The BUSI 686 Week 2 method, step by step
Set up the data before the write-up
Do the calculations first and check them. Interpretation built on a wrong figure loses more points than a missing paragraph.
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.
Report the results plainly
Report each result with its value and what it measures. Tables and figures help when they are labeled and referred to in the text.
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.
Name the limits
Name the assumptions and limits. A result with its limits stated reads as professional.
Submit the files the guide asks for
Submit every file requested and check that formulas, output and the write-up agree (Not set in the guide; a thorough answer to each assigned question).
Where the question asks for a recommendation, state the client circumstance that drives it. Number each answer to match the question, define the key term, then apply it; where a question involves numbers, show the calculation.

Question 3. A client with $8,000 in credit card debt at 22% and a 401(k) match available should first contribute enough to capture the full match, an immediate 50% or 100% return, then direct remaining surplus to the card. Paying the card before capturing the match gives up a guaranteed return larger than the interest saved.
