What is the amount value at the end of three years?
Note: We will be using the compound interest formula again and again. Given the 3 of the 4 variables of principal, amount, interest, and time, we can solve for the other.
1. (Problem 1.7) Compounding is the process of adding accumulated interest back to the principal, so that interest is earned on interest from that moment on. In this case, we have the formula A = P (1 + i)t and we call i a yearly compound interest. You can think of compound interest as a series of back-to-back simple interest contracts. The interest earned in each period is added to the principal of the previous period to become the principal for the next period. You borrow $10,000 for three years at 5% annual interest compounded annually. What is the amount value at the end of three years?
2. (Problem 1.9) Using the compound interest formula, what annual interest rate would cause an investment of $5,000 to increase to $7,000 in 5 years?
3. (Problem 1.10) Using compound interest formula, how long would it take for an in- vestment of $15,000 to increase to $45,000 if the annual compound interest rate is 2%?
4. (Problem 2.5) $100 is deposited at time t = 0 into an account whose accumulation function is a(t) = 1 + 0.03
√ t.
(a) Find the amount of interest generated at time 4, i.e., between t = 0 and t = 4.
(b) Find the amount of interest generated between time 1 and time 4.
5. (Problem 2.7) Suppose that a(t) = 0.10t2 + 1. The only investment made is $300 at time 1. Find the accumulated value of the investment at time 10.
6. (Problem 2.22) Suppose that a(t) = 0.1t2 + 1. At time 0, $1,000 is invested. An additional investment of $X is made at time 6. If the total accumulated value of these two investments at time 8 is $18,000, find X.
7. Also, please answer the following two questions.
(a) Describe your career goals.
(b) Describe your interest in financial math and the course. What do you hope to get out of it? What aspects of financial math most interest you?

Based on the equation above, please provide the value for x1, x2, x3, and x4.
You are the manager of a local retail store. To help make decisions within your organization, you recently completed your MBA with an emphasis in business analytics. You have developed the following estimated regression equation to help make data-driven decisions for the store.
Y = 22,100 – 412×1 + 818×2 – 93×3 – 71×4
Where:
· Y = weekly sales
· x1 = local unemployment rate
· x2 = weekly average high temperature
· x3 = number of activities in the local community
· x4 = average price of gasoline per gallon
Instructions
Use the above equation and information to answer the following questions in a Word document, and create a guideline to use for future business decisions:
- Based on the equation above, please provide the value for x1, x2, x3, and x4. Also, explain what these values mean in the context of this question. For example: What does the value of 818 mean in the equation above (specify if it is x1 or x2 or x3 or x4, and explain what those values mean based on the equation and context)?
- What are the estimated weekly sales if the unemployment rate is 3.7%, the average high temperature is 670, there are 10 activities, and the average price of gasoline is $3.39 per gallon?
- What recommendations or decisions could you make based on the predictive analysis in question 2?

What types of shift to outpatient are you seeing and how do you think they will impact the financial stability of the organization?
I work for a large multistate health care system and most of our growth at the moment is about care beyond the acute care setting. We have built several “all in one” centers that offer medical clinics, diagnostics, and primary care. We are also building free standing ED’s in key market areas to help capture patient that might otherwise go to our competitors. We have also invested in specialty centers for things like orthopedics and rehabilitation. All of these areas bring new money to the organization and provide actions to support our strategic plan to meet the “continuum of care.” I think historically we only thought about the acute care setting. Another point that supports this growth can be supported in another area of my work: Magnet. Magnet is a nursing designation that only 7% of the hospitals have earned. You might compare it to Baldrige in the business world, as it represents a comprehensive quality assessment. In the Magnet regulations, there are several sections that are individually focused on outpatient and ambulatory care. Historically these were a small part of the acute care focus. It is challenging as many of these service areas don’t have the metrics/benchmarks that are established and yet we know it is a very competitive market. We understand the importance and will be working to ensure our structure and processes extend into these new outreach markets. What types of shift to outpatient are you seeing and how do you think they will impact the financial stability of the organization?
