those contents need to be restocked. Jacinta wants you to make workbook containing
the weekly report for the Akron, Ohio, warehouse easier to read and understand.

change the fill color of the range A4:A7 to Brown, Accent 6 - 60% Lighter.

a. In the range G10:G391, calculate the value of each item in the warehouse
inventory by multiplying the item’s unit price by the quantity in stock.
b. In the range I10:I391, calculate the difference between the Quantity in Stock
values in column F and the Reorder at Quantity values in column H to determine
whether items have dropped below the automatic reorder level.
c. In cell B5, use the COUNT function to count the values in column F to calculate
the total number of items in the warehouse. Use the range reference F:F to
reference the entire column.
d. In cell B6, use the SUM function to sum the values in column G to calculate the
total inventory value.

the average days to reorder new items.

less than 1 in a light red fill and dark red text to make inventory items that must be
immediately reordered stand out.

separate pages.
