The BUSI 688 Week 2 method, step by step

Show the method

Report the results plainly
Give the key figures in a labeled table and mention each in the text.
Interpret in the context of the question
Explain what the results mean for the decision or question in BUSI 688, in plain terms. The interpretation is where the analysis points are earned.
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; answer each assigned question fully).

Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Question 1. A defined benefit plan promises a specific benefit, such as 1.5% of final average pay per year of service, so the employer bears investment risk. A defined contribution plan, such as a 401(k), promises only contributions, so the employee bears the risk. The shift from the first to the second has moved retirement risk to workers.
