#YO19 Excel Capstone Intro Smart Rental

Project Description:

Virginia Garrero owns a small business in which she rents high end handbags, accessories, dresses and evening gowns. Virginia has created a workbook to keep track of weekly rentals. She uses this workbook to keep track of rentals and also to identify trends in length of rental, and payment method. Virginia wants to use this information when forecasting which new products to purchase for her rental business. To purchase new products, she will need to take out a loan. Therefore, she also wants to know what her monthly payment would be if new products were purchased. You have been asked to help finish the workbook so that Virginia can use it on a weekly basis.

Start Excel. Download and open the file named   Excel_Capstone_Intro_SmartRental.xlsx. Grader has automatically added your last name to   the beginning of the file name. Save the file to a location where you are   storing your files.

To improve the   appearance of the RentalData worksheet, wrap the text of cell range A5:I5.

Merge and Center cell   range K1:P1.
  Copy the format of cell K5 and paste the format to cell range N5:P5.

Delete Sheet4 and   Sheet5 from the workbook.

On the RentalData   worksheet, in cell E6, enter a DATEDIF (or DAYS) formula to determine the   length of rental in days based on the date rented and the date returned. Copy   this formula through cell range E7:E31.

On the RentalData   worksheet, assign a named range Rates to cell range A34:B37.

In cell G6, use an   appropriate VLOOKUP function to retrieve the daily rate from the named range   Rates for the product in column A. The function should look for an exact   match.
  Copy the formula through cell G31.
  Format cell range G6:G31 with the Accounting Number Format.

Rewards customers are   allowed a discount on their rentals. In cell H6, enter a formula to determine   if a discount should be applied. If the payment method in column F was Rewards, the customer should   receive the discount shown in cell B39. Otherwise the formula should return a   zero. Use absolute referencing where appropriate and then copy the formula   through cell range H7:H31.
  Apply the Percent style with zero decimal places to cell range H6:H31.

Virginia considers   customers who spend over $200 a week to be valued customers and wants to draw   attention to their sales totals.
  Apply a Conditional Format to cell range I6:I31 that will highlight the   values greater than 200 with Green Fill and Dark Green   Text. 

In cell I32, use a   function to add the Total Sales column.
  If necessary, in cell I32, remove the Conditional formatting.
  In cell I32, apply the Total cell style, bold formatting and change the font   to size 16.

Adjust the width of   columns O and P to 13
  Hide rows 33:39.

Virginia is   considering offering specials to clients based on their payment method.   Therefore, she wants you to help her analyze the week’s payment information   so she can determine her clients’ preferred method of payment.
 

  In cell L6, using a Statistical function, count the number of times the   criteria in cell K6 is used. Use absolute referencing where necessary and   then copy the formula through cell L9.

In cell O6, using a   Statistical function, determine the average total sales based on the payment   method type in cell N6. Use absolute referencing where necessary and then   copy the formula through cells O9.

In cell P6, using a   Math & Trig function, determine the total sale per payment method based   on the payment method in cell N6. Use absolute referencing and then copy the   formula through cell P9.
  Apply a Gradient Fill Orange Data Bar to P6:P9. 

Virginia wants to   determine if the sales goal for the week was met. The sales goal for the week   is met if the total sales is greater than or equal to $3,000.
  In cell L13, enter a logical function to determine if the sales goal for the   week was met. Return a value of Yes if the sales goal was met, or No if the sales goal   was not met. 

When Virginia started   gathering client data, she entered her clients’ names in all capital letters   and in column A. She has asked you to change the names of each client to   proper case.
 

  On the Clients worksheet, in cell B2, use a text function to change the text   in cell A2 to proper case. Copy the formula through cell B26. 

Virginia is   considering taking out a loan to purchase more products to rent to customers.   In order to purchase the products she needs, she has determined that she   needs to borrow $10,000. She would like you to help her determine her monthly   payment based on the loan amount, an interest rate of 5.5% with a repayment   of the loan after 5 years.
 

  On the LoanData worksheet, in cell B6, determine the monthly payment.
 In cell B6, edit the formula to return   an absolute value.

Virginia is curious   about her handbag line of rentals. She has asked you to create a combination   chart that shows the days rented and the total sales.
 

  Using cell ranges A5:A10, E5:E10, and I5:I10 on the RentalData worksheet,   create a combination chart with the Total Sales as the secondary axis. The   secondary axis should be a line chart.
  Move the chart to a new chart sheet named HandbagsChart
  Move the Chart Sheet to the last position (far right).
  Enter the chart title Handbag Rental
  Apply Chart Style 5.
  Add a primary vertical axis label Days Rented
  Add a secondary vertical axis label Total Sales

Assignment Content

1. All projects begin by answering one of two questions:
   • How can I make business scenario ABC better or more efficient?
   • What business scenario can I automate to benefit organization XYZ?
   • For this assignment, select a business scenario you would like to develop into a project over the next five weeks. You have two options:
   • You may select one of the two business scenarios described in Select a Business Scenario.
   • You may select a business scenario of your choosing. This can be a scenario from your workplace; for example, a frustrating process you have been eager to rework or a potential process you have been thinking of that does not exist yet but that you think would be valuable to your organization if it were developed into an IT project.
   • Note: If you decide to select a business scenario of your choosing, you must obtain approval from your instructor for your scenario before beginning the project proposal assignment, which is also due this week.

     Download Select a Business Scenario and read through the options.

     Type your selection (Scenario A, Scenario B, or Scenario C) directly into the Select a Business Scenario document (on the space provided next to each scenario). If you select Scenario C, you must include a scenario description as outlined in the document.

      

Create a discussion thread (with your name) and answer the following question(s):

Discussion 1 (Chapter 8):  What is the FUNCTION operation? For what is it used? And Present a practical example/ scenario.

Instructions:  Your response to the initial question should be 250-300 words.  Next respond to two postings provided by your classmates. The first post should be made by Wednesday 11:59 p.m., EST. I am looking for active engagement in the discussion.  Please engage early and often. You are require to create your initial thread in order to view and respond to the threads posted by other students.  There must be at least one APA formatted reference (and APA in-text citation) to support the thoughts in the post as needed.  Do not use direct quotes, rather rephrase the author’s words and continue to use in-text citations.

–Specifications–

When the app starts, it should display nine  elements, styled as above to appear as a 3-x-3 grid. Above the grid, an 

element should say that it’s X’s turn. When the user clicks a button, the page should post to the server, where the X or O for that button is saved. When the page re-loads, the clicked element should be marked X or O and should be disabled. In addition, clicking the browser’s Refresh button should redisplay the page, not post the previous click again. After each turn, the element above the grid should say whose turn it is. When there are three Xs or three Os in a line (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally), the game is over and the player with the three marks in a line wins. When this happens, the app should say who won and replace the 

element with a New Game link. When there are no more blank cells but there’s no winner, then the game ends in a tie. When this happens, the app should notify the user and replace the 

element with a New Game link. When the user clicks the New Game link, a new grid of 

elements should display. Above the grid, an 

element should say that it’s X’s turn.

According to the authors, privacy and security go hand in hand; and hence, privacy cannot be protected without implementing proper security controls and technologies. Today, organizations must make not only reasonable efforts to offer protection of privacy of data, but also must go much further as privacy breaches are damaging to its customers, reputation, and potentially could put the company out of business.  As we continue learning from our various professional areas of practice, its no doubt that breaches have become an increasing concern to many businesses and their future operations.    

Find an example of a security breach which compromised data records at a company in the same industry as you will be using in your final paper. Summarize the breach, discuss the data that was lost and identify security controls that you would recommend be in place (be certain to remember to cite sources) that could have prevented this breach from occurring. Remember to critical respond appropriately to two other leaners for full points.

Exp19 Word Ch02 ML1 Festival

Project Description:

In the following project, you will use Word to prepare a document promoting an upcoming festival. You will format the document, including bullets, styles, and line and paragraph spacing. In addition, you will add interest by including objects, such as pictures and WordArt.

Start Word. Download and open the file named Exp19_Word_Ch02_ML1_Festival.docx.   Grader has   automatically added your last name to the beginning of the filename. 

Change the document   theme to Organic. Format the first paragraph in the document, Mount Vernon Hot Air Balloon Festival,   as WordArt using the Fill: Black, Text color 1; Outline: White, Background   color 1; Hard Shadow: Orange, Accent color 5 (third row, second column)   style. Change the font size of the WordArt object to 24.

Change the wrapping   style of the WordArt object to Top and Bottom. Format the WordArt object with   Shape Style Subtle Effect – Teal, Accent 2. If necessary, visually   center the WordArt object on the first paragraph of the document.

Format the second   paragraph in the document, See the   Canyon From The Top!, as center   and bold with a font color of Teal, Accent 2.

Select the remaining   text on page 1, beginning with May   28-29, 2022 and ending with on the   festival grounds.

Insert a page break (not a section break) on   page 2 after the sentence ending with inflate   balloons on the festival grounds. 

No material for   public distribution should contain errors. You check for spelling and grammar   mistakes because it speaks to professionalism and influences how people see   the festival and those who run it.
  Check spelling and grammar—the word Ballumination   is not misspelled (for the purposes of this document). Correct any   spelling or grammar errors.

Right align the third   paragraph on page 1—May 28-29, 2022.   Format all columned text with a line spacing of 1.5 and paragraph spacing   after of 6 pt. Insert a column break to the left of the paragraph beginning with   And don’t forget the dogs!

Note:   alternatively, you can search for an image in a web browser, and then   download and insert a relevant image from the results.
  Select and delete any additional text boxes that may display when the image   is inserted. Change the height of the picture to 1”. Change the wrapping   style to Square and apply a picture style of Reflected Bevel, White. Position   the picture so that it is on the left side of the paragraph beginning with As for the kids, but still in the   right column.

Recolor the picture   with Teal, Accent color 2 Light. Apply the Paint Brush Artistic Effect. 

On page 3, format the   heading When is the best time to see   balloons? as bold with a font color of Teal, Accent 2. Create a new style   named Questions based on the formatting applied to the same   heading. Apply the Questions style to the other questions (headings) on page   3.

On page 4, apply   solid round bullets to the nine paragraphs on the page beginning with Although there is no perfect and   ending with for a show to begin.   Decrease the indent so the bullets begin at the left margin. Change the color   of the bullet symbols to Teal, Accent 2.
