QUESTION
1. The Car Payment
You see an ad for a used car that you would like to buy. The ad says that the dealer will give
anyone a $500 trade in on his or her old vehicle. The asking price for the car (before trade-in) is
$4,000. They will offer you a 4% interest rate for a 3-year loan. What is the amount you need to
finance? Use the PMT function to determine what your monthly payments will be. Copy the
work, and then use the Goal Seek tool to determine what the asking price of the car, before trade-
in, would have to be to make a monthly payment of $70. Show both scenarios in your worksheet.
2. The CS110 Grade Book

QUESTION
Create the following Table in Excel;
RollNo Name Math English Science Total Result Division
Note: Pass Marks Should be 50 and total, result should be computed using formula.
Those who failed won’t have division and compute the division of rest using formula in
next sheet (next sheet should contain only Rollno and Division while the first sheet will
contain columns as given above except Division). Also validate marks – should not
contain more than 100 or less than 0. If so persist warning information.
Solution:
Well, the question asks us to create two sheets – the first with RollNo, Name, Math, English, Science, Total and Result and the second
sheet with RollNo and Division.
Enter the headings as asked in sheet1 and sheet2.
Enter formula to calculate Total (F2) on Sheet1:
= C2 + D2 + E2
Enter Formula to calculate Result (G2) on Sheet1:
= IF (OR(C2<50, D2<50, E2<50), “Fail”, “Pass”)
[ If any of the marks is less than 50, the Result is Fail, otherwise, Pass]
Alternately, you can use any of the following formula to calculate Result.
= IF ( AND( C2>=50, D2>=50, E2>=50), “Pass”, “Fail” )
[ If all of the marks is greater than or equal to 50, Result is Pass otherwise, Fail ]
= IF ( MIN (C2:E2)<50, “Fail”, “Pass” )
[ If the minimum marks is less than 50, Result is Fail, otherwise, Pass ]
Go to the Sheet 2 and on A2 enter formula =Sheet1!A2 and hit Enter. This will produce on A2 of Sheet2 whatever it was on A2 of
Sheet1. Drag the fill handle down to fill the same formula to all the rows existing in Sheet1.
On B2 of Sheet2 enter formula to calculate Division:
=IF( Sheet1!G2 = “Fail”, “*”, IF ( Sheet1!F2 / 3 >= 75, “First Division”, IF ( Sheet1!F2/3 >= 60, “Second Division”, “Third Division”

QUESTION
Part 1
Type the passage below, font size 12 point, exclude the border, & save it as virus [10
marks]
Protect Yourself: Computer Viruses
Viruses, Trojan horses & worms are human-made software programs created specifically to
wreak havoc on personal computers and networks. The chance of contracting one of these
computer viruses over the Internet has increased dramatically. In fact, unless you run anti-virus
software, your computer will almost certainly become infected. Typically, you get a virus by
opening infected e-mail attachments.
Some viruses are relatively harmless to individuals. They just attach themselves to outgoing
messages or e-mail themselves to all the contacts listed in your address book. The sudden flood of
e-mail overwhelms mail servers, causing the system to crash.
Other viruses are more destructive and may lie dormant until a certain date. Then they spring to
life to do their dirty deeds. Sometimes a strange message appears on your screen, or data and
programs may be modified. In the worst case, all the files on your hard drive may be wiped out.
These pernicious programs start on one computer, then replicate quickly, infecting other
computers around the world.
In 1988 a student at Cornell University sent out a virus out by accident, infecting more than 6,000
computers in minutes, nearly bringing the Internet to its knees. More recently, the "I Love You"
virus caused over $1 billion in lost productivity as it crippled e-mail systems worldwide. Last
year alone, 10,000 new viruses, Trojan horses and worms were unleashed.

QUESTION
Type the passage below as it is. Use font size 12. [8 marks]
what is a Browser?
A browser is a computer program that resides on your computer enabling you to use the computer to view
WWW documents and access the Internet taking advantage of text formatting, hypertext links, images,
sounds, motion, blogs, and other features. Firefox and Internet Explorer are currently the leading "graphical
browsers" in the world (meaning they facilitate the viewing of graphics such as images and video and
more). There are other browsers (e.g., Mozilla, Safari, Opera). Most offer many of the same features and
can be successfully used to retrieve documents and activate many kinds of programs.
Browsers all rely on "plug-ins" to handle the fancier files you find on the Web. Plug-ins are sub-programs
stored within a browser or elsewhere in your computer especially to support special types of files you may
click on. If you click on a link, and your computer does not currently have the plug-in needed for the file
you clicked on, you are usually prompted with an opportunity to get the plug-in. Most plug-ins are free, and
easy and safe to install on your computer; follow the instructions you are given.
The main way in which browsers differ is in the convenience features they offer for navigating and
managing the Web and all the URLs you may want to keep track of. Netscape and Internet Explorer both
offer the ability to e-mail documents, download them to diskette, print them, and keep track of where
you've been and sites you want to "bookmark" or "Add to Favorites" (Microsoft's name bookmarks).
a) Save the document as browser. [2 marks]
b) Change the case of the main heading to Title Case, Font size 16, double underline & center it.
[4 marks]
c) Put a border right round the passage & not the page. [4 marks]

e) Change the font type of paragraph 2 to Bookman Old Style, font size 14. [2 marks]
f) Divide the passage into 2 columns with a line between. [3 marks]
g) Drop cap all the paragraphs in your document excluding the headings. [3 marks]
h) Change the line spacing of the entire document to 1.5 lines. [2 marks]
i) Save the document as browser2.

QUESTION
TYPE THE PASSAGE below, font size 14 point, & save it as Internet [5 marks]
What is the Internet?
The Internet is a network of networks, linking computers to computers sharing the TCP/IP
protocols. Each runs software to provide or "serve" information and/or to access and view
information.
The Internet is the transport vehicle for the information stored in files or documents on another
computer. It can be compared to an international communications utility servicing computers. It
is sometimes compared to a giant international plumbing system. The Internet itself does not
contain information. It is a slight misstatement to say a "document was found on the Internet." It
would be more correct to say it was found through or using the Internet. What it was found in (or
on) is one of the computers linked to the Internet.
Part 2

QUESTION
PART 1
Type the passage below, font size 10 point, & save it WWW [10 marks]
What is the World Wide Web and what makes it work?
The WWW incorporates all of the Internet services above and much more. You can retrieve documents,
view images, animation, and video, listen to sound files, speak and hear voice, and view programs that run
on practically any software in the world, providing your computer has the hardware and software to do
these things.
When you log onto the Internet using a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Fire fox, Mozilla, Netscape,
Opera, Safari), you are viewing documents on the World Wide Web. The basic foundation on which the
WWW function is the programming language called HTML. It is HTML and other programming imbedded
within HTML that make possible hypertext. Hypertext is the ability to have web pages containing links,
which are areas in a page or buttons or graphics on which you can click your mouse button to retrieve
another document into your computer. This "click ability" using Hypertext links is the feature, which is
unique and revolutionary about the Web.
How do hypertext links work?
Every document or file or site or movie or sound file or anything you find on the Web has a unique URL
(uniform resource locator) that identifies what computer the thing is on, where it is within that computer,
and its specific file name. (More explanation on the structure of URLs.) Every Hypertext link on every web
page in the world contains one of the URLs. When you click on a link of any kind on a Web page, you send
a request to retrieve the unique document on some computer in the world that is uniquely identified by that
URL. URLs are like addresses of web pages. A whole cluster of internationally accepted standards (such as
TCP/IP and HTML) make possible this global information retrieval phenomenon that transcends all
political and language boundaries.

e) Justify the 3rd
paragraph excluding the heading. [2 marks]

g) Insert a Header written, World Wide Web,align it to the right. [3 marks].
h) Split the passage, excluding the heading, into two columns (with a line between the
columns) [4 marks].
i) Insert footer with your name, subject & course. [1 mark]
j) Insert a page number at the top left of the page [1 mark]
k) Engrave the last 5 lines of the last paragraph (paragraph3). [5 marks]
l) Save your document as www2 & produce a print out.

QUESTION
PART 1
Type the passage below, font size 12 point, & save it as Cards [10 marks]
COMPUTER CARDS
Cards are components added to computers to increase their capability. When adding a peripheral
device makes sure that your computer has a slot of the type needed by the device.
Sound cards
Allow computers to produce sound like music and voice. The older sound cards were 8 bit then
16 bit then 32 bit. Though human ear can't distinguish the fine difference between sounds
produced by the more powerful sound card they allow for more complex music and music
production.
Colour cards
Allow computers to produce colour (with a colour monitor of course). The first colour cards were
2 bits, which produced 4 colours [CGA]. It was amazing what could be done with those 4 colours.
Next came 4 bit allowing for 16 [EGA and VGA] colours Then came 16 bit allowing for 1064
colours and then 24 bit which allows for almost 17 million colours and now 32 bit is standard
allowing monitors to display almost a billion separate colours.
Video cards
Allow computers to display video and animation. Some video cards allow computers to display
television as well as capture frames from video. A video card with a digital video camera allows
computers users to produce live video. A high speed or network connection is needed for
effective video transmission.
Network cards
Allow computers to connect together to communicate with each other. Network cards have
connections for cable, thin wire or wireless networks.

QUESTION
PART 1
Type the passage below, font size 12 point, & save it as CompSystem. [10 marks]
The Four Operations of a Computer System
Input
Home computers are microcomputers. Input is supplied to the microcomputer with the use of a keyboard, a
mouse, or another input device. These input devices may be called peripheral devices.
Processing
Processing is done inside the computer in an area called the central processing unit (CPU). Processing is
the conversion of input to output.
Storage
Storage refers to holding information somewhere.
RAM, Random Access Memory, is short-term memory. It is volatile memory because the memory is
automatically "erased" when the power is turned off or interrupted. The RAM memory is located inside the
computer case on the motherboard. A motherboard is not the keyboard. The keyboard is what you type
with. A motherboard holds RAM memory, electronic circuits and other computer parts including the
central processing unit. ROM, Read-Only-Memory, is not volatile meaning the memory is still there when
power is interrupted or turned off. When the computer is turned back on again, ROM memory is still in
storage on the internal hard disk.
Output
Output is the result of a computer process. Output may be viewed on a monitor screen, heard through
speakers, printed on printers, and so forth. Output devices may be considered hardware and are also
considered to be peripheral devices.
Part 2
a) Change the font type of the passage to Tahoma. [2 marks].

i) Create a table with 4 columns & 2 rows. Enter headings: Input, output, software & storage,
and give 2 examples of each. Bold the headings. [4 marks]

j) Save it as Compsystem2 & produce a print out
QUESTION
PART 1
Type the passage below, font size 12 point, & save it as System. [10 marks]
A Basic Computer "System"
A computer system refers to the computer AND all of its equipment. Equipment like speakers,
printer, keyboard, scanner, etc. is called peripheral equipment, sometimes shortened to
"peripherals". The central processing unit (CPU) is considered to be "the computer". Without
peripheral equipment (such as monitor, printer, speakers, etc.) for input and output the
microcomputer (home computer) will not be able to do anything you find useful.
Your computer system cannot help you type a letter unless you have some type of software
(program) to do this. A “word processing” program handles most typing. A software program for
your computer can be purchased at stores like Office Depot, Staples, and computer stores. Check
your local telephone directory for a computer store in your area. Sometimes when you purchase a
computer it already has a word processing program installed. If you buy a computer from a large
electronics chain store, even if you have to travel out of town, you will get a better price as a rule
than buying from a smaller chain store in town. Ask in town first, if they would be willing to
match another store's Advertised price... See "Buying A Computer", next

QUESTION
Type the passage below, font size 10 point, & save it as Mac. [12 marks]
The Macintosh Computer
The Macintosh computer is commonly referred to as a "Mac". Apple Computer has produced a
PowerMac, an iMac, and a PowerMac G4, and the PowerMacG5. The operating system of the
PowerMac G4 or G5 has undergone revisions. Each major version also has a name: OS X version
10.2.x is Jaguar; version 10.3.x is Panther, and the version 10.4.x is Tiger. The Apple PowerMac
computers (the G4 and the G5) have two processors (for parallel processing) instead of just one,
and there is space inside the computer to upgrade to 4 hard disks in a RAID array to give more
power to thecomputer functioning as a server. Sometimes the computer tower is called a "box"
which is a slang word for "the computer". You could say, "There are two processors inside the
box."
There is software specially designed for the PowerMac computersto help move files from a
Windows 98, ME, or 2000 system (XP is not listed on the box) to the Mac OS X. This software is
called Move2Mac and is a product of Detto Technologies. I found my copy of the shrink-wrapped
software on a shelf at a large Fry's Electronics store. A lot of computer software can be purchased
using a credit card with a secure connection over the Web, then downloading that software to
your own computer. I prefer having a CD or other disk with the software on the disk.
The Macintosh has excelled in the commercial graphics and publishing industries and thousands
of people prefer a Mac for home use rather than a PC. The PC computerscurrently have a much
greater market share and there are millions in use in homes and businesses throughout the world.
When you attend college the college will specify which type of computer, Mac or PC, will be in
use at the college for faculty and students. Some colleges use just Mac computers in campus
buildings and for the faculty. Other colleges use PCs.
(In the following paragraphs I use OS to mean "operating system")
Prior to the Macintosh OS X operating system the Macs used an operating system based upon a
single processor (computer CPU) which processed data and ran applications using what was
called cooperative multitasking. Cooperative multitasking allowed programs to sometimes take
control of the central processing unit. Now with the newer Macintosh operating system, OS
10.2.x (Jaguar) and later versions there is a UNIX-like kernel in the operating system, two
processors and the central processing unit processes data with symmetric multiprocessing (uses
both CPU's or "chips" to process data) and it uses pre-emptive multitasking, not allowing any
application to take control of the central processing units.

QUESTION
PART 1
Type the passage below, font size 10 point, & save it as CPU. [10 marks]
Central Processing Unit and Software Compatibility
The computer processor inside a PC or PC-clone computer has totally different architecture
(microscopic "wiring" schematic) inside the central processing unit chip (the CPU, or "chip"). In
other words, the specific way the circuits are laid out in a computer chip (CPU, central processing
unit) is called the chip architecture. PC chips and Mac chips have processing units with totally
different architecture. Software is not interchangeable. Buy Mac software for the Macintosh and
buy PC software for PCcomputers. An Apple or Mac computer is not a PC. Most PCcomputers
are sold new with a Windows operating system but keep in mind that other operating systems can
also run on PC-architecture machines. One example of another operating system that can run on a
PC machine is Linux for Windows. When two operating systems are on a disk they are installed
on separate "partitions" of the disk. That is similar to two songs on one CD having to be on
separate "tracks".
Hardware and Software
Usually, things you can see and touch on a computer or inside a computer are called "hardware"
whereas programs for the computer (digital instructions) are called software. A computer
programmer who writes lines of code for the computer creates software. An interpreter or
compiler is a smaller program, which changes the programmer's code into machine instructions
for the central processing unit. After much testing and debugging, the programmer's code is
finally "packaged" into executable files which make up the final "software" which can be
purchased later, or might be "bundled" with the computer when you buy it (meaning that some
software is already installed when you buy the computer.)

QUESTION
INTRODUCTION
Fast-Food Industry, industry concerned with the provision of fast food to customers, either prepared in
restaurants or other outlets, or sold in packaged form for buyers to consume or prepare at home.
Although it is acknowledged to be an increasingly significant sector of the hotel and catering industry,
defining fast food in any meaningful way has proved difficult. To some commentators, the basis of the
fast-food business is technology such as the microwave oven, while others contend that it is a form of
takeaway food retail outlet, epitomized by ubiquitous and usually American franchising and chain store
operations, such as McDonald’s, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Domino’s Pizza. Both
perspectives are inadequate, because they focus on how and where fast food is produced rather than what
is traded. How the product is traded or produced falls into the category of differentiating one competitive
offering from another, but it does not necessarily permit any material analysis of the industry’s dynamics,
its scope, its economic significance, or its history.
DEFINITION
A more instructive approach is to define fast food retail as the sale of an end or finished product with
four generic characteristics. It has a low relative price. The finishing (and in some cases total production)
and service times are quick. (The range of end products on offer, demand levels, and production/service
efficiency make it difficult to apply actual times, but these typically range between 2 and 15 minutes for
products made on site, and less than 30 minutes for home delivery products.) The product is suitable for
eating with the fingers, has disposable packaging, and, where applicable, disposable cutlery. (While this
aspect facilitates the takeaway, drive-through, and home delivery options of product delivery, it has also
attracted substantial criticism from environmentalists.) The durability of the finished product (such as
maintenance of heat, nutritional value, etc.) can be measured in minutes for hot fast food products and
hours for cold products. (This perishability factor clearly distinguishes fast food from
snack/confectionery items, and this is where recent food hygiene legislation, such as the United
Kingdom’s various Food Safety Acts, has been a central issue.)
Typical fast-food products falling within this generic definition include hamburgers, fish and chips,
scooped ice cream, kebabs, fried and broiled chicken, chips or French fries, pizza, Chinese and Indian
takeaway food, sandwiches, and other forms of ready-to-eat products, as well as canned or packaged
ready-to-drink beverages.
HISTORY
Many people believe that fast food is not only synonymous with the American lifestyle, but also had its
origins in the United States, and that it is a modern phenomenon. To some degree, these beliefs are
understandable when one considers the significant impact on traditional cultures that the American media
has had, that the term “fast food” did not appear in the popular vocabulary until 1954 (followed by “take-
out food” in 1962), the success of McDonald’s since Ray Kroc took over management control in 1955,
and that the top ten global fast-food brands are US-owned and generate sales of over US$75 billion
collectively.
However, much fast food is European in origin, with a considerable history. For example, John Stow’s
1598 survey of London mentions fast-food-like items, as does Henry Mayhew in his social history of
London in the 1840s and 1850s. The hamburger derived from the Baltic provinces of Russia in the
Middle Ages, where various tribes ate steak tartare. These Tartars, or Tatars, introduced the delicacy to
their German trading partners from the port of Hamburg. The Germans fried the meat and seasoned it
with onions. When German immigrants arrived in the United States, they brought this steak dish with
them. This said, there is also some evidence to suggest that the Romans ate a form of hamburger as long

ago as about 500 BC, and the Romans are also on record as eating a type of pizza. The sandwich
allegedly owes its existence to John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, who asked for such an item during a
gambling session in the early 1770s. The debate concerning the origin of fish and chips, whether it
derived from London or from Mossley in Lancashire, only serves to underline the European dimension.
What is attributable to the United States is the standardized chain-owned fast-food concept, the
subsequent innovations that improved the efficiency of these operations, and their growth through
franchising from 1925. Frederick Harvey, an Englishman, is noted as the pioneer who, in 1876, created
the uniformity in signs, décor and furnishings, and service staff attire that has become the hallmark of
modern fast-food retailing. These features were also apparent in the development of the cafeteria in the
1890s, and later in the opening of Horn and Hardart’s first automat restaurant in 1902. Within the fast-
food market, the origin of the standardized chain is attributed to the White Castle company, when Walter
Anderson and Edgar Ingram opened their first store in 1921. The emphasis on standardization has
attracted criticism because it has served to reduce labour skills and thereby reduce wages; it has also been
cited as the primary cause of the decline of independently owned and operated fast-food businesses, and
as an example of US cultural imperialism.
RECENT TRENDS
Fast food has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the hotel and catering industry. This growth
has not only been fuelled by consumer demand, but also through the expansion of the supply base
through diversification. This diversification has taken four forms.
PRODUCT DIVERSIFICATION
While fast-food menus have been traditionally limited in breadth and depth of product mix, as the market
has matured, so increased variety has become the norm. For example, the major hamburger chains offer
not only pizza, chicken, baked potatoes, sandwiches, and salads, but also different variations of these
foodstuffs. Their provision means that the chains are able to offer a new experience to their existing
customers and possibly appeal to a new customer base. In the United States, product diversity has taken a
branded route, with companies supplying complementary products, forming strategic alliances in order to
create dual-branded stores.
