b) Explain the steps in the construction and use of a spreadsheet model. Problem 17 A software house requires that its project managers produce a simple cost and income statement for the projects for which they are responsible. Figure 1 show a draft income and cost statement for the CAET-IT project. The income row shows the expected receipts in the six months project, while the total cost row (row 27) is the total monthly cost of the project. Any surplus (Income minus costs) is summarized in an end month position (row 28) and this is carried forward to the next month.
All figures are entered as values except for. Rows with the word total in them

The row numbers and column letters have been included on the printout to help reference certain cells. They were not included on the original printout. Required a) Briefly describe three ways of improving the clarity and presentation of this spreadsheet. b) What is the likely formula of: i) ii) iii) iv) The cell at row 25 column D? The cell at row 27 column D? The cell at row 28 column D? The cell at row 4 column E?
c) The project manager is reminded that a government employment tax of 10% of the employees income payable to the Government and this has to be included in the costs of the project. In this project this amount to 1,020 per month (10% of row 15-total staff costs). The project manager wishes to know how to set up the spreadsheet so that the rate can be entered and the government employment tax calculated automatically. He/she would also like to be able to change this percentage so that he could see the likely effect of proposed changes in legislation which may raise this rate to 12% or even 15%. Required Explain how he/she would need to modify the spreadsheet to achieve this. Problem 18 The spreadsheet above (Figure 1) shows three stages in the construction of a simple sales forecasting model. Stage 1 of the spreadsheet shows the initial construction of the model. Required a) What is the likely formula of cell C12 (column Crow 12)? b) Describe how the presentation of the figures in column C could be improved?

[Umair Saeed]
The person developing this model suddenly realizes that he has forgotten to include direct sales from the Head Office. Stage 2 of the model shows how he has inserted a further row to represent Head Office sales. c) The total figure remains at 678.8 despite the addition of the Head Office row. Explain the likely reason for this. d) What advice could you give the constructor of the model to help ensure that he does not make the same mistake in the future? e) Describe how the presentation of the text in column B could be improved. In Stage 3 of the model, the values have been extended to cover the second and third years of the plan. This is implemented by using an annual growth percentage (in this example 5%) stored in cell C5. The constructor of the model has defined formulae in cells D7 (column D row 7) and E7 (column E row 7) and then copied these down to rows 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. What is the likely formula entered in the following cells? f) D7 (column D row 7). g) E7 (column E row 7). h) Both the formulae in D7 and E7 should contain a symbol usually associated with a currency. What is that symbol and describe its role in defining cell formulae. FIGURE 1

Problem 16 Solution a) There are many ways in which the spreadsheet could be improved, including [three of] the following. (i) Headings should be added to the columns and labels to the rows. An overall title would also be useful, if it is not clear from the title of the file itself or of this worksheet. (ii) A consistent Size and type pf font should be used. For instance the figures in cells A2 and C1 to C5 are in a different font size and type to the other figures. (iii) The figure should be given to a consistent number of decimal places. Some are stated to nil decimal places, others to one decimal place and others to two. If one figure has to be stated to two decimal places, then all of them should be. (iv) It may be easier to read the figure if they are presented in comma format. (v) The totals in cells A5 to C5 should be given top and bottom borders to make it clear that they are totals. (vi) The formula in cell A5 is badly constructed. A better approach would be to enter the figure in cell A4 as a negative number and use the formula =SUM (A1:A4) in cell A5. This avoids the need to type in all the cell references individually and minimizes the risk of entering the wrong sign (s) in the formula. (vii) The totals in cells B5 and C5 are simply the sum of the four figures above them. In other words, unlike in column A, the figures in row 4 are not treated as negative. This may be what was intended, but there is some doubt because the approach is not consistent. b) A spreadsheet model should be built as follows. (i) All the variables in the problem should be identified and entered in separate cells in one part of the spreadsheet with clear labels. This is the input area. (ii) In a different part of the spreadsheet, the formulae that act upon the variables should be entered. This is the calculation area. It may also be necessary to use function such as IF functions. (iii) The result of the calculations may be displayed in a third output section of the spreadsheet. In less complicated cases, this may be combined with the calculation area.

Once built in this way, the model could be used to carry out what if analysis. The values of the input variables could be altered as appropriate and the impact of such changes could be instantly evaluated. Problem 17 Solution a) The presentation and clarity of this spreadsheet could be improved in many ways. (i) Titles and labels Numerous improvements could be made to titles and labels. 1) The words Figure 1 in cell A1 are not relevant to the spreadsheet and should be deleted. 2) It would be helpful to make the main heading of the spreadsheet (Draft IT Project) more prominent, perhaps by using a larger font. 3) There may be a good reason to specify that the unit is sterling (for instance to distinguish sterling from Irish pounds). If not, however, the word sterling is not really necessary. 4) The conventional way to present column headings would be as follows. Month 1 Month 2 Month 3 Month 4 Month 5 Month 6
These headings should appear the first set of numbers (in cells D3 to ) above the second set as at present. 5) The sub-analysis of staff costs has a heading Staff costs but the sub-analysis of Other costs does not. Headings should be used consistently. 6) The total for staff costs is called merely Total but the total for other costs is called Total other costs. This is inconsistent. 7) The label Other costs is used twice, once as a category for a variety of costs (insurance, telephone, etc) and once as a specific cost A label such as Sundry costs would be preferable for the specific cost.

(ii) Formatting 1) The text Opening Position in cell A4 should be left-aligned. At present the final n is not showing. 2) The use of bold or italic or ordinary typeface for similar levels of heading or label is inconsistent For instance, Income is as important a heading as Total other costs, but one is italic and the other is bold. As another example, Costs is a less important heading than Total costs, but Costs is bold while Total costs (row 27) is in ordinary typeface. (iii) Number formatting 1) There is some inconsistency in the number of decimal places shown. Most figures are shown to two decimal places, but the figure 0 in cell D4 and the figures in row 17 are shown to nil decimal places. Figures expresses to the nearest pound would be detailed enough for this cost and income statement, so all figures should be displayed with no decimal places. (iv) Layout 1) Ideally, the four most important figures (Opening Position, Income, Total Costs and End Month Position), should be shown in one block and the more detailed analysis of costs should be shown separately beneath. 2) Column A could be widened to accommodate all the labels. Column B and C are not being used and could be detailed. b) (i) D25 formula: =SUM (D17:D24), (ii) D27 formula: =D15+D25, (iii) D28 formula : =D4+D5-D27, (iv) E4 formula : =D28 c) A row should be inserted above row 15 and labeled Employment Tax. In an area outside the main body of the spreadsheet (say, A40 to B40) there should be inserted the label Employment Tax rate (A40) and the rate of 10% (B40). In the new empty row 15, cell D15 should have the formula: SUM (D9:D14)*$B$40 This can then be copied across from columns E to l. The formula currently in cell D15 should be checked to make sure that it sums D9 to D15.

If the rate of tax changes then all that needs to be changed is the figure in cell B40. Problem 18 Solution a) The likely formula for cell C12 is = SUM (C7:C11), that is the sum of cells C7 to C11 inclusive. b) The presentation of figure in column C could be improved by: (i) Showing all figures with the same number of decimal places so they are aligned in the same way and can be read easily. (ii) Pricing lines at the top and bottom of cell C12 to show that it contains a total, and including the word Total in cell B12. (iii) Emboldening the year in cell C5 to show that this is the heading for the column. c) The cell addition remains at 678.8 because the new Head Office cell has not been included in the total. The developer inserted a row in the Stage 1 spreadsheet by selecting row 12 and then inserting a new row, however, this action did not affect the formula in cell C12. in the Stage 2 spreadsheet, the formula in cell C13 is still = SUM (C7:C11), missing out the new row 12. d) Advice to the constructor of the model to avoid making the same mistake: (i) Plan the model first to ensure that all department of the company are included prior to writing the spreadsheet. (ii) If a new row has to be inserted into a spreadsheet, check all formulae below the new row and amend as necessary. (iii) Insert new rows towards the middle of a range of cells, (such as at C9), the spreadsheet will automatically amend the totals to take account of the new rows. (iv) Use Excel which recognizes this error and amends the formula in cell C13 as you type a new number in C12. e) The presentation of the text in column B could be improved by: (i) Expanding the column width to show all the text; part of the word Office is currently hidden behind column C.

(ii)
Placing the cell content in alphabetical, or other logical order (e.g. North to South), to make them easier to digest. Formatting the text in column A that overflow into column B (e.g. using emboldening or italics), to distinguish the row headings from the data. Including the word Total in cell B13.
(iii)
(iv)
f) The formula for cell D7 is likely to be = C7+ (C7*$C$5) to give C7 plus 5% or be amount in this cell as the next total. g) The formula for cell E7 is likely to be =D7+ (D7*$C$5) keeping the same absolute cell reference to the percentage cell C5. h) In spreadsheet, the dollar symbol ($) is sometimes used within formulae. Placing the $ sign in front of a cell reference makes that reference absolute. If the contents of the cell are copied to another cell, in the new formula a reference to the original cell will be given, rather than the relative reference to another cell. In the spreadsheet example, it $ signs were not placed around cell C5 in the formula in C7, the new formula in D7 would have been =C7+ (C7*D5). In this situation, the 5% increase would not have been applied to year 2 cells because cell D5 is empty. Problem 19 Solution a) Facilities of word processors Editing facilities Word processors allow the text in a document to be amended, or edited, without having to re-type the whole documents again. For example, individual words or facility sentences can be deleted; individual words replaced or new words and sentences added. Blocks of text can also be moved or duplicated within the documents. Editing facilities make documents production efficient because, as noted above, existing documents can be amended rather than retyped. Quality documents will be produced because amendments can be made to improve the sense and English language within the documents making it more presentable and understandable for the recipient.

Spell and grammar checking A spell-check checks the words in a document against an electronic dictionary and brings potentially words to the attention of the user. Similarly, a grammar check brings examples of poor grammar attention of the user. The user can then decide whether to amend the spelling or grammar in a document before it is send to the intended recipient. The provision of spell and grammar checking makes documents production efficient because the computer can check documents much faster than any human proof-reader. Quality documents will be produced because the documents should be free of spelling errors and poor grammar. Some care is needed using these electronic tools, especially because most spell checkers cannot yet distinguish a correctly spelt word that is in the wrong place. For example, the computer would not identify the word scent as being wrong in the sentence I scent the report to the director. Mail merge In many situations, a similar or standard letter has to be sent to many individuals. Rather than send a letter addressed to dear Sir or Madam the mail merge facility can be used to make the letters more personal. Names and addressed can be stored, in a database, and then this database merged with a standard letter to produce individual letters addressed to Dear Jim and Dear Mary. The provision of mail merge makes documents production efficient because the computer can produce the personalized documents much quicker than typing the names individually onto the standard letter. Quality documents will be produced because customers, for example, receive personal letters rather than a standard letter. A customer is more likely to read a letter addressed specifically to them so the reputation of the company is enhanced and hopefully more sales will be made. b) Spreadsheets Relative and absolute cell references One of the man functions of spreadsheets is to allow formulae to be written into cells that use the contents of other specific cells in those formulas. The normal method of referencing between cells is to use a relative reference. This means that the formula refers to a specific cell, which could be two cells left, and one cell up from the current cell. So cell D3 would have a reference to cell B2 (two columns left and one row up). If that formula is copied to another cell, then the same relative reference is used to determine which cell is to be used in the new formula. So copying the formula to cell E6 will mean that the cell C5 is used in the formula.
October 23, 2001
[Umair Saeed]
In some formulae, one specific cell has to be referred to, so even if the formula is copied, the same absolute cell reference is needed in the new formula. This happens, for example, where one cell contains a wage rate which is to be used for the calculation of many employees wages. If this absolute reference is required, then $ are placed before the cell row and column reference. In the example above, if the formula were copied fromD3 to E6, the formula in both cells would refer to the cell $B2$. The Round (@ ROUND) command The ROUND command, when applied to a cell, round the numeric value in that cell up or down to the nearest integer. So 1.4 is rounded down to 1, but 1.6 is rounded up to 2. (1.5 is normally rounded up to 2 as well). The main reason for using the ROUND command is to avoid rounding errors in spreadsheets. For example, if the numbers 1.4 and 1.4 are in separate cells, and then added together and the result displayed in another cell, and the result is displayed with no decimals, then the calculation will be 1+1 = 3. However, if the 1.4 cells are rounded, then the calculation becomes 1+1 = 2. The ROUND function therefore changes the actual contents of the cell, avoiding the rounding errors. However, the accuracy of the spreadsheet may be affected, as the true whole number is not being used in the formula. Macros In many spreadsheets, some sequences of commands, such as specifying a print range or formatting a selection of cells, have to be repeated many times. Rather than duplicate all the commands, a macro can be used to store all the commands and repeat them at a specific time or for a specific range of cells. Using the macro saves the time of entering all the commands and avoids the possibility of making a mistake if the sequence of commands is lengthy or difficult to remember. Macros are recorded using the macro recorder in the spreadsheet. They are normally run by attaching the macro record itself to a push button icon. Clicking on the icon then runs the macro. Database Filters Spreadsheets can contain large amounts of data. The data will be arranged in columns with the column heading what each data field is. For example, a spreadsheet may contain customer details with column headings including customer name, reference number, city etc. Rather than display all customers, it is sometimes useful to see only those customers who are located in a specific area. To do this, the spreadsheet range can be specified as a database and
October 23, 2001

then filtered to display only specific records. In this example, the city column will be filtered to display the spreadsheet rows relating to a specific city. The method of filtering a spreadsheet varies according to the manufacturer, and version number of the spreadsheet. Some spreadsheets provide drop down lists in each column heading to choose the appropriate filter. Other spreadsheets require a criteria range to be set-up and the filters are defined within this range. Problem 20 Solution a) The presentation format of the spreadsheet can be improved as suggested below. Firstly, by providing consistent formatting to some of the columns. For example, the average column currently displays averages with zero, one or two decimal points. This formatting makes the averages difficult to read, and important figures such as the average of 50 in cell G12 may be missed because it looks smaller than other figures, simply because it has no decimal places. All the values should be aligned with the same number of decimal places. Secondly, by conforming to standard text and number alignment in the cells. For example, the marker name cells in the range D6 to D25 are right-aligned, making them quit difficult to read. In western cultures at least, words are read from left to right, so it is normal to use left-alignment 1*1 cells so they can be read easily. Conversely, numbers are normally right-aligned so larger numbers, units or decimals all appear in the same position in the cell. Columns D and G are rightaligned, but columns E and F are centre aligned. Providing consistent rightalignment would identify these cells as containing numbers as well as making comparison between the columns easier. b) Cell F6 shows the difference between the highest and lowest figures in cells D6 and E6. The formula is likely to be: =D6-E6 c) Cell C28 displays the number 20 representing the 20 names of markers in cells C6 to C25. So the formula needs to add up those cells with text in them. The formula is likely to be: = COUNTA (C6:C25). d) Cell C29 finds the highest mark from the individual highest marks of each mark contained in cells D6 to D25. The formula is likely to be: = MAX (D6:D25). e) Cell C30 finds the lower mark in the examination from the individual lowest recorded by each marker in cells D6 to D25. The formula is likely to be: = MIN (D6:D25).

f) There are various ways of showing only markers whose average mark is greater than 45. One option is to sort the spreadsheet in descending order of mark (see part g) and then to hide all rows where the mark is 45 or less. (i) Rows can be hidden in Lotus 1-2-3 using the Range I Range Properties I Hide Row option. (ii) Rows can be hidden in Excel using the Format I Row I Hide command. All the markers with an average greater than 45 will then be in one place, facilities further analysis or printing. Marker details in these rows can also be copied onto a separate sheet if required to ensure that they are separate from markers with an average of 45 or below. An alternative is to filter the rows so only markers with an average of more than 45 are visible. To be this, the active cell is placed within the list and the command Data I filter I Auto filter in Excel. The Custom Auto Filter of is greater than 45 can then be applied to column G; only those rows with an average mark of more than 45 will then be displayed. Arranging marker information in descending order of average mark will mean selecting the data area range B6 and G25 and sorting it. This leaves the column titles in rows 2 and 4 unchanged; selecting the whole spreadsheet would include these rows in the sort, which is not required. To son the rows in Microsoft Excel, the examiner needs to carry out the following steps. Select the range B6 to G25 Choose the menu Data I Sort Choose Column G in the Sort by list Select the Descending order radio button Click OK
