false

Non-comparative scales or otherwise called nomadic scales because only one object is evaluated at a time. Researchers use this scale allowing respondents to employ whatever rating standard seems appropriate to them and not specified by the researcher

Identify whether the statement is true or false

The constant sum scaling technique uses a rank order procedure in which objects are sorted into piles based on similarity with respect to some criterion.

Identify whether the statement is true or false

A well-designed research problem constitutes a well-designed measurement process. The process of measurement is a fundamental aspect of any research.

Identify whether the statement is true or false

Errors in the course of measurement can be traced to a number of factors such as carelessness, negligence, ignorance in the usage of the instruments.

________provides quantitative information for analytical interpretation

________relates to statistical inference where conclusions are drawn on the basis of samples taken randomly from a population, which is assumed to be normal.

______are generally based on the relationship between current assets and current liabilities

______measures the ability of the firm to meet its current liabilities

______is based on those current assets, which are highly liquid. Inventories are excluded because they are deemed to be the least liquid component of the current assets.

______help in accessing the risk arising from the use of debt capital.

______are based on the proportions of debt and equity in the financial structure of the firm.

______are based on the proportions of debt and equity in the financial structure of the firm.

_____shows the relative contributions of creditors and owners
