Exp19_Excel_Ch07_CapAssessment_Shipping

Project Description:

You work for a company that sells cell phone accessories. The company has distribution centers in three states. You want to analyze shipping data for one week in April to determine if shipping times are too long. You will perform other analysis and insert a map. Finally, you will prepare a partial loan amortization table for a new delivery van.

Start   Excel. Download and open the file named Exp19_Excel_Ch07_CapAssessment_Shipping.xlsx. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename.

The Week worksheet contains data   for the week of April 5.
 

  In cell D7, insert the appropriate date function to calculate the number of   days between the Date Arrived and Date Ordered. Copy the function to the   range D8:D35.

Next, you want to display the   city names that correspond with the city airport codes.
 

  In cell F7, insert the SWITCH function to evaluate the airport code in cell   E7. Include mixed cell references to the city names in the range F2:F4. Use   the airport codes as text for the Value arguments. Copy the function to the   range F8:F35.

Now you want to display the   standard shipping costs by city.
 

  In cell H7, insert the IFS function to identify the shipping cost based on   the airport code and the applicable shipping rates in the range G2:G4. Use   relative and mixed references correctly. Copy the function to the range   H8:H35.

Finally, you want to calculate a   partial shipping refund if two conditions are met.
 

  In cell I7, insert an IF function with a nested AND function to determine   shipping refunds. The AND function should ensure both conditions are met:   Total Days is grater than Total Days Delivery Goal (cell C3) and Order Total   is equal to or greater than Order Total Threshold (cell C2). If both   conditions are met, the refund is 50% (cell C4) of the Shipping Cost.   Otherwise, the refund is $0. Use mixed references as needed. Copy the   function to the range I8:I35.

The Stats worksheet contains   similar data. Now you want to enter summary statistics.
 

  In cell B2, insert the COUNTIF function to count the number of shipments for   Austin (cell B1). Use appropriate mixed references to the range argument to   keep the column letters the same. Copy the function to the range C2:D2.

In cell B3, insert the SUMIF   function to calculate the total orders for Austin (cell B1). Use appropriate   mixed references to the range argument to keep the column letters the same.   Copy the function to the range C3:D3.

In cell B4, insert the AVERAGEIF   function to calculate the average number of days for shipments from Austin   (cell B1). Use appropriate mixed references to the range argument to keep the   column letters the same. Copy the function to the range C4:D4.

Now you want to focus on   shipments from Houston where the order was greater than $1,000.
 

  In cell C7, insert the COUNTIFS function to count the number of orders where   the Airport Code is IAH (Cell D1) and the Order Total is greater than $1,000.   

In cell C8, insert the SUMIFS   function to calculate the total orders where the Airport Code is IAH (Cell   D1) and the Order Total is greater than $1,000. 

In cell C9, insert the MAXIFS   function to return the highest order total where the Airport Code is IAH   (Cell D1) and the Order Total is greater than $1,000.

On the Map worksheet, insert a   map for the states and revenues. Cut and paste the map in cell C1.

Format the data series to show   only regions with data and show all map labels.

Change the map title to April 5-9   Gross Revenue.

Use the Loan worksheet to   complete the loan amortization table.
 

  In cell F2, insert the IPMT function to calculate the interest for the first   payment. Copy the function to the range F3:F25. (The results will update   after you complete the other functions and formulas.)

In cell G2, insert the PPMT   function to calculate the principal paid for the first payment. Copy the   function to the range G3:G25.

In cell H2, insert a formula to   calculate the ending principal balance. Copy the formula to the range H3:H25.

Now you want to determine how   much interest was paid during the first two years.
 

  In cell B10, insert the CUMIPMT function to calculate the cumulative interest   after the first two years. Make sure the result is positive.

In cell B11, insert the CUMPRINC   function to calculate the cumulative principal paid at the end of the first   two years. Make sure the result is positive.

You want to perform a what-if   analysis to determine the rate if the monthly payment is $1,150 instead of   $1,207.87.
 

  In cell B15, insert the RATE function to calculate the necessary monthly rate   given the NPER, proposed monthly payment, and loan. Make sure the result is   positive.

Finally, you want to convert the   monthly rate to an APR.
 

  In cell B16, insert a formula to calculate the APR for the monthly rate in   cell B15.

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

Save and close Exp19_Excel_Ch07_CapAssessment_Shipping.xlsx.   Exit Excel. Submit the file as directed.

Assignment Details

Assignment Description

Keep a human–computer interface (HCI) journal with your weekly observations of HCI issues that pertain to you, your work, your family, and your friends. Be sure to document your journal in chronological order.

Some examples of items you might wish to document could include any type of computer system that you directly or indirectly interact with, such as the following:

• ATMs
• Tollbooths
• Self-serve checkouts
• Automated soap dispensers

Your journal should meet the following requirements:

• Title page
• Four or more journal entries that      include the following:
  • Date
  • Title of entry
  • Description and thoughts on the       interaction
• A summary of 2–3 pages that      discusses the following:
  • Your overall experiences
  • Items you think could be improved.
  • Things you would like to see more automated.
  • How the systems could be improved
• At least 3 references in an      APA-formatted reference page. These references should be cited in your      summary, and your book may be used as one of your references.

Follow APA guidelines for the journal summary. You can format your journal entries in any format that is readable. If you are in any doubt about your chosen format, consult your instructor.

The following are two sample journal entries. Note that these two example topics (restroom automation and Web banking) may not be used in your journal.

July 15: Restrooms

This entry is specifically regarding the restrooms at the shopping mall. The mall has made some excellent strides toward accessibility in the restrooms, utilizing automatic flushing toilets, soap dispensers, and water faucets. These are easy-to-use systems. The user needs only to wave a hand in front of the sensor or move away from the toilet, and the systems will automatically perform their intended actions. One item that appears to be missing is automatic paper towel dispensers. The manual paper towel dispensers are located at what would be considered an average height, and they use a handle that must be pushed down multiple times to dispense paper towels. In an automated restroom, an automatic paper towel dispenser would provide a better experience and cause less confusion when a user has received automatic service for all of his or her other needs.

July 18: Online Savings Bank Account Setup

I have an online bank that I use for savings, and the bank just recently made changes to its Web site. When I went to the main bank Web site, I was first asked to enter my user ID. Because this was my first time using the new Web site, I had to do some authentication using an access code that was e-mailed to me. As soon as I provided my user ID, the Web site informed me that, because this was my first time accessing the user-friendly Web site, I would need to follow three easy steps as part of the setup. The Web site also provides a toll–free number for customer service, seven days per week, from 8:00am–11:30pm. I pressed Continue to start the three steps. The first step was to authenticate my identity, so I provided my access code, Social Security number, and date of birth. The items tabbed nicely from one item to the next and showed a picture of where the digital access code was located. Step two asked me to create security credentials. It included a new password, and then I had to answer several security questions that will be alternately asked when I log in to my account. The final step shows me my answered questions in a non-editing mode, asks me to review my security information, and informs me that an incorrect answer to a security question will lock me out of my account. Clicking “Add now” will take me to a Consumer Information page that asks me to check a box to confirm that I have read and agreed to the Account Disclosure, Electronic Disclosure and Consent Agreement, and Internet Banking Agreement. Clicking “Continue” brings me to a screen showing my account name and balance. The new interface is much easier to navigate because it has tabs along the top for all of the relevant transactions that I would want to do. The log off option is easily accessible.

Be sure to reference all sources using APA format.
