PROJECT STEPS 1. Kylie and Derek Hurdy own Hurdy Headphones, a company that manufactures wireless and noise-cancelling headphones and personalized earphones in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As an intern at the company, you are developing a workbook that includes the financial details of each product line. Kylie and Derek have asked you to use the data to analyze scenarios that involve cutting expenses and raising prices. They want you to find the most profitable mix of products using the most cost-effective means of production. Switch to the Wireless worksheet. Perform a break-even analysis for wireless headphones as follows: a. In cell B27, use Goal Seek to set cell B27 to a value of 0. New Perspectives Excel 2016 | Module 10: SAM Project 1a b. 2. 3. Change the number of units sold in cell B26 to break even, or reach a Gross Profit of $0. (Hint: The number format applied to cell B27 will display the value of $0 as $ -.) Create a one-variable data table to calculate sales, expenses, and profits based on the number of wireless headphones sold as follows: a. In cell D5, enter a formula that references cell B4, which is the expected units sold for this product. b. In cell E5, enter a formula that references cell B19, which is the expected total sales for this product. c. In cell F5, enter a formula that references cell B20, which is the expected total expenses for this product. d. In cell G5, enter a formula that references cell B21, which is the expected gross profit for this product. e. Select the range D5:G10 and then complete the one-variable data table, using cell B4 as the Column input cell for your data table. Create a two-variable data table to calculate the gross profit based on the number of wireless headphones sold and the price per unit: a. For the range D14:K19, create a two-variable data table using the price per unit (cell B5) as the Row input cell. b. Use the units sold (cell B4) as the Column input cell. 4. Apply a custom format to cell D14 to display the text Units Sold/Price in place of the cell value. 5. Switch to the Noise-Cancelling worksheet. Create a Scatter with Straight Lines chart based on range D4:F14 in the data table Noise-Cancelling – BreakEven Analysis. 6. Modify the new chart as follows: 7. 8. a. Resize and reposition the chart so that it covers the range D15:H32. b. Remove the chart title from the chart. c. Add Sales and Expenses as the vertical axis title and Units Sold as the horizontal axis title. Change the Bounds Axis Options as follows: a. Change the Minimum Bounds of the vertical axis to 1750000 and the Maximum Bounds to 2650000. b. Change the number format of the vertical axis to Currency with 0 decimal places and $ as the symbol. c. Change the Minimum Bounds of the horizontal axis to 8500. (Hint: The Maximum Bounds should automatically change to 12,500.) Create two scenarios to compare the costs for standard components and green components in the noise-cancelling headphones as follows: New Perspectives Excel 2016 | Module 10: SAM Project 1a a. In the Scenario Manager, add two scenarios using the data shown in bold in Table 1 below. b. The changing cells for both scenarios are the nonadjacent cells B11 and B14. c. Close the Scenario Manager without showing any of the scenarios. Table 1: Noise-Cancelling Headphones Scenario Values Values Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario Name Standard Environmental Noise_Cancelling_Variable_Cost (B11) 179.00 182.50 Noise_Cancelling_Fixed_Cost (B14) 300000 350000 9. Switch to the Earphones worksheet. Create a Scatter with Straight Lines chart based on range D6:I14 in the data table Personalized Earphones – Net Income Analysis. 10. Modify the new chart as follows: 11. 12. a. Resize and reposition the chart so that it covers the range D15:I32. b. Remove the chart title from the chart. c. Reposition the chart legend to the Right of the chart. d. Add Net Income as the vertical axis title and Units Sold as the horizontal axis title. e. Change the colors of the chart to Color 5 (1st row in the Monochromatic palette). (Hint: Depending on your version of Office, the name of the color may be different.) Change the Bounds Axis Options for the new chart as follows: a. Change the Minimum Bounds of the vertical axis to -100000 and the Maximum Bounds to 620000. b. Change the number format of the vertical axis to Currency with 0 decimal places and $ as the symbol. c. Change the Minimum Bounds of the horizontal axis to 10500 and the Maximum Bounds to 14500. Edit the chart series names as follows: a. For Series 1, set the series name to cell E5. (Hint: The series name should automatically update to “=’Earphones’!$E$5”.) b. For Series 2, set the series name to cell F5. New Perspectives Excel 2016 | Module 10: SAM Project 1a 13. c. For Series 3, set the series name to cell G5. d. For Series 4, set the series name to cell H5. e. For Series 5, set the series name to cell I5. Hurdy Headphones wants to determine whether subcontracting the manufacture of their personalized earphones to other electronics companies would reduce the costs of the earphones. Switch to the Earphone Suppliers worksheet, and then run Solver to solve this problem as follows: a. Set the objective as minimizing the value in cell E10 (Total Costs). b. Use the range B4:D4 as the changing variable cells. c. Adjust the number of units produced by each company using the following constraints: d. o E4=12500, the total number of earphones produces o E10
