14.7 Excel Problem
REQUIRED
a. Download the spreadsheet for problem 14.7 from the
website for this textbook:
b. Create formulas to calculate the following:
• Accumulated depreciation (all assets use the straight-line
method; all assets acquired any time during the year get a full
year’s initial depreciation)
• Current year’s depreciation (straight-line method, full

4. amount for initial year in which asset acquired)
• Ending accumulated depreciation
• Net book value at end of period
• Current year in the cell to the right of the phrase
“Depreciation schedule for year”
• Column totals for acquisition cost, beginning
depreciation, current depreciation, ending accumulated
depreciation, net book value
• In the cell to the right of the arrow following the text
“Cross-footing test,” create a formula that checks whether the
sum of the net book value column equals the sum of acquisition
costs minus the sum of ending accumulated depreciation. If the
two values match, the formula should display the text “Okay”;
otherwise, it should display the text “Error.”
c. Create a table at the bottom of your worksheet that
consists of two columns: (1) asset name (values should be chair,
desk, laptop, monitor, software, and workstation); and (2) net
book value (create a formula to calculate this number),
assuming that the current date is 06/30/2014. Then:
• Create a formula that sums the total net book values for
all classes of assets.
• In the cell to the right of the total net book values for all
asset classes, create a formula that compares the total net book
values for all classes of assets to the sum of all net book values
in the top portion of the spreadsheet. The formula should return
“Okay” if the two totals match or “Error: Sum of net book
values by asset class does not equal sum of all net book values”
if the two totals do not equal one another.
d. Enter your name in row 1 in the cell to the right of the text
“Name.”
