Design a spreadsheet that can be used by a school tuck shop.

Analysis My task is to design a spreadsheet that can be used by a school tuck shop, which can be used to find the following: * Income * Expenditures * Stock amounts * Popularity of products * The selling price of stock * Profit made * Wages of employees * Whether to order more stock The spreadsheet can be used as a model to predict all of these things throughout the three school terms. The product popularity can be used to see what products are most popular and unpopular in the different seasons. This can then be used to order in more or less of a certain product to get maximum profit. The spreadsheet has been designed to calculate the how much profit you make on each item and how much overall after expenses such as electricity and wages have been paid. IF formulas have been used to tell the owner when he/she needs to buy in more of a certain product. By using the relevant information from the spreadsheet, chart can be made. The popularity of items could be shown on the charts. The spreadsheet is set up so that if you change a certain variable, all of the calculations are updated and you are able to predict what will happen. For example: * If VAT rose to 20% on one week * If Electricity costs went up by £3 * If national insurance rose by 3% * If TAX rose by 5% * If certain stock doesn't sell I will use these examples as tests to test out the model

Spreadsheet Project Identify - A couple of months ago my friends and me formed a band called "MISK". As we are new to the field of accountancy, we are finding it hard to keep track of our spendings and savings.

Spreadsheet Project Identify A couple of months ago my friends and me formed a band called "MISK". As we are new to the field of accountancy, we are finding it hard to keep track of our spendings and savings. We also find it hard and time consuming to evenly share out the money between different funds (we have different funds for different things e.g. Drums, Amps etc and they all need different amounts of money) and ideally we need to share out the money proportionally between each fund. So we have all decided that we need something to help us easily manage our finances. I am therefore going to design and make a spreadsheet that will help us keep track and organize any of the little money that we are able to save, and how we should spend it. As our needs and funds will be continuously changing, a spreadsheet is the best solution as it is able to change and react when information is inserted and is able to perform complex equations automatically. A lot of data is to be stored, so a database could be used, but a spreadsheet package is better because complicated calculations will be performed on some of the input data and this can be done on a spreadsheet but not on a database. Another advantage of using a spreadsheet is that I am also able to show tables and other information like information that the other members of the band need to know. I will also be able to email

Reviewing draft documents to produce final versions using tools in Microsoft Word.

Transfer-Encoding: chunked For M2, the evidence can be taken from anywhere. Learners are not required to learn standard proofing symbols, but are expected to make notes or marks on the original document which indicate what has to be done. Evidence will require the initial documents, the final documents and some indication of authenticity of work. Indications of what would be appropriate are included in the relevant section of the PSA. As part of my continued training in my post I am required to maintain and improve my communication skills. I will communicate review draft documents to produce final versions. Spell checker was one tool that I used to review draft documents. I clicked on the Spelling & Grammar option. I then looked to see the options for the misspelt word and then pressed add. I then got a pop up showing that the spelling and grammar were all correct. Spelling and Grammar options are very important to ensure that everything is making sense and everything is spelt correctly. It’s very important that when you hand work in its perfect as if it’s not it will look unprofessional. Sometimes the Spelling and Grammar option may pick out words and spell them the American way. This option should be used with caution. Next I made use of the thesaurus and synonyms options. I right clicked a word that I wanted to change and clicked Synonyms which gave me a

Database Project.

Database Project The Problem: The Drama department have always had a highly under-organised technical store cupboard. In this cupboard, they have a stock of all sorts of technical equipment, such as Lantern Lamps, Dimmer Pack Fuses, 15Amp Extension cables etc. When there is a show in the making at the school, it is very important that the chief technician in charge is aware of what is in stock in the cupboard, and what the department is short of so that it can be ordered in. Therefore it has been suggested that a computer-based database would be extremely useful in order to allow the technicians to easily see what is in stock. Why Access? For this databases, I have chosen to use the program Microsoft Access. This is because it is a program that has been explicitly designed for anybody to design simple databases. In fact, it is such a good program, you can make your database as simple, or as complicated as you require. The program allows the user to create a table for the information to be entered in. In this table, you can have as many or as few fields as you like (fields are where each record is organised into). You can then create different designs for the table, and different forms. With Word, you can only have a table in the document, so it is very easy to accidentally delete work. Like wise with PowerPoint. I could have used Excel, however, it is mainly

Task 2 Design Software Features Software Features Needed Why is this needed? . I must be able to input text. I have been asked to create a text based spreadsheet, so that I can enter descriptions for income and expenditure items. 2. I must be able to copy and paste. I need to insert two tables from shared resources on to my spreadsheet. Copy and paste functions make this task easier and less prone to error. 3. I must be able to make a system that works out all the totals every time someone changes the information. Stuart told me there must be a system that works out all the totals every time someone changes the information. It will make it easier and quicker if someone wants to add more information so they will not have to manually calculate the new totals, with the risk of errors. 4. I must be able to validate cells. I have been told that to create a system so no one can change the table so there are more than 50 floats in the float parade. Validation can be set up to automatically prevent this. 5.
