6. Written Artifact: Logos, Ethos and Pathos
Yes: Logos
No: Ethos and pathos
• Appeals to logos, because provides evidence
for why the end total of the equation is what it
is
• No appeal to ethos or pathos, because set of
numbers shows no emotion or credibility
• Artifact may slightly appeal to ethos, because
correct math is credible, but even most basic
accountants better DOUBLE CHECK their
math
