You work for an accounting firm. Your supervisor asks you to write a report on a new photocopier which the accounting firm can purchase. In addition to information about its hardware, software, and user friendliness, he/she wants a recommendation on its appropriateness for the firm.
1. Introduction
A. Purpose
B. Background - make up some information about the photocopying needs of your firm. You should include information on the number of staff in your firm and their main photocopying needs
C. Methodology - describe the steps you took to gather information about the photocopiers
2. Discussion
Describe three different types of photocopiers. Include information on their features, cost, user friendliness and anything else useful you can find. Make sure that you relate your discussion to the needs of the firm. You can find this information on sites of photocopier companies, including Canon and Ricoh. You may also read reviews of the various photocopiers. Sometimes it is difficult to find an exact cost, in which case you can give an approximate cost based on your research.
3. Conclusion
4. Recommendations - recommend one photocopier to be purchased.
You should base your report format on the sample report in chapter 5 (pages 172-189) of your Eunson text. You should include all parts of the report, including the letter of transmittal, title page, table of contents and the executive summary.
