In my class, each group took an article in which they must explain some things that happen in them. Our article is "ACCOUNTING EVIDENCE IN SPORTS ENTITIES: AN ANALYSIS OF BRAZILIAN FOOTBALL CLUBS"

One of the questions, among the 5 that I have to answer, is: Explain whether the variables are qualitative or quantitative.

Among the other two quantitative variables that I found (which is not relevant to post here) is "Accounting disclosure", which are questions asked to clubs about accounting information. With this variable, the author of the article will do: "the values ??of the Disclosure level indicator can vary between a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 139 points, the greater the number of points, the greater the club's accounting disclosure. "

Well, that variable alone is qualitative, right? However, the author transforms it into quantitative, as it gives "points", through the "x" of the checklist, which is the "weight" "suggested" and "spontaneous" and so on.

My question is: how will the points be calculated from this perspective? How, for example, will a club score 57, 91, 89, etc., based on qualitative variables that have become quantitative? See, for example, the 3 table, which shows the clubs and the supposed points achieved with the accounting information. What is this calculation? How? You don't exactly have to do the calculation, just explain it to me.

If I'm thinking the wrong way, tell me. Or the question is incomplete, let me know what it is.
