6. Assign the Comma style format with no decimal places to the range B4:H17.
7. Complete the following entries:
a. 2004 Total Net Revenue (cell B4) = Units Sold in Year 2003 * (Unit Cost / (1 – Margin)) or =B20 *
(B21 / (1 – B24))
b. 2005 Total Net Revenue (cell C4) = 2004 Total Net Revenue * (1 + Annual Sales Growth) * (1 – Annual
Price Decrease) or =B4 * (1 + $B$22) * (1 – $B$23)
c. Copy cell C4 to the range D4:H4.

k. 2004 Rent (cell B10) = 1,800,000
l. 2005 Rent (cell C10) = 2004 Rent + 10% * 2004 Rent or =B10 * (1 + 10%)
m. Copy cell C10 to the range D10:H10.
n. 2004 Salaries (cell B11) = 22% * 2004 Total Net Revenue or =22% * B4

FIGURE 3-85
o. Copy cell B11 to the range C11:H11.
p. 2004 Supplies (cell B12) = 1.5% * 2004 Total Net Revenue or =1.5% * B4
q. Copy cell B12 to the range C12:H12.
r. 2004 Total Expenses (cell B13) = SUM(B8:B12)

11. Zoom to: (a) 200%; (b) 75%; (c) 25%; and (d) 100%.
Instructions Part 2: Open the workbook created in Part 1. Draw a 3-D Column chart (Figure 3-86) that
compares the projected net incomes for the years 2004 through 2010. Use the nonadjacent ranges B3:H3 and
B17:H17. Because the desired x-axis labels 2004 through 2010 in the range B3:H3 were entered as numbers in
Step 2 on page EX 212, do the following when the ChartWizard – Step 2 of 4 – Chart Source Data dialog box
appears: (1) click the Series tab; (2) remove Series 1 from the Series list if necessary; and (3) type =sheet1!b3:h3
in the Category (X) axis
labels box. Add the chart
title and format it as shown
in Figure 3-86. To change
the color of the columns,
right-click a column and

Instructions Part 3: Open the workbook created in Part 2. If the 3-D Column chart is on the screen, click
the Seven-Year Financial Projection tab to view the worksheet. Divide the window into two panes by dragging
the horizontal split box between rows 6 and 7. Use the scroll bars to show both the top and bottom of the
worksheet.
Using the numbers in columns 2 and 3 of Table 3-10, analyze the effect of changing the annual sales growth
(cell B22) and annual price decrease (cell B23) on the annual net incomes in row 17. The resulting answers are
in column 4 of Table 3-10. Print both the worksheet and chart for each case.

14. Divide the window into four panes and show the four corners of the worksheet. Remove the four panes.
15. Add white space to the worksheet by inserting blank rows between rows 6 and 7 and 15 and 16. Move the
range A19:B25 down three rows. Print the worksheet and then close the workbook without saving changes.
Instructions Part 2: Open the workbook created in Part 1. Draw a 3-D Pie chart (Figure 3-88 on the next
page) that shows the contribution of each category of indirect expense to the total indirect expenses. That is,
chart the nonadjacent ranges A8:A13 (category names) and J8:J13 (data series). Show labels that include

FIGURE 3-89
The major modifications requested by your supervisor include: (1) reformatting the worksheet; (2) adding
computations of time-and-a-half for hours worked greater than 40; (3) removing the conditional formatting
assigned to the range B4:B9; (4) adding calculations to charge no federal tax in certain situations; (5) adding
Social Security and Medicare deductions; (6) adding and deleting employees; and (7) changing employee
information.
Instructions Part 1: Open the workbook, Lab 2-1 Illiana Custom Homes Weekly Payroll Report, created in
Project 2 (Figure 2-88 on page EX 132). Perform the following tasks.
1. Delete rows 11 through 13. Change all the row heights back to the default height (12.75). Select the entire
sheet using the Select All button and then clear all remaining formats using the Formats command on the
Clear submenu of the Edit menu. Bold the entire worksheet. Enhance the worksheet title as shown in
Figure 3-89.

Insert two new columns between columns E and F. Enter the new column G title Soc. Sec. in cell G3.
Enter the new column H title Medicare in cell H3.
3. Change the column widths as follows: A = 25.00; B = 9.43; C = 7.00; D = 6.00; E = 13.14; F through
K = 9.71; and L = 8.43. Change the row heights as follows: row 1 = 41.25; rows 2 and 3 = 18.00.
4. Assign the NOW function to cell B2 and format it to the 3/14/2001 style.
5. Delete row 7 (Rifken, Felix). Change
Hadef Kaden’s (row 5) rate of pay to Table 3-13 Illiana Custom Homes Employee

mation in the range A13:B15. Use format symbols where applicable.
10. Change the formulas to determine the gross pay in column F and the federal tax in column I as follows:
a. In cell F4, enter an IF function that applies the following logic and then copy it to the range F5:F10.
If Hours <= 40, then Gross Pay = Rate * Hours, otherwise Gross Pay = Rate * Hours + 0.5 * Rate *
(Hours - 40)
b. In cell I4, enter the IF function that applies the following logic and then copy it to the range I5:I10.
If (Gross Pay – Dependents * 38.46) > 0, then Federal Tax = 20% * (Gross Pay – Dependents * 38.46),
otherwise Federal Tax = 0
11. An employee pays Social Security tax only if his or her YTD Soc. Sec. in column E is less than the
Maximum Social Security in cell B15. Use the following logic to determine the Social Security tax for
Hubert Jedi in cell G4 and then copy it to the range G5:G10.
If Social Security Tax * Gross Pay + YTD Soc. Sec. > Maximum Social Security, then Maximum Social
Security – YTD Soc. Sec., otherwise Social Security Tax * Gross Pay
Use absolute cell references for the Social Security Tax and Maximum Social Security values.
12. In cell H4, enter the following formula and then copy it to the range H5:H10:
Medicare = Medicare Tax * Gross Pay
Use absolute cell references for the Medicare Tax values.
13. In cell K4, enter the following formula and copy it to the range K5:K10:
Gross Pay – (Soc. Sec. + Medicare + Fed. Tax + State Tax)
14. In cell L4, enter the following formula and copy it to the range L5:L11:
(Soc. Sec. + Medicare + Fed. Tax + State Tax) / Gross Pay

18. Save the workbook using the file name Lab 3-3 Illiana Custom Homes Weekly Payroll Report.
19. Use the Zoom box on the Standard toolbar to change the view of the worksheet. One by one, select all the
percents in the Zoom list. When you are done, return the worksheet to 100% magnification.
20. Use the Page Setup command on the File menu to change the orientation to landscape. Preview the work-
sheet. If number signs appear in place of numbers in any columns, adjust the column widths. Print the
worksheet. Save the worksheet using the same file name.
