Learning Journal
The Learning Journal is a space where you should reflect upon what was learned during the week, how it applies to your daily life, and how it will help you with your life/career goals.
For this week’s reflection, please write three complete and well-composed paragraphs (in your own words) in which you use, as an example, a company that operates where you live. Describe what business it is in and some of the costs the company incurs. Define the various types of costs you identified as period or product costs.
