Using spreadsheets and data to analyze a company’s profit is essential to keeping a business thriving.

Competency In this project, you will master the following competency: Use spreadsheet applications to interpret information and draw conclusions Scenario You work at All-Store, a large general store. All-Store sells everything from groceries and office supplies to medicine, toys, and books. Unfortunately, the company’s profits have been down for the last six months.

Jill Oliviera, All-Store’s general manager, has decided to rethink the store’s business strategies. One of these strategies is to focus the business’s efforts on just a few departments. This way, the store can specialize in those areas rather than continuing to support all of its current offerings. Jill Oliviera has announced that the company will offer goods from just three departments going forward. All-Store will greatly expand and promote these three departments and gradually get rid of the rest. To pick which three departments will stay, she thought it would be best to consult with her shift managers. To her surprise, they had very different opinions on what the three departments should be. Their observations differed depending on what time they worked and whether they were talking about total revenue or profit margin. Because of this, Jill has asked you to analyze the company data so she can make an informed decision. The store’s point- of-sale system can generate a sales report by department—but frankly, the report is a total mess. Jill needs you to make the report from the last two weeks more presentable. Then you should use your findings to give a recommendation that will help her make a decision. 5/5/2021 Project Instructions - MAT-20014-XE120 Spreadsheet Applications 21DA05 https://learn.snhu.edu/d2l/le/content/754585/viewContent/12855023/View 3/6 Direc�ons Part 1: End of Day Report a.

Create a new worksheet in the same spreadsheet. Include the aggregated calculations: these are calculations that combine data from several different places. Your new worksheet should look at both the weekly average and the average for a single day (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) for each of the following areas: 1. The average sales for each department 2. The average cost of purchasing (CoG) these goods for each department Use the appropriate formulas in the spreadsheet. You don’t need to do these calculations yourself (on paper or with a calculator). Instead, use these formulas and functions: 1. SUM 2. AVERAGE 3. PRODUCT or multiplication 4. QUOTIENT or division 5. COUNTIF or COUNTA 6. IF d. Use charts and graphs to accurately display the financial data. This will help your manager quickly make sense of the data. For each display, be sure to create an appropriate title and to label all data directly on your display so that any reader will be able to understand the information you are sharing. Choose two of these items to represent graphically: 1.  A bar chart that shows the average daily revenue (in dollars) for each department 2. A pie chart that shows the average daily gross profit (in dollars) for each department 3. A pie chart that shows the average daily profit margin (in percentages) for each department 4.
