Which type of report would help the company study available options and how should it be organized? a. A justification/recommendation report would be written to evaluate which equipment to buy. Justification reports are always indirect because the audience must be persuaded. First the writer would discuss the problem and then address alternative solutions. The author would choose the most promising alternative—the recommendation—and explain why its advantages surpass its disadvantages. b. A yardstick report would be used. It would be organized indirectly, describing the problem, explaining alternatives, establishing criteria for comparison, evaluating each alternative in terms of the criteria, and making recommendations. c. The company needs an informational report that would simply describe available tablet computers without any explanation. The report would be organized directly.
