Nearly half of the customers expected to pay �6 for the service. But more than a quarter of the customer expected to �5 -�5.50. From this I would say �6 would be an affordable price for the customer to pay.

Paying by cash is easy for both customer and cleaner. Here is another pie chart showing the percentages of the customer who had a conservatory at their house.

Conclusion

Microsoft word can be use to send document by attachment using e-mail. I also, used to insert clip art and produce some table. However, Microsoft excel can help to produce table and graph. I find Excel easier than Word to produce table and graph. Most important, for Excel is help produce spreadsheet, for example. I used Excel to produce cash flow forecast, sales forecast, and other financial sector. I found that a lot of time was saved, particularly when changing access in the forecast. For example, if the amount of sales in February was change to �290, on the spreadsheet, the total receipt, and closing balance will all be change automatically. Along with, the opening balance in March and other following months are changing. Generally, the use of computer software help to speed up my tasks and a lot of time saved. Computers are also more accurate and the programmes are easy to use once you cope with it. Specialist software: Business use of software packages, provide a range of activities such as design, stock control, customer accounts, decision making of information and internet selling. Financial and account application is one of the most common area. Accountancy software, are used to record and store financial operations and create financial information such profit and loss account, balance sheet, and creditors and debtors lists. Right choice uses an accountancy, internet and e-mail packages. An accountancy software help to generate profit and loss account and balance sheet for Right Choice. Internet helps to find accessing information and offering services. I sued internet to find information that can be accessed to help in decision making for Right Choice. For example, I visit the websites of business link and HRMC to find out information of financial investment and how to set up a business. I also used e-mail to send equivalent information such as business plan, spreadsheet and reports. Most advantages for e-mail is that information can be sent anywhere around the world. ?? ?? ?? ?? 1 ...read more.
