Exp19 Excel Ch01 ML1 Rentals

Excel Chapter 1 Mid-Level 1 – Rentals 

Project Description:

You manage a beach guest house in Ft. Lauderdale containing three types of rental units. Prices are based on peak and off-peak times of the year. You need to calculate the maximum daily revenue for each rental type, assuming all units are rented. In addition, you need to calculate the discount rate for off-peak rental times. Finally, you will improve the appearance of the worksheet by applying font, alignment, and number formats.

Start Excel. Download and open the file named Exp19_Excel_Ch01_ML1_Rentals.xlsx. Grader has automatically   added your last name to the beginning of the filename.

You want to format   the main title to have a consistent appearance to other documents and   spreadsheets.
 
  Apply the Heading 1 cell style to the range A1:G1.
 

  Hint: Cell Styles is on the Home tab.

You want to apply a   similar, complementary style to the date, which is below the main title.
 

  Apply the 20% – Accent1 cell style to the range A2:G2.

The Peak Rentals   heading is centered over the related data in columns C and D. You want the   Off-Peak Rentals heading to be centered over its related data.
 

  Merge and center Off-Peak Rentals   in the range E4:G4.
 

  Hint: Merge and Center is on the Home tab.

To help other people   know that the Off-Peak Rentals heading is related to three columns of data,   you want to apply a fill color to that heading. You will choose a different   color to distinguish these data columns from the fill color used for the Peak   Rentals heading.
 

  Apply Blue fill color (the eighth color below Standard Colors) and White,   Background 1 font color to cell E4.
 

  Hint: Fill Color and Font Color are on the Home tab.

Three headings   (Maximum Revenue, Maximum Revenue, and Discount Rate) do not fully display on   the fifth row. Instead of widening the columns, you want to wrap the headings   within their respective cells. This will enable you to maintain the column   width appropriate for the data below the headings.
 

  Center and wrap the headings on row 5.
 

  Hint: Use the Home tab.

You are ready to   calculate the Peak Rentals Maximum Revenue that can be earned. The maximum   revenue is the total revenue if all rental units are rented.
 

  In cell D6, enter a formula that calculates the Peak Rentals Maximum Revenue.
 

  Hint: Formula is: No. of Units*Daily Rate

The Discount Rate is   the percentage off of the Peak Rentals Per Day Rate used to calculate the   Off-Peak Rentals Per Day rate. The Studio Apartment rents for $120 Off-Peak,   which is 80% of the $149.95 Peak rate. Therefore, the Discount Rate for the   Off-Peak Per Day rate is 20%.
 

  In cell G6, enter a formula that calculates the Discount Rate for the   Off-Peak rental price per day.
 

  Hint: Formula is: 1-(Off-Peak Rentals Daily Rate/Peak Rentals Daily Rate)

You created formulas   for the Peak Rentals Maximum Revenue and the Discount Rate for the Off-Peak   Rentals for the Studio Apartment rental type. Now you want to copy the   formulas to the remaining rental types so that you don’t have to create formulas   again.
 

  Copy the formula in cell D6 to cells D7:D8. Copy the formula in cell G6 to   cells G7:G8.
 

  Hint: Use the fill handle.

The values in the   columns are hard to read with varying number of decimal points. The   Accounting Number Format will align the decimal points and display dollar   signs to improve the appearance of the monetary values.
 

  Format the range C6:F8 with Accounting Number Format.
 

  Hint: Accounting Number Format is on the Home tab.

The Discount Rate   formula results are displayed as decimal points. However, formatting the   values as percentages will align decimal points and clearly indicate the   percentages.
 

  Format the range G6:G8 in Percent Style with one decimal place.
 

  Hint: Look in the Number group on the Home tab.

You applied a solid   blue to the Off-Peak Rentals heading, so you will apply a complementary   lighter blue fill color to the data below that heading.
 

  Apply Blue, Accent 1, Lighter 80% fill color to the range E5:G8.
 

  Hint: The Fill Color palette contains an option for selecting more colors to   customize.

A solid red fill is   applied to the Peak Rentals heading. You will select a complementary custom   fill color for the data below that heading.
 

  Select the range C5:D8 and apply a custom fill color with Red 242, Green 220,   and Blue 219.
 

  Note, Mac users, in the Colors dialog box, click the Color Sliders tab and   then select the RGB Sliders.
  Hint: On the Home tab, in the Font group, click Fill Color, and then click More   Colors.

Answer the first   question below the worksheet data. Apply Yellow highlight color to the   correct answer in either cell A16, A17, or A18.

Answer the second   question below the worksheet data. Apply Yellow highlight color to the   correct answer in either cell A22, A23, or A24.

Answer the third   question below the worksheet data. Change XX.X%   to the correct percentage in cell A28.

Now that the   worksheet contains formulas and is formatted, you are ready to apply Page   Setup options to prepare the worksheet to be printed, if needed.
 

  Select Landscape orientation, center the data horizontally on the page, and   apply the setting to fit to one page.
 

  Hint: The Page Layout tab contains options needed.

It is important to   provide identification information in a footer of the worksheets. In   particular, the textbook series name, the worksheet name, and the file name   help identify the worksheet.
 

  Insert a footer with the text Exploring Series on the left side, the sheet   name code in the center, and the file name code on the right side.
 

  Hint: Use the Insert tab or the Page Layout tab to insert a footer.

To preserve the   original data, you make a copy a worksheet so that you can manipulate the   data or if you want to review the formulas.
 

  Create a copy of the Rental Rates worksheet, place the new sheet to the right   side of the original worksheet, and rename the new sheet as Formulas.
 

  Hint: Display a shortcut menu from the sheet tab.
 

You want to display   the formulas and set print options so that it will be easier to read and   interpret the rental formulas on a printout, if needed.
 

  On the Formulas worksheet, display cell formulas, and set options to print   gridlines and headings.
 

  Hint: Use the Formulas tab on the ribbon.

Save and close Exp19_Excel_Ch01_ML1_Rentals.xlsx.   Exit Excel. Submit the file as directed.

GEL-1.02: Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard English.

PC-2.1: Achieve goals through planning and prioritization.

Assignment Instructions:

Based on the knowledge you have achieved thus far in this course or in your degree program, compose a minimum 3-page, double-spaced expository paper describing how you are able to achieve your goals through planning and prioritization. The paper must include a title page and follow APA formatting guidelines.

Scenario 1: You Have a Plan

List the goals and objectives you had coming into the course/degree program. Did you have a priority for those goals? Were you able to create a plan for completing those goals? Discuss if you have been able to follow that plan and how it has helped with meeting your prioritized objectives.

You might consider some or all of the following:

• Content: Where are you weak/strong? Do you place different emphasis on some content areas over others?
• Risks of non-completion: What are the costs of non-completion (monetary and other)? What factors might prevent or hinder your expected performance in the course? Can you plan to avoid or mitigate these risks?
• Schedule: Do you set aside periods of time to complete coursework? How detailed is your schedule?
• Material: Is it adequate for your needs? What other sources of content would you identify to help?
• Explicit versus implicit planning: Everyone plans, even if they do not necessarily realize it. What differences do you experience when you make the plan explicit (like in this exercise)?
• How do you prioritize goals and time? Are you trying to get an A or just pass? Is the grade or the knowledge more valuable to you? Alternatively, are they equally important?
• What other strategies might you explore? Being more collaborative (as in a study group)? The possibility of finding a tutor or mentor?
• What do you do if you are struggling or falling behind? Would it pay to think of these possibilities in advance and have a plan in mind in case it happens?
• If time gets tight, what areas could you lighten up on?
• Achieving excellence: Are there particular areas where you would like to develop your skills or knowledge to a higher level than you have previously or currently attained?

Scenario 2: You Do Not Have a Plan:

If none of the above seem to apply to your experience with the course/degree so far, examine the final 5 weeks of this course and complete a plan using the above exercise as a guide.

Based on the knowledge you have achieved thus far in this class, compose a minimum 3-page, double-spaced paper describing how you are able to achieve your goals for this course through planning and prioritization. List the goals and objectives you had coming into the course. Reflect on whether you have a priority for those goals. Were you able to create a plan for completing those goals? Describe what you have learned and how you will use this knowledge with any other class. Lastly, discuss how you will use this knowledge in your present or future career or your personal life. Your paper needs to include a title page and follow APA formatting guidelines.

In the final page of your paper, include 2–3 paragraphs describing how this kind of planning approach relates to people working in the area of networking and computing infrastructure. Discuss the importance of the goals you have, whether they are specific or general in nature, what priority you have placed on each, and how they fit into your plan for the future.

Assignment Requirements:

• Expository paper.
• Standard APA formatting.
• Includes a title page.
• Font size of 10 or 12.
• At least 3 full double-spaced pages in length, not counting the title page.
• Includes a highly developed viewpoint, purpose, and exceptional content.
• Demonstrates superior organization, and is well ordered, logical, and unified.
• Free of grammar and spelling errors.
• No evidence of plagiarism.

Written work should be free of spelling, grammar, and APA errors. Points deducted from the grade for each writing, spelling, or grammar error are at your instructor’s discretion.

In addition to your post, please read your peer’s threads and make at least ONE substantial comment on their discussion post (2-4 sentences).

The article Connecting the Dots to Gain Competitive Advantage: Articulating a Technology Ecosystem Advantage to Your Boardtalks about how CIOs are no longer just the “tech guys” that fix the computers and decide how programs will be used. It says that the world of the CIO is now very complex, and the responsibilities for the CIO are also more complex because technology is now needed for nearly everything, compared to, for example, 10 years ago. Because of that, the “decision making” of the CIO continues to grow, and the biggest question to ask is whether all the needs of a technological ecosystem can be met in every single one of its dependencies. As dependencies, they need to work together. The job of the CIO is to make a good game plan on how to implement a system that consistently ensures that all the available technology options are ready to go to contribute to the vision of the organization: This is the Strategic Technology Map.

Module 06 Content

1. For this assignment, you will be researching potential career roles in the healthcare revenue cycle field, which your health information education prepares you for.

   To complete this assignment, do the following:

   1. Research positions in the revenue cycle using your course readings, the AHIMA Career Map (https://my.ahima.org/careermap), or other resources you may find on the Internet. From this research, select three different positions that interest you. Identify the job title and provide a brief overview of the responsibilities and which component of the revenue cycle you think this position belongs in.
   2. Select one revenue cycle position from a career job site where open positions are listed, such as Indeed.com, Simply Hired, or AHIMA Career Assist (http://ahima.org). (On the AHIMA home page, click Career & Student Center, and then click Career Assist: Job Bank).
   3. Prepare a short narrative describing the one position you selected in #2 above. The narrative summary of your research should include the following:
   • Job title
   • Overview of the role and responsibilities
   • Job requirements: education, experience, certifications, and other skills
   • Whether this is a remote work opportunity or requires travel or relocation
   • Salary range, if available
   • Number of direct reports, if applicable
   • Site(s) responsibility
   • Type of organization (for example, acute care, vendor or contract service, ambulatory care, physician clinic, academic institution)
   • In your narrative, comment on why you chose this position, what you found interesting about the role, and how and where it fits in the revenue cycle. 
   • Include an APA-formatted References page of all the sources you accessed and used in your narrative, including job search sites. Be sure to cite all sources within your narrative.

Use the copy-and-paste method to give an average-case analysis for the sort function in sort.cpp.

• Assume that, for an input array of nn elements, on average n−−√n elements will be out of order.
• Assume that the out-of-order elements have values that are uniformly randomly selected between the smallest and largest values of the properly-ordered members of the array. In other words, an out-of-order element is equally likely to belong to any position in the array.
• Show all work!
• Remember that you are doing average case analysis.
  If, at some point, you don’t ask how the average case behavior differs from the worst case behavior, you’re doing it wrong!

Please fill out chart in excel attached and add comments next to the lines in the cpp file
