Financial Decision making and Their Outcomes

Annotated bibliography based on ‘Financial decision making and their Outcomes’.
Instructions:

An annotated bibliography is a great way to being summarizing and processing the information presented in your research. Writing an annotation is fairly simple: briefly explain the author’s thesis, the support offered, and a personal statement about whether or not the source is credible and if it will be used in your final project. Essentially, this is an exercise in summarizing. Keep in mind, a strong annotation can be moved almost directly from the annotated bib to the literature review section of your final paper. A little work now will save you time later.
Requirements:
• Write annotations for FIVE of the sources you will use for your final research paper
• 12 pt, Time New Roman Font
