Where: This assignment is completed out of class.
When: Please refer to the Course Schedule for the assignment due date.
How:
The case study is to be completed in a Word document. Questions are to be solved showing the formula, substitution and final answer, as is expected on your tests.
Formulas are to be entered in Word by selecting Insert, Equation and then using the equation palette in Microsoft Word to build the formulas.
You may insert Excel tables for calculations if you like or simply type the values you calculated manually into the equations in Word. Either method will be accepted.
Please write out the final answer to each question in a sentence and include an introduction to your case as well as the original questions.
Your case should "read" from start to finish without having to reference the original page from the text. That is, I should be able to read it as is and know where all the values come from as well as what is being calculated.
