The BUSI 370 Week 5 method, step by step

  1. Set up the data before the write-up

    Work through the Written Report 3 calculations or software steps first and save the output. The written part interprets those numbers, so they have to be right before you explain them.

  2. Show the method

    Say which method, formula or test you used and why it fits the question. Graders want to see that the choice was deliberate.

  3. Report the results plainly

    Give the key figures in a labeled table and mention each in the text.

  4. Interpret in the context of the question

    Translate the numbers into a conclusion about the question. Say what decision they support and how confident you can be.

  5. Name the limits

    Name the assumptions and limits. A result with its limits stated reads as professional.

  6. Submit the files the guide asks for

    Submit every file requested and check that formulas, output and the write-up agree (At least 450 words).

Answer each question and include the consumer protection rules that shape the department's work, such as truth-in-lending disclosures. Read the provided questions for the report before the chapter, then take notes on the chapter under each question. Draft each answer as a short section: the direct answer, how the department actually does it, one measure managers use and one industry source that supports it. With a 450-word minimum and several questions, keep each section focused; if you have more to say, choose depth on the department's main profit driver.

BUSI 370 Week 5, sample answer section

How does the F&I department earn income while protecting customers? It earns a reserve on arranged loans and commissions on service contracts and other products.
