Response
Quantitative skills refer to the ability to examine numerical data and solve mathematical
problems. Individuals who may possess such skills are found to be quite useful
in the workplace
and
these
skills are
valuable, convenient and
beneficial in
recognizing
styles
that can
inspirations and or guidance toward making excellent
business decisions
.
It is the process of
gathering information from existing and potential customers by sampling methods and the
distribution of online surveys, questionnaires, online polls, and so on. The results of these polls
or surveys are represented numerically.
(
Dauderis, H., Annand, D., & Jensen, T. (2021A).
I am An Administrative Assistant by Profession at the Pan American Health Organization
(PAHO), previously I worked as a secretary at the Ministry of Health, throughout my career, I
have observed and noticed the skills that I have acquired and developed as well as where I am
weak.
As it relates to some of my strengths of
Quantitative Skills, I would say is that these skills
allow me to
offer as well as deliver the formulation of statistically sound. Also, it allows me to
evaluate data in terms of numerical information exceptionally fast and accurately. Thirdly, it
creates a form of systematic comparisons among other relevant and appropriate standards. I am
very competent with numbers. (n.d)
Whilst my Weaknesses of Quantitative skills is that I have difficulty majority of times
in
problem solving. I remember previously I had difficulty in a course, and I was literally praying
for semester to be over.
It was mainly focused on problem solving in terms of Programming.
Writing programs in each app. This was found to be the worst semester ever. However, I did not
fail the course. It was just challenging to grasp and understand the concept of the fundamentals
of Programming.
I feel eager to learn whatever this course has to offer and I expect after completion of this course,
that I am able to teach others in future and that it becomes part of my job so as to allow me to
utilize my knowledge and skill efficiently and effectively in the business world.

Part 1
(Comprehensive Problem) Suppose that you are in the fall of your senior year and are faced with the choice of either getting a job when you graduate or going to law school. Of course, your choice is not purely financial. However, to make an informed decision you would like to know the financial implications of the two alternatives. Let's assume that your alternatives are as follows:
If you take the "get a job" route you expect to start off with a salary of
$35,000
per year. There is no way to predict what will happen in the future, your best guess is that your salary will grow at
4
percent per year until you retire in
42
years. As a law student, you will be paying
$30,000
per year tuition for each of the
3
years you are in graduate school. However, you can then expect a job with a starting salary of
$75,000
per year. Moreover, you expect your salary to grow by
7
percent per year until you retire
36
years later.
