BIS 155 iLab 1 Upper Saddle River Marching Band (New)

Scenario/Summary

You are the assistant to the band director for the Upper Saddle River Marching Band, and you must prepare a report showing the status of the marching band fundraising event for presentation to the board of trustees. The report will summarize all sales of all items and include the total profit-to-date with the amount remaining to reach the profit goal. You will open the partially completed workbook, create formulas, format for presentation to the board, and add charts to graphically depict the sales over time and by product.

Deliverables

STEP 1: Opening and Saving

Download the spreadsheet, Week1 iLab Capital Fundraising Student.xslx. You will be prompted to save the file. Click yes.

Open the saved file from your Download folder on your computer.

Note: If you are using the Remote Lab environment you will need to follow the instructions for uploading the file. These instructions can be found on the iLab page when you click on the iLab icon on Course Resources.

STEP 2: Adding a Documentation Sheet

Insert a new spreadsheet into the workbook.

Change the name from Sheet 2 to Documentation. The Documentation Sheet should be the first sheet in the workbook.

Include your name, the date, and the purpose of the spreadsheet. Your documentation sheet should look something like the one below.

Upper Saddle River Marching Band—Fundraising Event

Creator            Your Name

Date    Date

Purpose           Board of Directors Presentation on Fundraising Sales to date

STEP 3: Format Your spreadsheet

Apply formatting to your spreadsheet.

Your goal is to take into consideration readability, reliability, and re-usability.  Remember that presentation has an impact on the viewer, and professional appearance is important for reporting data, just as personal appearance impacts perception. The goal is to make the data more readable, and possibly to highlight data that might otherwise be lost in many numbers.

The minimum formatting requirements (per the Grading Rubric) are:

Title Rows formatted as titles

Font Size changes

Color Changes

Use of Shading and Borders

Currency and numeric formatting

Note: Refer to the Formatting video in the lesson tutorials for help with this step.

STEP 4: Add Formulas

A.        Create the formulas needed to calculate the following for each item:

Net Selling Price = Selling Price * (1 – Sales Discount)

Total Sales = Sum(Daily Sales) * Net Selling Price

Total Profit = Total Sales – (Cost per item * sum(Daily Sales))

Average Profit % = Total Profit / Total Sales

B.        Create Grand Totals for the Total Sales and the Total Profit columns.

C.        Create the formula that will average all of the item profit %.

D.        Create formula to calculate the Remaining Profit needed to make the Marching Band goal for the fundraising campaign.

Remaining Profit = The Profit Goal – Total Profit (all items)

One of the strengths of Excel is its ability to make tedious and repetitious calculations, for speed and to reduce errors. Like all tools, there is always the possibility that you could use it incorrectly, so with formulas, it is important to verify the formulas you enter are correct.

Note: Refer to the Creating Formulas video in the Lesson tutorials for help with this step.

If you have done the Tutorial on formulas, you will have noticed, during the creation of the formulas, that there are many ways to accomplish similar results. Remember that arithmetic formulas follow an order in which calculations are performed. I make it a personal habit to always use parentheses () to order the calculations in the order in which I want them performed, so as not to make a mistake.

For example, if I enter the following formula into Excel, what is the outcome that I wanted?

6 + 4 * 10

Did I mean to have a result of 100 [(6+4) * 10] or 46 [6 + (4 * 10)]. Excel would give you 46.

Excel will try to follow the following order of execution whenever possible, but I would use the best practice of always using parentheses to be certain of what you want.

1.         Parenthesis

2.         Exponents

3.         Multiplication and division

4.         Addition and subtraction

STEP 5: Clean-Up

Clean-up the formatting of your report, taking into account professional appearance.

The minimum requirement (per the Grading Rubric):

Apply a color to each tab (sheet) in the workbook

Assign a descriptive name to each tab (sheet) in the workbook

Printing Setup (for each sheet)

o          Create a Custom Page Header

o          Set the page orientation to landscape

Note: Refer to the Formatting Cleanup video in the lesson tutorials for help with this step.

Remember, professional appearance doesn’t only promote better readability of your report, but represents you as a professional.

STEP 6: Create Charts to Represent the Data

Because a picture is worth a thousand words, create each of the charts below to further enhance your report.  Each chart should be on a separate sheet in the workbook.

•           Pie chart

•           Bar chart

•           Line chart

Note: Refer to the Creating Bar Charts, Pie Charts, and Line Charts videos in the lesson tutorials for help with this step. Once you have completed the tutorials, you can apply your skills to this step of the assignment.

Be sure to properly label the charts – do not leave default titles such as “Axis” or “Series”.

STEP 7: Save and Submit

Save your Excel file.

Your Excel file should contain five worksheets.

•           Documentation

•           Sales-Data

•           Profit by Product

•           Percent Sales Graph

•           Profits-by-Day

BIS 155 iLab 2: First National Bank (New)

Scenario/Summary

You are an intern at First National Bank working in the loan department, and your boss has asked you to prepare the monthly “New Loan Report” for the Board of Directors. This analysis report will clearly list and summarize all new loans for residential housing in the past month. The summary area includes the loan statistics as labeled data in the data file. The format of the report should be appropriate for the Board of Directors for the First National Bank.

Be sure to watch the tutorials at the end of the Lesson page.

Deliverables

Step 1: Open, Save, and Document the Workbook

A.        Download the Week2_iLab_FirstNatlBank_Students.xlsx Workbook. Open the file in Excel, and save it as the file name as describe above (i.e., Doe_J_Week2 iLab.xlxsm). [Note:  You may get a popup message that asks you to “Enable Saving”.  Simply click “Yes” to Enable and you will be able to save the file]

B.        It is recommended that as you progress through this assignment, that you work on what you have learned so far, in terms of readability. Be sure to keep your worksheet professional with easy to read column headings, shading, spacing, boxes, logos, and so on. Remember to label your worksheets with appropriate labels (i.e., not sheet1, sheet2, etc.).

C.        Add a documentation sheet that provides a spreadsheet title, author, date, and purpose. Format the documentation sheet. The bank’s logo is dark blue, so use a color scheme that reflects that logo. Select complementary Font and Fill colors for the documentation sheet. Ensure that the sheet tab is named Documentation and that the documentation sheet is the first sheet in the workbook.

Step 2: Create Calculations

Functions are used to calculate the interest rate, down payment, monthly payment, and average selling price for each residential home in the worksheet. You need to create a formula to determine the down payment. Finish the calculations by using the appropriate functions to complete the Loan Statistics summary area of the worksheet.

A.        Use a VLOOKUP function to determine the interest rates in column D. There is a tutorial video on creating and using VLookup tables at the end of the Lesson page.

B.        Calculate the down payment by multiplying the results of a VLOOKUP function by the selling price. Enter the formula in column E.

C.        Calculate the amount to be financed by subtracting the down payment from the selling price. Enter the formula in column F.

D.        Use a PMT function to determine the monthly payments in column G. You should assume that the payment is being made at the beginning of the month. Remember that the Interest Rate being shown is an annual percentage rate (APR), yet the payments are being made monthly. Be sure to make your adjustment to the interest rate for this. In addition, the term of the loan is being shown in years. Be sure to adjust the years to months in your PMT function argument.

E.         Use appropriate formulas and functions to calculate our loan statistics for the month.

•           Number of Loans

•           Lowest Amount Financed

•           Total Amount Financed

•           Highest Amount Financed

Step 3: Format the Worksheet

Now that you have finished the calculations, you must format the worksheet in a professional manner suitable for delivering to the Board of Directors. Your final worksheet will look something like the worksheet below.

A.        Format all money figures as currency with two decimals and all percentages as percents.

B.        Adjust columns sizes to fit the data.

C.        Merge and center titles and size appropriately.

D.        Change font color to dark blue.

E.         Add a small graphic appropriate for the purpose of the worksheet.

F.         Separate sections of the worksheet and provide borders as appropriate.

Step 4: Create an Excel Application With Macro and Macro Button

A.        Add a new worksheet to the workbook, and name it Loan calculator.

B.        Create a user input section that asks users to input the following:

1.         What is the price of the home?

2.         Do you wish to put any additional money down?

3.         Pay at the beginning of the month?

C.        Create an Output section that uses the user-provided data and calculates the mortgage payments for a 15-year loan, a 20-year loan, and a 30-year loan.

D.        Add user input validation to ensure that users input at least $50,000 for the cost of the home and answer Yes/No to the payment question.

E.         Unlock the cells in which users will input data so that you may protect the sheet to keep users from changing other areas.

F.         Create a Macro.

G.        Use Insert Shapes to add a Macro button that will allow users to clear values and start over. Name the button Enter New Values.

H.        Protect the worksheet, but do NOT require a password.

I.          Format the worksheet so that it is easy to understand and use. The following is a sample of what your final worksheet might look like:

Save your file as an xlsm file and submit to the Dropbox. Make sure you post a comment about what you learned when submitting the file.

BIS 155 iLab 3: Luke Liberty Realty (New)

You are an intern with the Regional Realty Association and are analyzing the claim made by Luke Liberty Realty that “we get your price.” You have prepared a spreadsheet that shows data relating to 3 months’ sales by Luke Liberty Realty. You are going to determine the percent of asking price for each home sold and analyze the sales data to determine the true track record of the company in selling homes for the asking price.

STEP 1: Open, Save, and Document the Workbook

You must open a workbook that lists home sales for 3 months.

A.        Download the workbook Week3_iLab_LibertyRealty_Student.xlsx

B.        Open the workbook in Excel, and save it according to the file naming convention above.

C.        Insert a documentation sheet that includes title, author, date, and purpose. Format it appropriately, including changing the Sheet Name to Documentation. At the end of this activity, you will be asked to provide a conclusion as to whether this realty company “really gets your price.”

STEP 2: Add Calculations and Format Sales Data Worksheet

A formula is used to calculate the percent of asking price, and this formula is applied to all listed sales. You will format the list in an attractive and useful manner.

A.        Calculate the percent of asking price for each sale (selling price divided by asking price). Enter the formula in Column F. Format Column F as a percentage with one decimal.

B.        Format Columns D and E as currency, with no decimals. Format Columns G and H as dates so just the day and month (e.g., 5-May) are visible. You will need to use the Number Format dropdown list, select More Number Formats, and select the Date category.

C.        Widen columns to make all data and headings visible. Format titles as appropriate. Bold and center the column headings.

Your Sales Data worksheet will look something like this.

STEP 3: Sort Data and Create Summary Report and Chart

A.        Before analyzing data, it is a good idea to copy the data to a new worksheet so that you have a back-up copy of the original data. Right click on the Sales Data sheet tab and select Move or Copy. Create a copy of the current spreadsheet and move it to the end. Name the sheet Sorted Data.

B.        In order to sort the data, you may want to convert them to a data table. Format the data table to look attractive.

C.        Sort the data by selling agent (A to Z) and then by asking price (largest to smallest).

D.        Convert the sorted data back into a range, and create a summary report showing the total asking price and total selling price by selling agent.

E.         Create a column chart that shows the difference by agent between asking price and selling price.

STEP 4: Filter the Data

A.        Create another copy of the original sales data. Rename the sheet Filtered Data.

B.        Convert the range to a table, and then filter to show only those properties sold in Miami by agent Carey.

STEP 5: Apply Conditional Formatting

You determine that one measure of how well the company “gets your price” is to set a scale. Excellent performance is at or above the asking price. Good performance is between 95% and 100%. Below 95% is average performance. You will create conditional formatting rules to display graphically the performance level for each sale. Make a copy of the original sales data chart. Name the new sheet Conditional Format.

A.        Select the data range and insert a table.

B.        Use Advanced Formatting to set up the following conditional formatting rules for the field Percent of Asking Price.

•           Greater than or equal to 100% = GREEN

•           95% to 99.9% = YELLOW

•           Less than 95% = RED

C.        Use Percent of Asking Price as the Sort Key, and sort by color with green first, then yellow, and then red.

STEP 6: Create a Pivot Table

Now that you have sorted, subtotaled, filtered, and conditionally formatted the data, you have a few more questions to answer. You want to see average percentage of selling price by agent and by city. This will allow you to see whether there are any patterns based on the city or based on the salesperson. To do this kind of comparison, you decide to create a pivot table.

A.        Open the Sales Data worksheet. Select the Sales Data range (A3:H33). From the Formulas tab, select Define Name from the Defined Names group. Name the range of cells SalesData.

B.        Create a pivot table based on the named range, SalesData. Create the pivot table in a new worksheet.

C.        Select Selling Agent as your Row Labels and City as your Column Labels. Select Percent of Sales as your Values. Change the Summary type for Percent of Sales to average, the Number Format to percent, and the Name to Average Percent of Asking Price. Apply Data Bars Conditional Formatting to the percentages. Hide the Field Headers.

D.        Rename the sheet PivotTable, and move it so that it is the last tab in the worksheet.

STEP 7: Draw a Conclusion

On the Documentation Sheet, add a section called Analysis. Based on your data analysis, do you believe that Luke Liberty Realty should be allowed to advertise that they “Get your price?” Justify your answer by referring to the data analysis you have just completed.

BIS 155 iLab 5: Carina’s Pizza Analysis (New)

The owner of Carina’s Pizza, wants to evaluate the profitability of the three restaurants before expanding further. They are particularly interested in the comparative results of three dining categories, dine-in, pickup, and delivery. Carina has asked for your help in doing this analysis in return for a small stipend and all the pizza you can eat. You have already prepared a template and distributed it to each restaurant manager, who has entered the sales data for last year. Your next task is to consolidate the data into a single workbook that shows the total sales for each quarter and each dining category. The information should be shown in tabular, as well as graphical formats. You will also create a documentation sheet so that Joe will know exactly what you have created.

Lab Steps

STEP 1: Open all Worksheets and consolidate into a summary worksheet.

You will be using Week5_Lab5_Carinas_Summary_Student.xlsx the partially completed Summary workbook and the completed Northside Workbook, Southside Workbook, and Downtown Workbook.

Consolidate the data from the three completed worksheets into the Summary workbook (Week5_Lab5_Carinas_Summary_Student.xlsx).

A.        The individual worksheets for the three locations have been placed in the single workbooks (Northside, Southside and Downtown) for you. Be sure to practice the copying feature from multiple workbooks, as shown in the tutorial videos.

B.        Using the Consolidate feature and perform a summary consolidation of the three locations into the provided summary worksheet page.

C.        Rename the file that includes your consolidated summary worksheet. File naming convention: If your name is Jane Doe, then your files should be named very similar to: Doe_J_Week5_iLab.xlsx.

D.        Close the Northside, Southside and Downtown Workbooks.  Leave your Summary workbook open.

STEP 2: Summarize Dining Categories by Quarter

You must provide a summary report of the dining category sales by quarter for the year so that Joe Bruno knows exactly what each location is doing.

A.        Create formulas to calculate sales by dining category and quarter on the Summary Sheet.

B.        Group the worksheets and add Grand Totals by Dining Category and by Quarter.

STEP 3: Create Graph

Carina is more of a visual person, and you want to present your data in an alternate way. You will create a chart to summarize your data.

A.        Create a chart on the separate sheet already in your workbook. Your chart should show the amount of income from each of the dining categories displayed by quarter. A trend line might help her to see the area of highest growth.

B.        Include a title, legend, and data labels on your chart.

C.        Format the chart to coordinate with your summary table, using the same colors, fonts, titles, and clip art.

Need help? Review the Week 1 step-by-step instructions for charting. Hint: Select clustered columns as your basic chart type. The following is a suggested format (your answers may vary).

Image Description

STEP 4: Create a Documentation Sheet

You must document your worksheet with a professional-looking documentation sheet before Carina can reimburse you for your work.

A.        Insert a new worksheet and rename the sheet tab Documentation.

B.        Include the following on your documentation worksheet: Your name as author, date of creation, date of last modification, purpose. Create a Contents section that lists the sheets in the workbook and provides a brief description.

C.        Format the documentation worksheet using the same colors and font used in other worksheets and charts.

D.        Hide the gridlines on the Documentation Sheet using the Page Layout tab, Sheet Options group.

E.         Group the worksheets and create a custom footer with your name on the left, the page number in the middle, and the instructor’s name on the right.

F.         Based on your analysis, do you think Carina should add another store to her chain? Why or why not? Provide a comment on the Documentation Sheet.

Submit your completed workbook to the Dropbox. Make sure you post a comment about what you learned when submitting the file.

IMPORTANT: There are two iLabs this week, and there is a separate Dropbox basket for each one. Be sure to submit your work for this iLab to the Dropbox basket labeled Week 5: iLab 5.

BIS 155 iLab 6 (Week 5) Day Care Center (New)

Senario/Summary

Your friend, Adair Deske, is considering opening a day care center. She has started compiling her assumptions and putting together an Income Statement. She has determined that she must make at least $75,000 profit per year in order to start the business. She has asked you to analyze her Income Statement and help her determine whether it is viable for her to start this business. You have agreed to help her complete her Income Statement and to perform What-If analysis to help her look at her potential profitability.

When submitting the workbook to the Dropbox, provide a comment in the Dropbox comments area explaining what you learned from completing this iLab activity.

Lab Steps

STEP 1: Open Worksheet and Complete the Income Statement

Adair needs your help in completing her Income Statement. She has provided the basic assumptions, but you need to provide the calculations that will be used as you perform What-If analysis.

A.        Open Week5_Lab6_Adair_Daycare_Student.xlsx. Notice that Adair has provided the basic assumptions concerning her costs and her revenue.

B.        Complete the following calculations.

Revenue

•           Total Revenue: Multiply tuition per day times number of days by number of children.

Variable expenses are those expenses that will depend on the number of children served each year. Jane has provided the assumptions. Define annual costs based on the cost per day multiplied by the number of children multiplied by the number of days.

•           Food Expenses

•           Supply Expenses

Teacher Cost: Create a VLOOKUP function to determine the annual teacher cost. The Lookup Value is the number of children. The Lookup Table is in cells E3:F7. The Index Column is the second column in the table. You want the closest match. Multiply the LOOKUP function times the annual teacher salary.

Total Variable expenses: This will be the SUM of all of the Variable Expenses (B17:B19).

Summary. Use formulas in these cells because you will wish to change the values in your assumption section to see how these changes impact the Net Income.

Total Revenue should refer to the Total Revenue cell (B14).

Total Expense is Variable Costs + Fixed Costs.

Net Income is Total Revenue – Total Expense

C.        Rename the file according to the file naming conventions as shown at the top of this page. Your Income Statement should look like the one below, but it is important that you have created formulas rather than typing in amounts. As you perform What-If analysis, the formulas will be recalculated to show you the results of changing assumptions.Image Description

STEP 2: Analyze the Difference in Total Expenses and Net Income When You Vary the Number of Students

Adair desires to look at the differences in her net income depending on the number of children she cares for. Her house will accommodate no more than 15 children, and she believes she should have no less than six children. Because you are varying only one of your assumptions, you can develop a one-variable data table. A one-variable data table will allow you to see the impact of changing one variable—and see the results on multiple outputs.

A.        Set up the Data Table to display number of children from 6 through 15. Add a descriptive title to the Data Table.

B.        Show the Expenses and Net Income for each change in number of children.

C.        Populate the Data Table using the Data tab, What-If analysis, Data Table tool.

D.        Apply Conditional Formatting to Net Income that is above $75,000.

Your final Data Table should look something like this.

STEP 3: Analyze the Difference in Net Income When You Vary the Number of Students and the Charge Per Student

Adair also wishes to look at the impact on Net Income when she varies the number of students and the charge per student. Use a two-variable data table to analyze.

A.        Set up the Data Table to display number of children as the row input (6–15) and charge per student (35–75 in $5 increments) as the column input.

NOTE: In a Data Table, the information in the top row of the table is called the row input and the information in the first column of the table is called the column input. We usually think of the top row in Excel as a column header and the labels in the first column as row labels, so this may seem a bit confusing. Just remember, in a Data Table, the top row is row input; first column is column input.

B.        Enter Net Income in the result cell, and format this cell to display no data.

C.        Add a descriptive heading.

D.        Create the data table and apply conditional formatting to Net Income values over $75,000.

Your Data Table will look something like this.

STEP 4: Create Scenarios and a Scenario Summary

Adair wants to look at three scenarios. Be sure to save each scenario with a unique name, and place the name of the scenario on the sheet, so that when the scenario changes, the name on the sheet changes to match the scenario.

Scenario          Teacher Salary Supplies           Number           Tuition

1. Economy     15,000            25       15       35

2. Midrange     26,000            60       8         50

3. High            38,000            100     6         100

She wants to see the Net Income that would be achieved in each Scenario and compare this to her original assumptions.

A.        Name the cells that will be used in the Scenario.

B.        Create the three Scenarios.

C.        Create a Scenario Summary.

D.        Move the Scenario Summary to the end of the workbook.

STEP 5: Create a Documentation Sheet and Provide a Recommendation

A.        Add a documentation sheet to the beginning of the workbook. Include Author, date Created, Last Modified, and Contents sections.

B.        Provide a recommendation to Adair.

C.        Format the documentation sheet to match the look and feel of the other sheets in the workbook.

D.        Add a graphic to the documentation sheet.

Submit your completed workbook to the Dropbox. Make sure you post a comment about what you learned when submitting the file.

BIS 155 iLab 7 (Week 6) Analysis of a business Scenario

Scenario/Summary

The purpose of this exercise is to use the Excel skills you have acquired thus far, and apply them to an analysis of a business scenario, of your choice. This will consist of preparing the groundwork in Excel (importing data, preparing the analysis using tables, charts, graphs, pivot tables, etc.) and preparing a memo to your management, explaining your three separate analysis.

This is different than prior iLab assignments, in that there are no specific instructions as to what type of analysis (i.e., Sales/Units/discounts by Country/Rep/Product/Date/Category, etc.) is to be performed. The general requirement is for you to prepare a minimum of three discrete analyses and perform a write-up to management, using the memo format provided.

Remember that you are making a professional analysis and presentation, so be sure to give some thought to what you are trying to recommend to management, and why.

STEP 1: Import Your Data Into Excel

The ultimate goal is to prepare a memo to management, using the Week 6 iLab Memo Template. Before you begin working with Excel, it might be a good idea to take a look at this template, so that you can envision your end results.

In this first step you will open Excel and import the data from Week 6 iLab Sales Data. This is a comma delimited file with column headers, and you should be sure to format the “Order Date” as a date type column.  Remember to save the file as an Excel workbook, using the naming convention shown above. I don’t believe there is any reason to perform a spell check, as there are just too many unique names of products in this data.

Using a company name of your choice, format this data sheet in a professional looking manner. Given the fact that you have a unit price and quantity, it might help you to create another column to show the gross revenue.

STEP 2: Convert Data to a Table Format

In this step, create a new worksheet, using a copy of your original data. Convert the data to a table format. You may choose to use this table to begin your analysis, through the use of sorting, filters, subtotals, and so on. If you choose to do so, be sure to include an appropriate page title and sheet name to describe your work.

STEP 3: Create the Three-Scenario Analysis

This is an opportunity to show your intuition, creativity, and Excel skills, so be sure to provide good examples here, for each scenario that you present.

Analyze the Data

As mentioned, analyze the data in at least three different ways. Each form of Data Analysis should be provided on a separate, appropriately labeled worksheet. It is expected that each sheet will be professionally formatted and clearly documented with titles, comments, and explanation. Remove any extra sheets so your workbook is as compact as possible when you turn it in. Go back and review your iLabs for assistance in completing the different types of analysis. There is a memo template that you will be using to present your analysis.

The following are some examples of analysis you might wish to do.

•           Sort by discount level. Have discounts increased sales volumes? Is there any discount level that appears to be more effective than others?

•           Graph sales over time to see trends. Are there any peaks and lows in sales? Is there any time of year in which sales are highest? Lowest?

•           Pivot the data to see total sales by quarter, country, category, and salesperson. Are there any highs? Are there any lows that need to be addressed?

•           Subtotal the data. How are quarterly sales totals? Sales totals by salesperson? By country?

•           Challenge Option: Perform What-If analysis. What if prices were raised by a certain percentage with a slight decline in sales? What combination of price increases and decline in sales makes the most sense?

STEP 4: Prepare the Management Analysis Memo

In this step you will use your Excel analysis, and prepare a write up of your results, using the Week 6 iLab Memo Template Microsoft Word document.  Be sure to rename this file, using the file naming conventions shown above.

As the template states, your memo should include any textual explanation of your analysis, to include any graphics that were presented in your workbook. The write-up of your analysis should be formatted professionally. Be sure to review your writing for spelling and grammar structure.

Your memo will focus at least one paragraph on each of the Data Analysis sheets in your workbook. Explain the type of analysis you completed, the conclusions you drew, and a recommendation based on the analysis.

You should include a final paragraph that explains three things you learned about using Excel for data analysis. Be sure to submit your work for this iLab to the Dropbox basket labeled Week 6: iLab 7

BIS 155 iLab 8 (Week 7) Descriptive statistics, formatting, graphs, and regression analysis

Scenario/Summary

Hopefully you will find this week’s iLab activity fun and useful. We’ll be exploring the world of statistics from a business perspective this week, allowing you to practice your skills with descriptive statistics, formatting, graphs, and regression analysis.

As discussed in the lesson, the value of statistics lies in the ability to analyze data more effectively for the purpose of improving decision making.  You might have heard the expression that “statistics never lie, and only liars use statistics”. There is an obvious truth in this statement, in that, depending on the questions being asked and the data collected, the statistics can skew reality.

For example, it is true that as ice cream sales increase, accidents at swimming pools increase. Does this mean that the more ice cream that is sold, the more accidents it causes (correlation/causation)? Of course not, but the data, if not interpreted correctly, could lead to false conclusions. It just so happens that both are correlated to a rise in temperature in the summertime. The hotter it is outside, the more kids flock to swimming pools, leading to more accidents, and the more ice cream is sold. So you see, although statistics are vital in the world of decision making, you have to be wise, and ask the right questions.

STEP 1: Getting Started—Worksheet Template

Please download this week’s iLab file: Week7_iLab_Statistics

Your first step should be to save and rename this file according to the naming convention above.

It is recommended, as you work on this iLab, that you save your work often.

STEP 2: Create a Documentation Page

This will be a similar documentation page that you have used for all prior iLabs. Please refer to instructions in iLab 1 for detailed instructions.

Be sure to place the documentation sheet as your first sheet.

STEP 3: Descriptive Statistics

The Data_1971_2000 worksheet is already loaded with data for you, which is the actual temperatures for all of the U.S. states between 1971 and 2001. As you can see, the data already contains the averagetemperature for each state, in both Fahrenheit and Celsius, along with the ranking of the states, in terms of warmest average temperature (#1) to the lowest.

1.         Freeze the top row, so that the column headers are visible as you scroll through the data.

2.         At the bottom of the page, you are asked to provide the Count, Average, Median, Mode, Min, and Max for each of the states for each of the data columns. The shaded area at the end of the states is where these descriptive statistics should be entered.

3.         To the right of the data, starting at approximately Texas (row 44), use the Data Analysis feature to display the summary descriptive statistics for each temperature and the rank. Be sure to shade and format your descriptive statistics (similar to the shading in Step #2 above) so as to be able to read everything well.

As you read your results, you might note some interesting results. First and foremost, note how the statistics associated with the rankings are virtually worthless, as they really don’t provide any insight to the data itself.  This is a little of what I meant above when I talked about some statistics are junk, and you have to be careful in how you ask your questions and interrupt the results.

STEP 4: Bar Chart and Summary Statistics

Using the BarChart worksheet, calculate the summary statistics shown at the bottom of the data, for each of Bottles, Cans, and Plastic.

Create a bar chart to the right of the data, with a title of Marketing Campaign Results. You can choose the colors that you want for each city’s results, but make sure that you show the Y-axis labels to the right and the X-axis labels on the bottom, along with the word City as their label.

STEP 5: Line Chart

Using the LineChart1 worksheet, calculate the average income for the ages listed. Then create a line chart, with a title of Average Income by Age, with appropriate labels on the X and Y axis.

Your chart should be placed to the right of your data, on the same sheet.

STEP 6: Average and Median, With Line Chart

This step is very similar to the previous worksheet, except that there is an additional summary statistic and you are working with multiple variables.

Calculate the average and median for both Income and Rent. As you look at your results, do you notice the difference between the results? Does this better explain the difference between average and median for you?

To the right of the data, on the same sheet, produce a line graph of the Income and Rent. Again, the color of the lines is your choice. Use a chart heading of Average Income/Rent by Age. Be sure to show your Income and Rent labels to the right of the chart, and a label of Age on the X axis and Amount ($000) on the Y axis.

STEP 7: Regression Analysis and Scatter Graph

The data here is very simple, and not really a good example of using regression analysis, but the process behind the exercise is the most important issue.

1.         Create a scatter chart of the data, below the data, with a title of Revenue Growth.

2.         Draw a trendline associated with the data points. Be sure to select the inclusion of the Equation and R-squared values on the chart.

3.         Perform a regression analysis on the data set. Remember to identify which of the variables are dependent (Y axis) and independent (X axis) so as not to get confused on your input values. Place the regression results, starting at cell I1, instead of using the default, which is a separate sheet. Be sure to identify and highlight on the regression data, the R-squared value, the Intercepts point, and the slope of the line.

STEP 8: Sorting Statistics

The data listed here is the first and last five presidents to have died of natural causes.

Many forget that simply sorting information in a specific format can provide meaningful information. However, before we begin the multiple sorting exercise, simply complete the descriptive statistics at the bottom of this group of presidents. There are multiple ways of calculating the average age for the first and last five presidents, but for this exercise, use the AVERAGEIF function. Because there is not a MEDIANIF function, you will have to do this one manually with your formula (not with a calculator).

Your next step is to copy the data for each president, excluding the ordinal column, to each of the other two categories. For example, the column of President should start at cell G3, and at cell L3. Once you have copied the data, reorder the data, with the second group by Age at Death, and the third set by Year of Death.

You will most likely find this information very interesting. Some find it strange that the average age of death of the first five and the last five presidents was less than a year different, especially given all the advances in medicine.

STEP 9: Regression Analysis

Scenario: The owner of the Original Greek Diner has been advertising for the past year, and is now ready to renew his contract. He needs to know if the advertising has been effective, so your task is to take the prior year’s data and perform a regression analysis to determine the correlation between advertising expenditures and restaurant sales (revenues).

Using the GreekData sheet, prepare a scatter plot graph with a title of Revenues (Y), placed to the right of the data on the same sheet. The data must be presentable, so you might want to use an increment of $500 for the X axis. After creating the graph, which should include the Equation and R-squared values, create a trend line.  You should notice that there appears to be a close relationship between advertising spending and revenues.

Your next task is to create the regression data on a separate sheet, labeled Greek Regression. As a reminder, regression analysis is located on the Data -> Data Analysis menu. Be sure to highlight the R-squared value in red, the Intercept value in blue, and the X variable 1 in green.

Based on this data, and what you have learned about regression thus far, what do you think the owner should do?

Let me throw you a curve (pun intended). Suppose this restaurant is located near a baseball park, and it just so happens that the days the owner advertised, there were baseball games playing on those nights. Would you now have the same conclusions, or might you want to take the time to collect more data?

Statistics are not perfect, but they can provide immeasurable insight into data analysis. You just have to ask the right questions.

STEP 2: Add Calculations and Format
Sales Data Worksheet (10 points)

A formula is used to calculate the percent of asking price, and
this formula is applied to all listed sales. You will format the list in an
attractive and useful manner.

A. Calculate the percent of asking price for each sale (selling
price divided by asking price). Enter the formula in Column F. Format Column F
as a percentage with one decimal.

B. Format Columns D and E as currency, with no decimals. Format
Columns G and H as dates so just the day and month (for example, 5-May) are
visible. You will need to use the Number Format dropdown list, select More
Number Formats, and select the Date category.

C. Widen columns to make all data and headings visible. Format
titles as appropriate. Bold and center the column headings.

STEP 3: Sort Data and Create Summary Reportand Chart (10
points)

A. Before analyzing data, it is a good idea to copy the
data to a new worksheet so that you have a back-up copy of the original data.
Right click on the Sales Data sheet tab and select Move or Copy. Create a copy
of the current spreadsheet and move it to the end. Name the sheet Sorted
Data.

B. In order to sort the data, you must convert them to a data
table. Format the data table to look attractive.

C. Sort the data by selling agent (A to Z) and then by asking
price (largest to smallest).

D. Convert the sorted data back into a range, and create a
summary report showing the total asking price and total selling price by selling
agent

E. Create a column chart that shows the difference by agent between
asking price and selling price

Step 4. Filter the data

A. Create another copy of
the original sales data. Rename the sheet Filtered Data.

B. Convert the range to a table, and then filter to show only
those properties sold in Miami by agent Carey.

Step 5. Apply Conditional formatting

You determine that one measure of how well the company “gets
your price” is to set a scale. Excellent performance is at or above the asking
price. Good performance is between 95% and 100%. Below 95% is average
performance. You will create conditional formatting rules to display graphically
the performance level for each sale. Make a copy of the
original sales data chart. Name the new sheet Conditional Format.

A. Select the data range and
insert a table.

B. Use Advanced Formatting to set up the following conditional
formatting rules for the field Percent of Asking Price.

Greater than or equal to 100% = GREEN 95% to 99.9% = YELLOW Less than 95% = RED

C. Use Percent of Asking Price as the Sort Key, and sort by
color with green first, then yellow, and then red

Step 6. Create a Pivot Table

Now that you have sorted, subtotaled, filtered, and conditionally
formatted the data, you have a few more questions to answer. You want to see
average percentage of selling price by agent and by city. This will allow you to
see whether there are any patterns based on the city or based on the
salesperson. To do this kind of comparison, you decide to create a pivot table.

A. Open the Sales Data worksheet. Select the Sales Data range
(A3:H33). From the Formulas tab, select Define Name from the Defined Names
group. Name the range of cells SalesData.

B. Create a pivot table based on the named range, SalesData.
Create the pivot table in a new worksheet.

C. Select Selling Agent as your Row Labels and City as your
Column Labels. Select Percent of Sales as your Values. Change the Summary type
for Percent of Sales to average, the Number Format to percent, and the Name to
Average Percent of Asking Price. Apply Data Bars Conditional Formatting to the
percentages. Hide the Field Headers.

D. Rename the sheet PivotTable, and move it so that it is the
last tab in the worksheet.

Step 7. Draw a conclusion

On the Documentation Sheet, add a section called Analysis. Based on
your data analysis, do you believe that Barr Realty should be allowed to
advertise that they “Get your price?” Justify your answer by referring to the
data analysis you have just completed.

BIS 155 Week 6 Course Project Excel Project

Objective

The general instructions for this project can be found in the Week 6 Lecture material. The Week 6 Lecture describes the assignment and provides an overview of the project as a whole. There are no step-by-steps for the course project. The following are grading criteria for this project.

Guidelines

Organize the Data

Data imported from SalesData.csv text file located in Course Project Materials in DocSharing. Professional formatting follows the formatting guidelines we studied during the first week of class. Documentation sheet added to provide author, purpose, and date and provide information about each of the sheets you will create as you analyze the data. At least one calculated field added and copied to all cells in the worksheet.

Analyze the Data

Analyze the data in at least three different ways. Each form of Data Analysis should be provided on a separate, appropriately labeled worksheet. It is expected that each sheet will be professionally formatted and clearly documented with titles, comments, and explanation. Remove any extra sheets so your workbook is as compact as possible when you turn it in. Go back and review your labs for assistance in completing the different types of analysis.

The following are some examples of analysis you might wish to do:

Sort by discount level. Have discounts increased sales volumes? Is there any discount level that appears to be more effective than others? Graph sales over time to see trends. Are there any peaks and lows in sales? Is there any time of year in which sales are highest? Lowest?

Pivot the data to see total sales by quarter, country, category, and salesperson. Are there any highs? Are there any lows that need to be addressed? Subtotal the data. How are quarterly sales totals? Sales totals by salesperson? By Country? Challenge Option: Perform What-If Analysis. What if prices were raised by a certain percentage with a slight decline in sales? What combination of price increases and decline in sales makes most sense?

Present your Conclusions in a Report

Use the integration techniques we worked on in the course to develop a report (Word document) that includes data and graphs copied and pasted from your spreadsheet. You will turn in both your Recommendation Report and your spreadsheet.

(There is an Excel Project Template in DocSharing, Course Project Materials, to help you formulate your report. The yellow-lined information provides an explanation of what should be included in each section of the report.)

Your report will focus one paragraph on each of the Data Analysis sheets in your workbook. Explain the type of analysis you completed, the conclusions you drew, and a recommendation based on the analysis. (45 points)

You should include a final paragraph that explains three things you learned about using Excel for data analysis. (15 points)

BIS 155 Week 7 DQ Uses and Applications of Statistics

More than 100 years ago, H.G. Wells commented that “statistical thinking will one day be as necessary as the ability to read and write.” If you were to google “statistics for managers”, you will see a list of all sorts of books on this topic, followed by thousands of articles and resources.

Provide a detailed application for the use of some of the many forms of statistics in business. As you perform this analysis, be sure to describe the scenario in detail, why you will need the use of statistics, and explain which type of statistics you will use to solve your scenario question. Two-hundred-word minimum, well formatted and referenced.
