Do you agree with Perelman’s distinction between persuading the particular audience vs. convincing the universal audience? Why or why not?
This week’s Chapter Response is on chapter 4
Some guiding questions for you to consider as you are reading chapter 4:
–Considering the role of psychology in rhetoric, is creating understanding sufficient to say one has been rhetorically successful? Or must one create understanding and move people to action (i.e., move their will)?
–In terms of the “long debate,” >>(content attached under the name 1) does it make more sense to you to think of rhetoric as managerial–i.e. Campbell’s theory, at least according to Ehninger–or as a means of creating knowledge itself? Can these perspectives be reconciled?
–Do you agree with Perelman’s distinction between persuading the particular audience vs. convincing the universal audience? Why or why not?

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?
