EXERCISE 1

TAX CALCULATION

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT A startup cosmetic enterprise TopCosmetic promotes and sells 8 types of high-quality cosmetic items which are internally referenced by 100, 101, …, respectively. The respective quantity and the unit price of each item are given by the below table. Each item is, however, subject to taxes whose amount is dependent on the unit price of the item.

To reduce the number errors, anomalies and difficulties related to the manual data manipulation, the manager of TopCosmetic instructs the DP staff to develop a more convenient computerized data management way based on Microsoft Excel. The later is an electronic spreadsheet software that will be used for storing, organizing and manipulating the products and sales details and for inventory purposes. This would build the foundation stone of a database application the enterprise is envisaging in the future with the increasing business turnover.

2. REQUIREMENTS The product details and the resulted tax information required by the enterprise manager are depicted by the below table. Thus, as DP staff you should develop an Excel worksheet that should reflect the same data, information and format as demanded by the manager and reported by the following table.

EXERCISE 2 PRODUCING SALES AND PROFIT REPORTS

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT A SME company called SMART LIGHT specialized in selling solar panels possesses 5 subsidiaries

across two continents, namely, in the cities New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris and Munich. These

cities are internally referenced by their codes C001, …, C005, respectively. At the end of each quarter,

a subsidiary should communicate to the headquarter the amounts of sales and costs done during the

quarter, however, monthly detailed. Based on the communicated data, the headquarter wants to

produce a quarterly that should entail statistics related to sales and profits done either individually

or globally. These statistics would be helpful for evaluating the activities of each subsidiary and in

making business decisions by the direction.

2. REQUIREMENTS The details on sales and profits produced either individually or globally as well as the preferred layout of the report required by the headquarter are depicted by the below table. Note the figured amount and city facts on the table represent inputs (data) and the missing facts represented by a question mark are information to be calculated using appropriate formulas and functions. Thus, the task is to develop an Excel worksheet that should provide the same required details in content and in form. As an easy and a comprehensive way to view overall sales and profits comparatively, a graphical representation using chart functions of Excel would be more advantageous as its shown below.

EXERCISE 3 DEVELOPING REPORTS

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT

A survey organization has conducted a study in different US cities to investigate purchase-salary

relationships. The study should comparatively provide statistics on annual salary by gender and city,

annual purchases by city, average annual purchases by city, and population number according to the

education of level of the respondents. It is assumed that the sample size of respondents C11, C12 …,

C20 is representative for the study.

2. REQUIREMENTS The result expected to be delivered by the study is given by the following table. Thus, you should develop an Excel worksheet that organize, calculate and store the survey result in form and content exactly as it is shown by the table. Note the facts shown in the table represent the input of the study whereas the cells containing a mark question represent information resulting from appropriate calculations using formulas and excel functions. As an easy and a comprehensive way to view overall purchases, salaries, population grouped by gender, cities and education level comparatively, a graphical representation using chart functions of Excel would be more appropriate as shown below.

EXERCISE 6 A GRADE SHEET APPLICATION

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT The direction of a school called SchoolOfSuccess has committed to recourse to a database approach

in the future for better mastering pupils’ grade management. As a database application is a complex

software piece and requires appropriate qualified DB personal currently the school does not possess,

the school direction found as alternative solution Excel software due to its easy use. After acquiring

first experiences in using a computerized solution, the school council intends to progressively shift

to a more efficient and professional database system, Microsoft Access, in which the cumulated Excel

data will imported.

2. REQUIREMENTS The computer-based grade calculation envisaged by the school direction should concern all pupils and all taught courses. The application should record pupil details as well as the marks (out of 100) obtained for each attended course. On the basis of these inputs, the average mark, grade and GPA will be calculated. Also some useful schooling statistics on performance, accomplishment/achievement are reported. Thus, you are requested to develop a similar Excel sheet with respect to the layout and the content. Note the facts shown in the table represent the input whereas the locations indicated by a mark question represent information resulting from appropriate calculations using formulas and functions.
