Jim and Laura Buyer visit the local car dealership because they are interested in buying a new car. The car they currently have is aging and is starting to have mechanical problems.

SCENARIO: Jim and Laura Buyer visit the local car dealership because they are interested in buying a new car. The car they currently have is aging and is starting to have mechanical problems. Jim and Laura would share the new car, and use it to go back and forth to work and school. Before going to the dealership, Jim and Laura decide that they can only afford $400.00 a month in car payments.

Once at the car dealership, Jim and Laura meet Stan Salesman. Stan shows them several vehicles and Jim and Laura test-drive several of the cars. Jim and Laura particularly like the blue 4-door sedan. Therefore, they agree to give Stan Salesman a $100.00 deposit to hold the car for a day. Stan Salesman does not give them the receipt but guarantees that the $100.00 is refundable. No documents were signed.

The next day, Stan Salesman calls Jim and Laura to ask them when they would like to take delivery of the car. Jim and Laura, on the way home from the dealership, decided that they were not going to buy the car because they did not want to spend that money each month. Therefore, Jim and Laura tell Stan Salesman that they have decided not to buy the car and request their $100.00 deposit back.

Stan insists that the $100.00 was a deposit on the car and was meant to be part of the contract to buy the car. Stan is very persistent and insistent that Jim and Laura have contracted to buy the car; therefore, the $100.00 will be applied to the purchase price of the car. Jim and Laura are shocked and angry as not only do they not want to spend the money, but now feel as though they are being duped by Stan Salesman.

Jim and Laura have an appointment to see a lawyer in a few days, but know you are a student taking a business law class and come to you for advice. They are very frazzled, and understandably upset that they may have just purchased a car. Since you have been taking business law, you have read and understand the elements of a contract and the defenses to a contract. Therefore, although you are not a lawyer, you provide some basic advice from what you’ve learned in your business law class.

ASSIGNMENT: In three to five (3-5) pages, advise Jim and Laura based on the above facts as presented and the material covered in the lessons. In your paper, be sure to address the following:

  1. Define the elements of a legal contract using examples from the scenario where applicable.
  2. Decide whether or not there was a contract for the purchase of the automobile.
  3. Identify the facts from the scenario which support your decision on whether or not a contract exists for the purchase of the automobile.

Rhetoric has been a major focus of my education this year. I have been taking many sociology classes and was lucky enough to take an entire class focused on media and how it psychologically and biologically affects humans, as well as overall society. Rhetoric is a hugely important factor in all consumerism, as well as effective writing. Rhetoric and language itself are some of the most important things to look at in modern times; while we may not notice how rhetoric manipulates us-even the most self-aware of us- it absolutely does. Rhetoric can make or break a point, and the connotations established with a different language (which can be versatile depending on culture and location) are extremely important to understand when both writing and reading. Rhetoric to me put simply, is the way a message or idea is encoded with connotative language to make an audience perceive it in whatever way intended by the rhetor. In terms of how I assess rhetorical situations in my daily life is, as the reading mentions, largely based on context. I try to approach rhetorical situations under the new context of my education; more skeptically, considering what the rhetor wants from me as an audience, and generally using more critical thinking when I am in any situation in which something or somebody wants to “get” something from or out of me, emotionally or tangibly.

While I pride myself in writing an effective, strong 5 paragraph essay, I absolutely hate the format now. I will not lie; I am somewhat of a long-winded writer. Considering this and the fact that I appreciate writing complex essays, I feel a 5 paragraph essay is rarely useful for communicating a more complex idea and does not read as well if attempted. I much prefer to have multiple paragraphs that logically lead one into the next, feel refreshing each paragraph, and do not attempt to attack too many ideas at once per paragraph. A 5 paragraph style essay is certainly effective for the purpose of most highschool essays, yet on a college level are generally elementary. For example, as the readings mention, a conclusion that is simply a summary is not the most intelligent way to finish establishing a point. Rather, I desire for my essays to read well, and do my best to have as little repetition as possible; instead, I prefer for my ideas to sensibly overlap as the essay concludes.

My only experience with writing essay comes from high school and I was taught the basic five paragraph essay. I remember this method working back then but after reading the article and watching the video I can see why this may not be the most effective. What I was able realize is how repetitive this form of essay writing can be and how your audience may get bored when reading it. I also like how if you write your essay in a different format, they flow easier. One paragraph sets the tone for next and the next sets the tone for the ones to come. This will help with keeping your reader engaged and if done correctly  you will be able to support your thesis better. I’ve never written an essay this way, but I am excited to learn how to do it properly and effective.

Rhetoric is a tool writers use to effectively persuade their audience to do, feel or think about how they want them. There’s rhetoric every where we go and in all aspects of our lives. We use it ourselves and we probably don’t realize it, when hinting to our significant other to buy us the latest purse, to bribing our children to eat their vegetables. A Rhetorical situation is referred to any circumstance  where someone is communicating and using rhetoric. I work in a financial institution and I come across rhetorical situations all the time, the way I tackle this most recently is by stoping to critically think. I often ask myself when my boss is hosting a conference call, what does he want from me? How will I accomplish this? Corporate America is filled with rhetoric and rhetorical situations and I didn’t even realize it until now.

There are 17 different strength themes in this team.

[Define each strength theme. Definition included – paraphrase and write in your own words]:

Relator: Relator describes your attitude toward your relationships. In simple terms, the Relator theme pulls you toward people you already know. You do not necessarily shy away from meeting new people—in fact, you may have other themes that cause you to enjoy the thrill of turning strangers into friends—but you do derive a great deal of pleasure and strength from being around your close friends. You are comfortable with intimacy. Once the initial connection has been made, you deliberately encourage a deepening of the relationship. You want to understand their feelings, their goals, their fears, and their dreams; and you want them to understand yours. You know that this kind of closeness implies a certain amount of risk—you might be taken advantage of—but you are willing to accept that risk. For you a relationship has value only if it is genuine. And the only way to know that is to entrust yourself to the other person. The more you share with each other, the more you risk together. The more you risk together, the more each of you proves your caring is genuine. These are your steps toward real friendship, and you take them willingly.

Ideation: You are fascinated by ideas. What is an idea? An idea is a concept, the best explanation of the most events. You are delighted when you discover beneath the complex surface an elegantly simple concept to explain why things are the way they are. An idea is a connection. Yours is the kind of mind that is always looking for connections, and so you are intrigued when seemingly disparate phenomena can be linked by an obscure connection. An idea is a new perspective on familiar challenges. You revel in taking the world we all know and turning it around so we can view it from a strange but strangely enlightening angle. You love all these ideas because they are profound, because they are novel, because they are clarifying, because they are contrary, because they are bizarre. For all these reasons you derive a jolt of energy whenever a new idea occurs to you. Others may label you creative or original or conceptual or even smart. Perhaps you are all of these. Who can be sure? What you are sure of is that ideas are thrilling. And on most days this is enough.

Individualization: Your Individualization theme leads you to be intrigued by the unique qualities of each person. You are impatient with generalizations or “types” because you don’t want to obscure what is special and distinct about each person. Instead, you focus on the differences between individuals. You instinctively observe each person’s style, each person’s motivation, how each thinks, and how each builds relationships. You hear the one-of-a-kind stories in each person’s life. This theme explains why you pick your friends just the right birthday gift, why you know that one person prefers praise in public and another detests it, and why you tailor your teaching style to accommodate one person’s need to be shown and another’s desire to “figure it out as I go.” Because you are such a keen observer of other people’s strengths, you can draw out the best in each person. This Individualization theme also helps you build productive teams. While some search around for the perfect team “structure” or “process,” you know instinctively that the secret to great teams is casting by individual strengths so that everyone can do a lot of what they do well.

Responsibility: Your Responsibility theme forces you to take psychological ownership for anything you commit to, and whether large or small, you feel emotionally bound to follow it through to completion. Your good name depends on it. If for some reason you cannot deliver, you automatically start to look for ways to make it up to the other person. Apologies are not enough. Excuses and rationalizations are totally unacceptable. You will not quite be able to live with yourself until you have made restitution. This conscientiousness, this near obsession for doing things right, and your impeccable ethics, combine to create your reputation: utterly dependable. When assigning new responsibilities, people will look to you first because they know it will get done. When people come to you for help—and they soon will—you must be selective. Your willingness to volunteer may sometimes lead you to take on more than you should.

Focus: “Where am I headed?” you ask yourself. You ask this question every day. Guided by this theme of Focus, you need a clear destination. Lacking one, your life and your work can quickly become frustrating. And so each year, each month, and even each week you set goals. These goals then serve as your compass, helping you determine priorities and make the necessary corrections to get back on course. Your Focus is powerful because it forces you to filter; you instinctively evaluate whether or not a particular action will help you move toward your goal. Those that don’t are ignored. In the end, then, your Focus forces you to be efficient. Naturally, the flip side of this is that it causes you to become impatient with delays, obstacles, and even tangents, no matter how intriguing they appear to be. This makes you an extremely valuable team member. When others start to wander down other avenues, you bring them back to the main road. Your Focus reminds everyone that if something is not helping you move toward your destination, then it is not important. And if it is not important, then it is not worth your time. You keep everyone on point.

Consistency: Balance is important to you. You are keenly aware of the need to treat people the same, no matter what their station in life, so you do not want to see the scales tipped too far in any one person’s favor. In your view this leads to selfishness and individualism. It leads to a world where some people gain an unfair advantage because of their connections or their background or their greasing of the wheels. This is truly offensive to you. You see yourself as a guardian against it. In direct contrast to this world of special favors, you believe that people function best in a consistent environment where the rules are clear and are applied to everyone equally. This is an environment where people know what is expected. It is predictable and evenhanded. It is fair. Here each person has an even chance to show his or her worth.

Discipline: Your world needs to be predictable. It needs to be ordered and planned. So you instinctively impose structure on your world. You set up routines. You focus on timelines and deadlines. You break long term projects into a series of specific short-term plans, and you work through each plan diligently. You are not necessarily neat and clean, but you do need precision. Faced with the inherent messiness of life, you want to feel in control. The routines, the timelines, the structure, all of these help create this feeling of control. Lacking this theme of Discipline, others may sometimes resent your need for order, but there need not be conflict. You must understand that not everyone feels your urge for predictability; they have other ways of getting things done. Likewise, you can help them understand and even appreciate your need for structure. Your dislike of surprises, your impatience with errors, your routines, and your detail orientation don’t need to be misinterpreted as controlling behaviors that box people in. Rather, these behaviors can be understood as your instinctive method for maintaining your progress and your productivity in the face of life’s many distractions.

Connectedness: Things happen for a reason. You are sure of it. You are sure of it because in your soul you know that we are all connected. Yes, we are individuals, responsible for our own judgments and in possession of our own free will, but nonetheless we are part of something larger. Some may call it the collective unconscious. Others may label it spirit or life force. But whatever your word of choice, you gain confidence from knowing that we are not isolated from one another or from the earth and the life on it. This feeling of Connectedness implies certain responsibilities. If we are all part of a larger picture, then we must not harm others because we will be harming ourselves. We must not exploit because we will be exploiting ourselves. Your awareness of these responsibilities creates your value system. You are considerate, caring, and accepting. Certain of the unity of humankind, you are a bridge builder for people of different cultures. Sensitive to the invisible hand, you can give others comfort that there is a purpose beyond our humdrum lives. The exact articles of your faith will depend on your upbringing and your culture, but your faith is strong. It sustains you and your close friends in the face of life’s mysteries.

Empathy: You can sense the emotions of those around you. You can feel what they are feeling as though their feelings are your own. Intuitively, you are able to see the world through their eyes and share their perspective. You do not necessarily agree with each person’s perspective. You do not necessarily feel pity for each person’s predicament—this would be sympathy, not Empathy. You do not necessarily condone the choices each person makes, but you do understand. This instinctive ability to understand is powerful. You hear the unvoiced questions. You anticipate the need. Where others grapple for words, you seem to find the right words and the right tone. You help people find the right phrases to express their feelings—to themselves as well as to others. You help them give voice to their emotional life. For all these reasons other people are drawn to you.

Restorative: You love to solve problems. Whereas some are dismayed when they encounter yet another breakdown, you can be energized by it. You enjoy the challenge of analyzing the symptoms, identifying what is wrong, and finding the solution. You may prefer practical problems or conceptual ones or personal ones. You may seek out specific kinds of problems that you have met many times before and that you are confident you can fix. Or you may feel the greatest push when faced with complex and unfamiliar problems. Your exact preferences are determined by your other themes and experiences. But what is certain is that you enjoy bringing things back to life. It is a wonderful feeling to identify the undermining factor(s), eradicate them, and restore something to its true glory. Intuitively, you know that without your intervention, this thing—this machine, this technique, this person, this company—might have ceased to function. You fixed it, resuscitated it, rekindled its vitality. Phrasing it the way you might, you saved it.

Futuristic: “Wouldn’t it be great if . . .” You are the kind of person who loves to peer over the horizon. The future fascinates you. As if it were projected on the wall, you see in detail what the future might hold, and this detailed picture keeps pulling you forward, into tomorrow. While the exact content of the picture will depend on your other strengths and interests—a better product, a better team, a better life, or a better world—it will always be inspirational to you. You are a dreamer who sees visions of what could be and who cherishes those visions. When the present proves too frustrating and the people around you too pragmatic, you conjure up your visions of the future and they energize you. They can energize others, too. In fact, very often people look to you to describe your visions of the future. They want a picture that can raise their sights and thereby their spirits. You can paint it for them. Practice. Choose your words carefully. Make the picture as vivid as possible. People will want to latch on to the hope you bring.

Woo: Woo stands for winning others over. You enjoy the challenge of meeting new people and getting them to like you. Strangers are rarely intimidating to you. On the contrary, strangers can be energizing. You are drawn to them. You want to learn their names, ask them questions, and find some area of common interest so that you can strike up a conversation and build rapport. Some people shy away from starting up conversations because they worry about running out of things to say. You don’t. Not only are you rarely at a loss for words; you actually enjoy initiating with strangers because you derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection. Once that connection is made, you are quite happy to wrap it up and move on. There are new people to meet, new rooms to work, new crowds to mingle in. In your world there are no strangers, only friends you haven’t met yet—lots of them.

Adaptability: You live in the moment. You don’t see the future as a fixed destination. Instead, you see it as a place that you create out of the choices that you make right now. And so you discover your future one choice at a time. This doesn’t mean that you don’t have plans. You probably do. But this theme of Adaptability does enable you to respond willingly to the demands of the moment even if they pull you away from your plans. Unlike some, you don’t resent sudden requests or unforeseen detours. You expect them. They are inevitable. Indeed, on some level you actually look forward to them. You are, at heart, a very flexible person who can stay productive when the demands of work are pulling you in many different directions at once.

Communicator: You like to explain, to describe, to host, to speak in public, and to write. This is your Communication theme at work. Ideas are a dry beginning. Events are static. You feel a need to bring them to life, to energize them, to make them exciting and vivid. And so you turn events into stories and practice telling them. You take the dry idea and enliven it with images and examples and metaphors. You believe that most people have a very short attention span. They are bombarded by information, but very little of it survives. You want your information—whether an idea, an event, a product’s features and benefits, a discovery, or a lesson—to survive. You want to divert their attention toward you and then capture it, lock it in. This is what drives your hunt for the perfect phrase. This is what draws you toward dramatic words and powerful word combinations. This is why people like to listen to you. Your word pictures pique their interest, sharpen their world, and inspire them to act.

Includer: “Stretch the circle wider.” This is the philosophy around which you orient your life. You want to include people and make them feel part of the group. In direct contrast to those who are drawn only to exclusive groups, you actively avoid those groups that exclude others. You want to expand the group so that as many people as possible can benefit from its support. You hate the sight of someone on the outside looking in. You want to draw them in so that they can feel the warmth of the group. You are an instinctively accepting person. Regardless of race or sex or nationality or personality or faith, you cast few judgments. Judgments can hurt a person’s feelings. Why do that if you don’t have to? Your accepting nature does not necessarily rest on a belief that each of us is different and that one should respect these differences. Rather, it rests on your conviction that fundamentally we are all the same. We are all equally important. Thus, no one should be ignored. Each of us should be included. It is the least we all deserve.

Maximizer: Excellence, not average, is your measure. Taking something from below average to slightly above average takes a great deal of effort and in your opinion is not very rewarding. Transforming something strong into something superb takes just as much effort but is much more thrilling. Strengths, whether yours or someone else’s, fascinate you. Like a diver after pearls, you search them out, watching for the telltale signs of a strength. A glimpse of untutored excellence, rapid learning, a skill mastered without recourse to steps—all these are clues that a strength may be in play. And having found a strength, you feel compelled to nurture it, refine it, and stretch it toward excellence. You polish the pearl until it shines. This natural sorting of strengths means that others see you as discriminating. You choose to spend time with people who appreciate your particular strengths. Likewise, you are attracted to others who seem to have found and cultivated their own strengths. You tend to avoid those who want to fix you and make you well rounded. You don’t want to spend your life bemoaning what you lack. Rather, you want to capitalize on the gifts with which you are blessed. It’s more fun. It’s more productive. And, counterintuitively, it is more demanding.

Strategic: The Strategic theme enables you to sort through the clutter and find the best route. It is not a skill that can be taught. It is a distinct way of thinking, a special perspective on the world at large. This perspective allows you to see patterns where others simply see complexity. Mindful of these patterns, you play out alternative scenarios, always asking, “What if this happened? Okay, well what if this happened?” This recurring question helps you see around the next corner. There you can evaluate accurately the potential obstacles. Guided by where you see each path leading, you start to make selections. You discard the paths that lead nowhere. You discard the paths that lead straight into resistance. You discard the paths that lead into a fog of confusion. You cull and make selections until you arrive at the chosen path—your strategy. Armed with your strategy, you strike forward. This is your Strategic theme at work: “What if?” Select. Strike.

 

The 17 different strength themes do fall into all four domains of leadership, but the distribution is not even. Most of the strength themes are under the relationship building and executing domains. Only 3 themes come under the influencing one.

words]:

Relator: Relator describes your attitude toward your relationships. In simple terms, the Relator

theme pulls you toward people you already know. You do not necessarily shy away from

meeting new people—in fact, you may have other themes that cause you to enjoy the thrill of

turning strangers into friends—but you do derive a great deal of pleasure and strength from being

around your close friends. You are comfortable with intimacy. Once the initial connection has

been made, you deliberately encourage a deepening of the relationship. You want to understand

their feelings, their goals, their fears, and their dreams; and you want them to understand yours.

You know that this kind of closeness implies a certain amount of risk—you might be taken

advantage of—but you are willing to accept that risk. For you a relationship has value only if it is

genuine. And the only way to know that is to entrust yourself to the other person. The more you

share with each other, the more you risk together. The more you risk together, the more each of

you proves your caring is genuine. These are your steps toward real friendship, and you take

them willingly.

Ideation: You are fascinated by ideas. What is an idea? An idea is a concept, the best explanation

of the most events. You are delighted when you discover beneath the complex surface an

elegantly simple concept to explain why things are the way they are. An idea is a connection.

Yours is the kind of mind that is always looking for connections, and so you are intrigued when

seemingly disparate phenomena can be linked by an obscure connection. An idea is a new

perspective on familiar challenges. You revel in taking the world we all know and turning it

around so we can view it from a strange but strangely enlightening angle. You love all these

Assignment Details

You are a business analyst working in the mortgage banking industry. Your manager asked you to analyze staffing needs for the Foreclosure Department. The manager requested a detailed report because she is not familiar with statistics and computations needed to make conclusions. Hence, your report must be written in a descriptive manner that defines and explains key concepts, categories, and processes rather than just presenting math calculation. You should explain each concept, discuss advantages and disadvantages, and justify your recommendations. The expectation is that the report is an MS Word document that is 5 pages long. The following is what the manager gave you:

  • At the beginning of this year, the portfolio included 100,000 loans in various stages of the foreclosure process.
  • In the last 4 months, there has been a significant increase in the portfolio, as presented in the following table:

Month

January

February

March

April

% increase

5%

10%

15%

20%

Total # of loans

105,000

115,500

132,825

159,390

  • The department currently employs 50 employees and has a huge backlog. The department quickly needs to hire more people, but the management does not know how many. This report should help resolve this problem quickly.

Please include the following information in your report:

  • Compare and contrast various sampling approaches (e.g., large sample, small sample, convenience sample, and so forth). Apprise each of them, and select the one that you intend to use. Justify your recommendation.
  • Explain how you are going to overcome challenges associated with sampling biases. In addition, what assurances are taken to address ethics problems in the experimental design that may arise if you need to lay off employees in your department to replace them with offshore, less expensive employees, assuming that you do not want to see your friends losing their jobs?
  • Propose performance expectations (goals) for all employees by composing productivity data and providing mean, median, and mode values. Some information has been gathered from 9 employees, but feel free to replace these numbers with numbers that will be discovered in your research. The number of documents processed per hour per employee is 14, 17, 14, 14, 13, 16, 15, 21, and 12. Do not forget to create charts to visually enhance this section.
  • Determine the probability that current trends in foreclosed loans will continue. Discuss factors that, in addition to percent increase presented in the table above, can affect the accuracy of your forecast. You should know whether or not unemployment rate, consumer spending, currency exchange rates, house prices, or seasonal factors can affect the number of foreclosed loans.
  • On the topic of probability, prepare for potential risks, and know which of the factors affecting forecast accuracy, explained previously, are independent, dependent, or mutually exclusive. Please explain and provide examples.

Assignment Details

The below scenario describes a real-world or business application that utilizes statistical analysis to help resolve a business problem: increasing efficiency by decreasing processing time. Prepare an analysis by completing five steps of the hypothesis testing with one sample. The report should be a minimum of 5 pages in length.

Last week, your manager asked you to analyze staffing needs for the Foreclosure Department. She was so impressed, and she wants you to create another report for her. Her intention is to decrease the processing time per document.

Based on last week’s report, the average number of processed documents per hour was 15.11, with a standard deviation of 2.666. That is, one document was reviewed in 238.25 seconds. To be objective as much as possible, the manager spoke with an employee whose average was exactly 15 documents per hour. The employee claimed that if she was given a larger monitor, the processing time would be shorter.

They conducted an experiment with a large monitor and measured processing time. After reviewing 20 documents, the calculated average processing time per document was 190.58 seconds. The manager believes that a bigger monitor helped reduce the processing time for reviewing foreclosure documents. Conduct a hypothesis test using a 95% confidence level, which means that significance level a = 0.05.

Use the 5-step process, and explain each term or concept mentioned in each section in the following.

Step 1: Set Up Null and Alternative Hypotheses

Based on the request description, explain if a one-tailed or two-tailed test is needed. If a one-tailed test is needed, is it a left or right-tailed test? Please explain why one alternative is better than the other.

State both of the following hypotheses:

  • Null hypothesis
  • Alternative hypothesis

You will need the following information to progress to Step 2:

  • Standard deviation: Explain what standard deviation is. Locate the calculated standard deviation in the assignment description, and enter here.
  • Random variable: Explain what a random variable is. Locate it in the assignment description, and enter here.
  • Test type: Compare and contrast t-test and z-test. Once done, determine which one is appropriate for the experiment given the fact that the sample size is less than 30.

Step 2: Decide the Level of Significance

Explain what the significance level is, and determine whether the one used in the assignment description is high, medium, or low. What does this significance level tell you about this test? Locate the level of significance in the given scenario, and list it in this step.

Significance level = ?

Determine the degree of freedom based on the number of reviewed documents in the new experiment (n = 20) and based on the formula Degree of freedom = n – 1.

Degree of freedom = ?

Critical value = (You will need to use the t-table and find the intersection point between the degree of freedom and the alpha value that is provided in the assignment description.)

Step 3: Calculate the Test Statistics

Calculate the test statistics based on the test type determined in Step 1.

If the determination was done correctly, you should use this formula to calculate the test statistics.

Test statistics = ?

Step 4: Compare the Calculated Test Statistics and the Critical Value

Construct a bell-shaped diagram showing the critical value and the calculated test statistic.

Step 5: Reach a Conclusion

Was the manager’s conclusion correct? Share your conclusions on the assumptions in the scenario using the hypothesis testing that you conducted in the previous four steps.
