Answer/Justification (Based on your
Q No. Defense Question Outline)
I am using a Quantitative Research
Design. Specifically, it is a Correlational-
Descriptive design. It is suitable because
the primary objectives are to: (1)
Determine the level (descriptive) of the
variables, and (2) Determine the
relationship and influence
(correlational/inferential) between the
Research Design and Locale: What variables. The study is localized in
type of research design are you using, Poblacion, Malita, Davao Occidental to
and why is it suitable for your address the unique conditions of micro-
4 objectives? business owners in this specific area.
The appropriate statistical tool is Multiple
Regression Analysis. This tool is
necessary because it will determine the
strength and direction of the overall
relationship between the IV
(Bookkeeping Practices) and the DV
Statistical Tool Choice: Which (Cash Flow Management), and most
statistical tool will address your importantly, it will allow me to identify
objective to determine the influence of which specific bookkeeping indicators (e.
bookkeeping practices on cash flow g., Bank Reconciliation) significantly
management, and why is this tool the influence (or predict) the Cash Flow
5 most appropriate? Management indicators (e.g., Planning).
The objective is to determine the
significant difference in the level of
bookkeeping practices when grouped
according to years in operation.
The Null Hypothesis (H0) states: There
is no significant difference in the level of
bookkeeping practices among micro-
retail businesses when grouped
according to their years of operation.
The tool to test this is the Analysis of
Test of Difference/Hypothesis: What Variance (ANOVA). ANOVA is used to
null hypothesis does your objective compare the means of three or more
regarding 'Years in Operation' test, and independent groups (the categories for
what is the corresponding statistical years in operation) to see if a statistically
6 tool? significant difference exists.
