103-week-3-assignment-using-microsoft-excel
As indicated in the guidance for Week 3 Excel can be
used for many purposes. For example, Excel can be used
to develop and track your personal income and
expenses against a monthly budget. Assume a family
has developed a monthly budget and desires to compare
actual expenses for July to their budget.
Before we begin, for income and savings we use the
formula (Actual – Budget) and for costs or expenses we
use the formula (Budget – Actual). We do this because
we are trying to determine whether the difference or
variance is better or worse. It is better to earn a higher
salary but it is worse to spend more than budget.

Here are the detailed instructions:
1. In cell A1, enter the following title for this
worksheet: Personal Budget vs. Actuals.
2. In cell A3, enter the following: Item.
3. In cell B3, enter the following: Factor.
4. In cell C3, enter the following: Budget Amount.
5. In cell C4, enter the following: Per Month.
6. In cell D3, enter the following: Actual Amount.
7. In cell D4, enter the following: July.
8. In cell E3, enter the following: Difference.
9. In cell E4, enter the following: (Better/Worse)
Be sure to expand the columns so that the contents don’t
overlap the adjacent columns. At this point, this is what
your spreadsheet should look like:
The following set of instructions will build your line
items list:
10. In cell A5, enter the following: Salary
11. In cell A6, enter the following: Federal Taxes
12. In cell A7, enter the following: State Taxes
13. In cell A8, enter the following: Available Income
14. Leave cell A9 blank. Leave all other cells in row 9
blank
15. In cell A10, enter the following: Living Expenses:
Rent/utilities/groceries/phone
16. In cell A11 through A14, use the example below to
determine what should be entered.
17. In cell A15, enter the following: Total Expenses
18. Leave cell A16 blank, and leave all other cells in
row 16 blank.

19. In cell A17, enter the following: Savings
This is what you should see in your line items list:
Next, let’s add the Factors:
20. In cell B6, enter the following: 15%
21. In cell B7, enter the following: 5%
22. Leave all other cells in column B blank
This is how it should appear:
The following set of instructions will help you create
formulas in your spreadsheet. Excel has built in
formulas to make calculating data easier. Formulas
always begin with the equal sign (=) which tells Excel
that a formula is being entered.
23. In cell C5, enter the following: 4000
24. In cell C6, enter the following: =+B6*C5
Entering this formula will tell Excel to multiply the 15%
federal tax rate within cell B6 by the $4,000 monthly
amount in C5, which will return a $600 federal tax cost.
25. In cell C7, enter the following: =+B7*C5
Entering this formula will tell Excel to multiply the 5%
state tax rate within cell B7 by the $4,000 monthly
amount in C5, which will return a $200 state tax cost.
26. In cell C8, enter the following: =+C5-C6-C7
Entering this formula will tell Excel to subtract the
federal and state tax amounts from the salary amount to
determine the monthly available income of $3,200 after
taxes. Continue with the following instructions to enter
the remaining data and formulas into your spread sheet.

32. In cell C15, enter the following: formula:
=SUM(C10:C14)
33. In cell C16, enter the following: blank
34. In cell C17, enter the following formula: =C8-C15
35. In cell D5, enter the following: 4100
36. In cell D6, enter the following: =+D5*B6
37. In cell D7, enter the following: =+D5*B7
38. Place the cursor over cell C8, presspress Ctrl and C
at the same time, and move the cursor to cell D8,
presspress Ctrl and V at the same time. You should see
$3,280. You copied and pasted the formula from C8 into
D8. From now on we will just say “press Ctrl C” for copy
and “press Ctrl V” for paste.
41. In cells D12, enter the following: 270
44. Place the cursor over cell C15, press Ctrl C, move
the cursor to cell D15, press Ctrl V. You should see
3127. You copied and pasted the formula from C15 into
D15.
45. Place the cursor over cell C17, press Ctrl C, move
the cursor to cell D17, press Ctrl V. You should see
153. You copied and pasted the formula from C17 into

D17.
46. In cell E5, enter the following: =+D5-C5
47. In cell E6, enter the following: =+C6-D6
49. In cell E8, enter the following: =+D8-C8
51. Place the cursor over cell E10, press Ctrl C, with the
cursor highlight cells E11 through E14 then press Ctrl V.
53. In cell E17, enter the following: =+D17-C17. You are
almost done.
This is what your spreadsheet to this point should look
like:
To see all the formulas you’ve entered into the spread
sheet, click on the Formulas Tab and select Show
Formulas to see the formulas.
This is what the formulas should look like in the
spreadsheet:
Click Show Formulas again to return to the normal
spreadsheet view.
54. With the cursor highlight cells from C5 through
E17.
It should look similar to this:

55. Right click, then select Format Cells in the popup
menu:
Then make the selections indicated in the options box
pictured below.
These selections will remove the decimals and add a
dollar sign to the columns.
56. Finalize your worksheet by making sure all
columns are formatted to accommodate the size of the
data. In the same popup box pictured above in the
Border tab, you can format your table as needed to
assure it looks clean and neat. Consider putting borders
to separate cells. Consider making titles bold.
57. Save your worksheet. This is what it should look
like when you’re done:
Making a Chart for Budget Expenses
To view a brief ‘How To’ video for creating a chart in
your spreadsheet, click on the video below.
58. To make a chart for budget expenses:
o Use the cursor to highlight from A10 to A14
o Hold down the Control key (Ctrl) and select C10 to
C14.
o Hold down the Control key (Ctrl) and Select D10 to
D14.
Your columns should look similar to this:

• Click the “Insert” tab.
• Click the column chart
Select 2-D Column
In Microsoft Office version 2010 and prior, you will see
the Chart Tool activated at the top of the screen for the
formatting elements. Click the chart and press the help
key (F1) in Microsoft Office to open the help function for
the options available in your version. This is a clip of
Microsoft version 2010 for your reference:
In the 2013 version of Microsoft Office which is
demonstrated below, you should then see something
similar to the following graphic
• Use the options to the right to format your chart.
Click ‘Chart Title’ to change it to ‘Personal Budget vs.
Actuals’. You can also select other options to see how
they affect the appearance of your chart.
• Move chart underneath the table by placing the
cursor on the frame and dragging the diagram under the
budget table. You can expand the size of the chart by
selecting and dragging any of its corners.
Your finished spreadsheet should look similar to this
example:
