EX16_XL_COMP_GRADER_CAP_AS – Manufacturing 1.5
Project Description:
You have recently become the CFO for Beta Manufacturing, a small cap company that produces auto parts. As you step into your new position, you have decided to compile a report that details all aspects of the business, including: employee tax withholding, facility management, sales data, and product inventory. To complete the task, you will duplicate existing formatting, utilize various conditional logic functions, complete an amortization table with financial functions, visualize data with PivotTables, and lastly import data from another source.
Steps to Perform:
Step
Instructions
Points Possible
1
Start Excel. Open eApp_Cap2_Manufacturing.xlsx and save the workbook as ACC2343_Final_Manufacturing_LastFirst.
2
Group all the worksheets in the workbook and fill the range A1:F1 from the Insurance worksheet across all worksheets maintaining the formatting. Ungroup the worksheets after the fill is complete and ensure the Insurance worksheet is active.
Hint: -All worksheet grouped
-Value from range A1:F1 filled across all worksheets
-Same format maintained across all worksheets
-Worksheets ungrouped
3
Click cell I5 and enter a function that determines the number of full-time employees, (FT).
Hint: -Function in cell I5 uses the right cells
-Function used the right conditional Count function
4
Enter a function in cell I6 that determines the average salary of all full-time employees. Format the results in Accounting Number Format.
Hint:
Use DAVERAGE(…….).
-Function entered in I6 uses correct cells
-Function calculates average salary of all full-time employees
-Accounting number format applied to result
5
Enter a lookup function in cell E5 that returns the tax deduction amount for the number of dependents listed in the cell C5. Use the table in range H13:I17 to complete the function. The maximum deduction is $500.00; therefore, employees with more than four dependents will
receive no additional deductions.
Hint: -Used suggested type of Lookup function (VLOOKUP) to return correct value.
-Absolute cell reference, and relative cell reference must be used in their places to get the complete marks here.
6
Use Auto Fill to copy the function down, completing column E. Be sure to use the appropriate cell referencing. Format the data in column E with the Accounting Number Format.
Hint: -Auto fill used to copy function down column
-Appropriate cell referencing (absolute cell reference, and relative cell reference must be used in their places to get the complete marks here)

7
Enter a logical function in cell F5 that calculates employee FICA withholding. If the employee is full-time and has at least one dependent, then he or she pays 7% of the annual salary minus any deductions. All other employees pay 5% of the annual salary minus any deductions. Copy the function down through column F. Format the data in column F with Accounting Number Format.
Hint:
= IF (AND (logical 1, logical 2….))
-Logical function in cell F5 calculate FICA withholding-Full-time (FT) employee with at less 1 dependent pays 7% of the annual salary minus any deductions.
