ANALYSING A SPREADSHEET AND PRESENTING A BUSINESS REPORT
Due Date: Sunday September 10, 11:59 pm – 2017
(20% of Final Grade)
Case Study
Porpoise Swim School is a
‘learn to swim’ centre located in
the Northern suburbs of
Melbourne. Regina Sharky
owns the swim centre. Regina
teaches a number of the swim
classes herself and enjoys this
aspect of her work. She also
handles bookings, accounts and
organises the swim teaching
roster for the six long-term
casual teaching staff she
employs (pay rates have been
determined by both age and
qualifications). She also
employs a receptionist who
works on an hourly rate whenever classes are being held.
The swim school offers a range of swim programs for infants and children. Classes are
booked for the entire term. The cost per term is dependent on the number of weeks in the
Victorian school term. Parents are requested to pay fees in advance. If fees are paid in full
before term begins customers receive a discount.
Earlier in the year, Regina was becoming increasingly concerned that her business was
behind budget. In an effort to improve profitability she conducted research into the type of
classes offered by successful swim schools in other areas. Based on this research she has
introduced two new class types into the term three schedule. (Penguin and Dolphin) She has
also introduced a number of Saturday morning classes and has recently employed a new
experienced swim teacher, Rachael Potter. Although Rachael is paid a higher rate she is
more qualified and has greater experience than other staff. Regina is hoping that these
measures have encouraged new customers to her swim school and will improve the
profitability of her business.
Regina has set up a spreadsheet. She has asked you to complete any relevant calculations and
to use excel ‘tools’ to analyse the data she has given you. She then requires you to provide a
business report with regards to the effectiveness of these measures and suggestions regarding
how she should structure the timetable in term four. She realises there are other factors that
may impact the results of the data. At least two additional factors should be considered and
discussed before you make your recommendations.
A spreadsheet has been provided for you containing the data for term three enrolments.
