 1. (TCO 1) You work for a local construction firm, "DeVry Engineering Group" and your supervisor wants to test your knowledge and skills with Microsoft Excel and has instructed you to develop a spreadsheet to calculate weekly payroll for “15” employees with the following assumptions:

Note: This is a one part question.

 • Each employee could have a standard hourly rate between $10.00 and $30.00 per hour.
 • Each employee qualifies to earn overtime at a rate of 1.5 of his or her hourly rate for every hour greater than 40 hours.
 • Each employee will have a standard 7.65% deduction for social security
 • Each employee will have a standard 14.00% deduction for Federal Taxes
 • Each employee will have a standard 5.33% deduction for State Taxes
 Explain how you will structure and format your worksheet, including titles, column headings, and formulas to calculate payroll variables for each employee to determine "Net Pay" including and not limited to Total Hours, Gross Pay, Social Security Tax, Federal Withholding Tax, and Sate Withholding Tax.  In addition, determine how you would extract overtime hours from a calculated value of "Total Hours" using a conditional formula.

 In addition, your supervisor will need this weekly payroll report on a weekly basis and instructed you to keep the payroll history of all weeks within "1" workbook but has allowed you to decide if you would rather keep the payroll running on one worksheet or by assigning a new worksheet for each week.  Using your knowledge learned in this class, descriptively explain whether you would keep all weekly payrolls in one worksheet or assigned to new worksheets by week.

The company currently has three locations (North, South, and Central) in one state.  Each parts supply store carries inventory in four categories.

Based on this information, you're tasked with analyzing current sales for each store by category and overall total sales by store and category.
 Note: This is a four part question.

1.) Explain your approach to setting up your worksheets and organizing the data.

 2.) Explain how you will visually represent the data for the total sales of the individual inventory categories for each location for the time periods shown.

If you want to study abroad, you can take the kids. Lots of students who happen to have kids of their own don't consider studying abroad because they believe it's impossible with a child. Consult with the school counsellors or study abroad coordinators to find out what's possible. Look into these things and don't rule out study abroad opportunities just because you have a family.
