 Exp19 Excel Ch02 CapAssessment Inland Jewelers 

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.

Start   Excel. Download and open the file named Exp19_Excel_Ch02_Cap_InlandJewelers.xlsx. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename.

Insert a function in cell B2 to   display the current date from your system.

With cell B2 selected, set the   width of column B to AutoFit.

Insert a VLOOKUP function in   cell C5 to display the ring cost for  the first student. The cost of the ring   type should be an exact match.  Use appropriate relative and absolute cell   references.

Copy the formula from cell C5 to   the range C6:C11.

Apply Accounting number format   to the range C5:C11.

Insert an IF function in cell E5 to calculate the total   due. If the  student has chosen to personalize the ring, there is an   additional  charge of 5% located in cell B21 that must be added to the cost of   the  ring; if not, the student only pays the base price. Use appropriate    relative and absolute cell references.

Copy the formula from cell E5 to   the range E6:E11.

Apply Accounting number format   to the range E5:E11.

Insert a function in cell G5 to   calculate the first student’s  monthly payment, using appropriate relative and   absolute cell  references. Ensure the result is a positive number.

Copy the formula from cell G5 to   the range G6:G11.

Apply Accounting number format   to the range G5:G11.

Calculate totals in cells C12,   E12, and G12.

Apply Accounting number format   to the cells C12, E12, and G12.

Set 0.3″ left and right   margins and ensure the page prints on only one page.

Insert a footer with your name   on the left side, the sheet name in the center, and the file name on the   right side.

Save and close Exp19_Excel_Ch02_Cap_InlandJewelers.xlsx.   Exit Excel. Submit the file as directed

  Read the Module 1 Case Study and answer the following question in a word document and then submit/upload your document. Document format identified below.

Question: In 2015, Google announced the introduction of a new service called Android Pay. Using your favorite search engine or the resources of your library, learn more about Android Pay and, in about 250 words, explain why you think Google decided to develop this new product. In your answer, be sure to consider why Google also decided to continue offering its Google Wallet product.

MODULE 1 CASE STUDY BELOW: 

 Case Study 1:  Digital Wallets on Mobile Devices: Apple and Google One of the fastest-growing segments of the online payments business is mobile payments. U.S. mobile payments are expected to reach $140 billion by 2019 and purchases using mobile devices could account for half of all online retail sales by 2017. Google introduced one of the first digital wallet products that would work on a mobile device in 2011 when it also introduced support for the operation of NFC chips in its Android mobile operating system. Google Wallet stores a MasterCard account for users that agree to maintain a cash balance with the card’s issuing bank, so it operates essentially as a debit card. Google Wallet does not charge a fee to merchants or the MasterCard issuing banks, nor does it charge a transaction fee. Instead, it generates revenue from advertisers who pay to display ads, offer coupons or other promotions (specific ads are displayed based on the mobile device’s proximity to the stores that are making the offers). Google Wallet has been slow to catch on with users. In 2014, Apple introduced a digital wallet product for its mobile devices called Apple Pay. In operation, Apple Pay is similar to Google Wallet; however, the infrastructure and revenue model is different. Apple Pay charges the issuing banks a fee of 0.05 percent of the transaction amount and guarantees each transaction; that is, if the transaction is fraudulent, Apple will cover the loss. Credit card companies normally charge merchants a fee ranging between 2 and 3 percent of the transaction amount, so the additional Apple Pay fee serves as a low-priced insurance plan for them. Consumers will not be charged at all for using Apple Pay and will not be given advertising messages. Further, Apple has stated that it does not collect information about consumer buying habits from Apple Pay data. Apple arranged for American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa credit cards to be included in their system, along with a group of large card-issuing banks. They also included major retailers such as Bloomingdales, Disney, Staples, Walgreens and Whole Foods. These participants will be able to collect data on consumer buying habits, but only on those consumers that use their card or shop at their stores. Apple reported that more than a million credit cards were registered with Apple Pay in the first three days it was available. After Apple Pay’s introduction, an increase in the number of retailers that accept NFC payments (as you learned in this chapter, NFC technology is used by both Google Wallet and Apple Pay) caused an increase in the use of Google Wallet.
