PROBLEM SET #1
FUNCTIONS USED IN MANAGEMENT MODELS

You may type answers use a computer or a tablet application or print the assignment and
write the answers by hand. Submit as printed and stappled hard copy in class or at my
office door mailbox (IN 229) before COB Monday, July 27.. Group work is encouraged,
individual submission required. Feel free to ask me any clarification questions.
