Open the Excel workbook Student_Excel_3G_Expenses.xlsx   downloaded with this project.

In the Expenses worksheet, calculate row totals for each Expense item   in the range F5:F9. Calculate column totals for each quarter and for the   Annual Total in the range B10:F10. Be sure that F6:F9 are formatted with   Comma Style and zero decimal places.

In cell G5, construct a formula to calculate the Percent of Total by   dividing the Annual Total for Salaries and Benefits by the Annual Total for   all quarters. Use absolute cell references as necessary, format the result in   Percent Style, and then Center. Fill the formula down through cell G9.

Use a 3-D Pie chart to chart the Annual Total (in Column F) for each   item. Move the chart to a new sheet and then name the sheet Annual Expenses Chart

Format the Data Series using a   3-D Format effect. Change the Top bevel and Bottom bevel–under Bevel, in the   first row, apply the first bevel effect. Set the Top bevel Width and Height   to 50 pt and then set the Bottom   bevel Width and Height to 256 pt.

Display the Series Options, and   then set the Angle of first slice to 125 so that the Salaries and Benefits slice is in the   front of the pie. Select the Salaries and Benefits slice, and then explode   the slice 10%.

Format the Chart Area by   applying a Gradient fill using the Preset gradients—in the first column,   apply the second gradient. Format the Border of the Chart Area by adding a   Solid line border—in the fourth column, apply the first color. Change the   Width to 3 pt.

Close any open panes, click cell A1 to deselect the chart,   and then Save your workbook.

Copy the Annual Total in cell   F10 and then use Paste Special to paste Values & Number Formatting in   cell B35. In cell C35, construct a formula to calculate the Projected   Expenses after the forecasted increase of 3.5% in cell B31 is applied. Fill the formula through cell F35, and   then use Format Painter to copy the formatting from cell B35 to the range   C35:F35.

Change the Orientation of this   worksheet to Landscape, and then use the Scale to Fit options to fit the   Height to 1 page. From the Page Setup dialog box, center the worksheet   Horizontally, and insert a custom footer in the left section with the file   name. Save your workbook.

Display the Enrollment   worksheet. Insert a Funnel chart that shows resident workshop participation   for the year using the range A4:B6. Change the Height of the chart to 2.5 inches and the Width to 3 inches and then drag the chart   so that the upper left corner aligns with the upper left corner of A9. Change   the chart title to Enrollment Analysis and then click cell A1. Center the worksheet   Horizontally and insert a Custom Footer in the left section with the file   name.

o   Conclusion: What was the conclusion of the research

**You are required to do this for each of the 5 articles**. Citation in APA format, is critical as you report/review the articles 

The purpose of this assignment is to examine the components of a research article and help you identify guidelines for conducting critical analyses of published works.  The knowledge gained should be applied when completing your weeks 3 and 5 research assignments.  As you complete assignments it is a good idea to proof read your work or use the University writing center to help with APA formatting.  Both are great avenues for assistance in minimizing grammatical errors and conducting research. Please use the attached “Guidelines for Evaluating a Research Article” to answer the below questions:

• Explain the difference(s) between qualitative vs quantitative research methods.
• Why use Peer Reviewed journals?
• Why are keywords used during the Literature Review process?
• Why are project deliverables, limitations & deadlines an important aspect of project development?
• Why use/apply APA Basic Citation Stiles in your writing assignments/research?
• Why is Academic Integrity important (see syllabus)?
• Explain the difference between plagiarism vs self-plagiarism?

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Project Description:

You are an account manager for Inland Jewelers, a regional company that makes custom class rings for graduating seniors. Your supervisor requested a workbook to report on new accounts created on payment plans. The report should provide details on total costs to the student as well as payment information. Each ring financed has a base price that can fluctuate based on ring personalization.

For this portion of the project, you will examine your dataset for incorrect data. Any incorrect data should be removed, corrected, or imputed. Follow these steps:

• Remove irrelevant data. If you are unsure if it is irrelevant, then keep it.
• Remove duplicate records that are repeated.
• Make sure numbers are interpreted as numerical data types.
• Fix typos.
• Standardize.
• Investigate outliers.
• Check and manage missing values.
• Format and normalize data if needed.
• Change categorical values into numbers if needed.

Once you have completed this, you will need to provide a Word document summarizing the pre-processing steps performed on your dataset.
