Quantitative Reasoning Signature Assignment

Marissa Serrano

I think understanding finance is one of the most important quantitative reasoning concepts we
learned this semester. Understanding finance is important because it will allow me to make
sound financial decisions in my future. For example, when I decide to buy a house I will be able
to calculate my monthly payments, how much I will pay in interest and how much I will pay in
total for my home. It will also allow me to determine how much I should pay on top of my
required monthly payment if I decided that I wanted to pay less in interest and pay off my loan
sooner. Understanding finance is something that can benefit everyone, whether they are
buying a car, home, property or anything else, it will help you make an informed, educated
decision that will help you manage and improve your financial situation.
