Although Victor Turner’s writings have proved fruitful for fields beyond anthropology, his definition of ritual is overly restrictive. Ritual, he says, is “prescribed formal behavior for occasions not given over to technological routine, having reference to beliefs in mystical beings or powers.” “Technological routine” refers to the means by which a social group provides for its material needs. Turner’s differentiating ritual from technology helps us recognize that festivals and celebrations may have little purpose other than play, but it obscures the practical aims, such as making crops grow or healing patients, of other rituals. Further, Turner’s definition implies a necessary relationship between ritual and mystical beliefs. However, not all rituals are religious; some religions have no reference to mystical beings; and individuals may be required only to participate in, not necessarily believe in, a ritual. Turner’s assumption that ritual behavior follows belief thus limits the usefulness of his definition in studying ritual across cultures.

A business needs a $240,000 loan for one year and has two options to decide between. Option 1 is a fixed rate loan for the entire amount, with a simple annual interest rate of 5%. Option 2 involves two loans: a fixed rate loan for $190,000, with a simple annual interest rate of 4%, and a second fixed rate loan for $50,000, with a simple annual interest rate of r%. Both options have otherwise identical terms and require payment in full of interest and principal at the end of the year.

In the first column, identify the interest rate r% at which the two options require the same total interest payment. In the second column, identify the interest rate r% at which the annual interest on the $190,000 loan in Option 2 would be exactly twice the annual interest on the $50,000 loan. Make only two selections, one in each column.
