The BUSI 687 Week 3 method, step by step

  1. 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.

  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

    Report each result with its value and what it measures. Tables and figures help when they are labeled and referred to in the text.

  4. Interpret in the context of the question

    Explain what the results mean for the decision or question in BUSI 687, in plain terms. The interpretation is where the analysis points are earned.

  5. Name the limits

    State what the analysis cannot tell you: assumptions, data limits, or what would change the answer.

  6. Submit the files the guide asks for

    Check which files Canvas expects (spreadsheet, output, written document) and that each is complete and labeled (Not set in the guide; a thorough answer to each assigned question).

Where a question involves a claim payment, work through the deductible, coinsurance and limits in order. Number each answer to match the question, define the key term, then apply it; where a question involves numbers, show the calculation.

BUSI 687 Week 3, sample sample answer

Question 6. A homeowner insures a $400,000 home for $280,000 under an 80% coinsurance clause. After a $50,000 loss, the insurer pays $280,000 divided by $320,000 (80% of value), or 87.5% of the loss, $43,750, less the deductible. Underinsuring triggers the penalty even for a partial loss.
