Buying a House

5
Loan Project: Buying a House
For this assignment, you will analyze, interpret, and evaluate a home mortgage loan using appropriate technological tools.

Find a description, asking price, and real estate taxes of a house for sale, and decide on a purchase price you would be willing to pay (assuming you have the means). Find a current market interest rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage having a down payment of 20 percent of the purchase price.
Compute the down payment, amount financed, and the monthly mortgage payment (showing how to use the appropriate financial formula and showing the calculations).
Compute the monthly amount of real estate taxes and add to the monthly mortgage payment to get the total monthly amount paid.
Suppose that in order to qualify for the loan, the total monthly amount paid cannot exceed 30 percent of monthly income. What is the minimum monthly income needed to qualify for the loan? What is the minimum annual income needed? (Note: This is a simplified minimum income requirement calculation, for the purposes of this project, as it does not take into account other costs such as insurance or other loans or assets currently held.)
Construct an amortization table (using spreadsheet software or online resources such as http://www.bankrate.com/calculators/mortgages/mortgage-calculator.aspx).
Referring to your amortization table, state the month and year of the first payment. Find the date of the first month when the amount applied to the principal exceeds the amount of interest paid. How many of the 360 payments have been made at this point?
Calculate the unpaid balance after 22 years, rounded to the nearest dollar (showing how to apply the appropriate financial formula and showing the calculations). What percentage of the amount financed is still unpaid? Note: You should check your answer for the unpaid balance by consulting your amortization table, but you must show how to calculate the value in your project.
Assuming that the mortgage is held for the full 30 years, compute the total principal paid and the total interest paid.
Conclusion: Write a summary describing the results, particularly those you found to be most interesting, and why.

MS EXCEL-based Visual Basic program

Design of Experiment
This workshop utilizes TURN9DOE, an MS EXCEL-based Visual Basic program, to simulate a
turning operation that is being used to manufacture a bronze bushing (Fig. 1). The goal of the
workshop is to apply the general class of 2k-p fractional factorial designs to improve the centering
of two lathes that perform the turning operations in order to improve the process capability.
Learning Objective
The objective of this computer workshop is to give you practice in the planning, conducting, and
interpreting designed experiments. In addition, it is expected that you will need to combine the
results of fractional factorial designs to unconfound variable interactions. Finally, based on the
experiment analysis the student is asked to determine and validate variable levels that will
improve the process capability.
Figure 1: Bronze bushing.
Background
The turning process producing a bronze bushing was studied using statistical process control
with the finish of the outside surface serving as the quality characteristic of interest. After
corrective actions were taken to eliminate special causes, the X and R charts for each machine
showed good statistical control. Investigation of process capability for the individual machines
revealed that two problems still exist:
1. Only one of the three machines is operating at the nominal surface roughness (Ra); the
specification is 70 ± 15 microinches.
2. All three of the machines exhibit excessive variability in surface roughness values.
The process engineer working on this problem had recently become acquainted with the
techniques of statistical design of experiments. He decided to try to apply these techniques in an
attempt to learn more clearly what factors might influence surface roughness, either
independently, or in concert with each other, or both. He met with several individuals associated
with the process and they developed a list of potentially important factors together with the
feasible ranges of variation for these factors. The table on the next page provides this list of
factors. The table also provides the current state of affairs with respect to each of these factors.
Description of TURN9DOE
The TURN9DOE program has been developed to simulate the act of running experiments with
the nine process variables shown in the table below. The program produces a surface roughness
value as a test result for any given combination of process settings you specify.

Assignment
The process engineer needs guidance in designing the tests and analyzing the data. He calls on
you for help. Use the general classes of 2k and/or 2k-p factorial and fractional factorial designs
to discover what changes might be initiated to improve the two off-target machines.
The following guidance may be useful:
1. You should be concerned only with process centering at this point, i.e., we will work only
with location effects.
2. You may experiment with all (9) factors or with any subset you choose – it’s all up to you.
3. You should run no more than about 30-50 experiments in the entire study.
4. You should think in terms of running several smaller and perhaps related experiments as
opposed to one big experiment.
5. You are free to choose the high and low levels for the experiments anywhere within the
feasible range – again, it’s all up to you.
Ultimately, you will determine the processing conditions that will center the machines about the
nominal surface roughness value (70 µ in.).
To complete the assignment, the following tasks must be undertaken:
1. Design your experiment. The levels of the variables are up to you, but within the guidelines
established above. Multiple designs may need to be performed to unconfound the variable
interactions associated with a highly fractionated design.
2. Run TURN9DOE to collect sample values for each set of levels.
3. Establish a model for the process based on the analysis of your results.
4. Use plotting software to characterize the response surface(s) and levels for the processing
variables that center each machine.
5. Perform validation tests to confirm that the identified processing conditions do indeed result
in centered machines.
6. Prepare a report that details the findings of your study.
The report, describing what you have learned about the process, must include at least the
following:
1. An executive summary, which summarizes the contents and conclusions of your report in
approximately one page.
2. A body of the report, which includes the following components:
a. An introductory section, which briefly describes the problem at hand and indicates the
methodology to be employed in determining the recommended operating conditions.
b. A procedures section, which describes in detail the results of your investigation. Be sure
to list all experiments you conducted, the data obtained, and the associated analysis.
Don’t forget to indicate the logic used in your evolving design of experiments strategy.
Include graphs of the relevant response surface(s). Carefully explain your
recommendations and the logic associated with them. Show the results of confirmatory
tests. You should state clearly how you arrived at any conclusions.
3. A conclusions section, which summarizes your study and its findings.
4. An appendix section, which includes supporting material (e.g., data and calculations).

Leadership

Leadership
The paper should analyze and summarize recent articles or TV news coverage featuring a leadership topic. Focus on recent events (2008 and up) for your paper.

The topic I have chosen is Jay-Z as a leader and how he started from the bottom and now is not only a rapper but an entrepreneur. His style of leadership and how that has led him to where he is.

Organize your paper so that it clearly delineates the Introduction, Body, Conclusion, and Reference sections. Please, use subheadings in the body of the paper to highlight key points.
use the following approach:

1. Start with an Introduction that presents your thesis – the focus or purpose statement of your paper. Don’t form the thesis or introduction statement until you have read all your articles.

2. Next is a Background section that summarizes the articles you choose. Summarize the key concepts of each article into a brief narrative in your own words. Make sure to use quotation marks and citations for sentences, words or phrases lifted off the pages of your articles.

3. In the Analysis section, identify common threads or themes in your articles. What area(s) of leadership do these themes address – leadership style/behavior, traits, motivation, power, charisma, vision, ethics, values, effectiveness, etc. Do all the articles support your thesis as stated in the introduction? If not, state and explain the areas where there are differences.

4. In your Conclusion section, present your own opinion on the paper. What’s your reaction to the topic?

Rhetoric Communications

Rhetoric Communications

Choose four questions; each should take up approximately 1/4 of the 9 page paper. (Must meet word count.) If any sources are used, but cite them properly and have works cited, which doesn’t count as part of word count total. Artifacts (URLs) have been provided for the questions. If you have any trouble with them, contact me.

1. Dramatism is not only a story-based criticism but an inclusive theory of human communication. Using Reece Witherspoon’s recent attempt at damage control, explain the hierarchies in conflict, what makes the message effective/ineffective (creates identification), how she spotlights her motive (pentad) and her choice of purification/transcendence:
http://variety.com/2013/tv/news/video-reese-witherspoon-apology-for-dui-incident-1200441307/

2. Ideology critics argue that cultural practices create & reflect reality; artifacts are battlegrounds for meaning; and multiple patterns of belief exist in all cultures but some come to dominate. Using your knowledge of this umbrella theory, analyze the Chris Christie tweet:
http://newyork.newsday.com/news/region-state/chris-christie-kills-spider-tweets-saved-children-1.5205963

3. How is the national “women in combat” debate impacting our concept of gender equality? (If you aren’t following the debate, it’s easy to google)

4. The goal of generic criticism is to find commonalities in rhetorical patterns across recurring situations, to see similarities in situations and rhetors’ responses to them. Using the artifacts on SacCT (and any others you think appropriate), what steps would you take to see if a generic class could be formed around the rhetoric of heroism. Provide a few examples of the situational requirements and the substantive and stylistic characteristics you might consider as potential rules for this genre. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/05/08/charles-ramsey-take-that-reward-and-give-it-to-the-kidnap-victims/
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/michael-mayo-blog/sfl-carlos-arredondo-20130507,0,5886877.story
http://www.caglecartoons.com/viewimage.asp?ID={C9D434AC-3DAD-4BFF-892E-F60332061271}

5. One of the biggest challenges facing a rhetor is creating internal credibility – especially when the issue is gender-sensitive. Review the opinion editorial “Real beauty, really Dove?” Provide examples of how the rhetor tried to demonstrate her character, competence/intelligence, goodwill and power to her readers. Discuss the effectiveness of those efforts:
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-daum-dove-sketch-women-20130502,0,6637517.column

6. Narrative criticism studies a rhetor’s response to a rhetorical situation through the creation of a story full of characters, their deeds and the setting where deeds take place. The audience becomes an active participant in the creation of these story-based messages. According to an Advertising Age survey of professionals, the top 2013 Super Bowl commercial was “Brotherhood” by Budweiser. Using examples from the video, describe how the story functions as a guide to belief and behavior: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2prAccclXs

7. Last Thanksgiving, “Gangnam Style” officially became the most-viewed video in YouTube history, ousting the Bieb’s “Baby” from the top spot. By Christmas, it surpassed a billion views and today it is over 1.5 billion. As a critic, you must have some explanation for this success. What research question might lead us to advance persuasion theory? What method would provide the best answer? Remember to justify your selections:

8. We have discussed how visual techniques and hybrid texts are employed to convey meaning and establish a point of view. Using the concepts of visual criticism, argue how this magazine cover functions as persuasion: http://www.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,20130211,00.html
