Project Description:

Instructions

1 Start Excel. Download and open the file named exploring_ecap_grader_h1.xlsx.

2 On the Data worksheet, select the range A6:K6, wrap the text, and apply Center alignment. Change the row height to 30 for row 6.

3 In cell F7 in the Data worksheet, insert a formula that calculates the percentage of books returned based on the number of books returned and the quantity sold. Copy the formula from cell F7 to the range F8:F22.

4 In cell H7 in the Data worksheet, insert a formula that calculates the net sales. This monetary amount reflects the number of books not returned and the unit price. Copy the formula from cell H7 to the range H8:H22.

5 In cell I7 in the Data worksheet, insert a formula that calculates the amount of the first author's royalties. An author's royalties are based on the Royalty Rate located in the Input Area and the respective Net Sales. Copy the formula from cell I7 to the range I8:I22.

6 In cell K7 in the Data worksheet, insert a formula that adds the first author's royalty amount to the bonus. Copy the formula from cell K7 to the range K8:K22.

7 In cell J2 in the Data worksheet, insert a function to calculate the average net sales. In cell J3 insert a function to calculate the highest net sales. In cell J4 insert a function to calculate the lowest net sales.

10 Click cell K7 in the Data worksheet and replace the current contents with an IF function that compares the percent returned for the first book to the return rate in the Input Area. If the percent returned is less than the return rate, the result is $500. Otherwise, the author receives no bonus. The only value you may type directly in the function is 0 where needed. Copy the function you entered from cell K7 to the range K8:K22.
