For this exercise, you will create a spreadsheet to enter a personal budget and track actual expenses for the year. You may choose to use real data or create a fictitious budget using a monthly income amount of $3,500Here are suggested budget categories if you are not using a real budget. At a minimum, you must have 9 budget categories:Housing (mortgage or rent)FoodUtilitiesMiscellaneousCar paymentEntertainmentInsuranceGasStudent LoansSavingsNote: there are several tutorials on Excel functions that can be found in the topic labeled “Optional Tutorials – Excel project” in the Content (Readings) list for Week 1.RequirementPoints AllocatedComments1Open Excel and save a blank worksheet with the following name:“Student’s First InitialLast Name Excel”Example: JSmith ExcelSet Page Layout to Landscape0.1Use Print Preview to review how spreadsheet would print.2In the worksheet, insert a Custom Headertitled, “My PersonalBudget.”0.25This Custom Header text must be Arial 14 point, Bold, and be centered on the page.3Add a custom Footerwith your name in the Left Section and automatic pagination in the Right Section.Put a fixed date (use the date this assignment is due) in the center portion of the footer.0.3Text format is Arial 10 pointNormal.4Enter column headings :BUDGET ITEM, PROJECTED COSTSand the 12 months for the year: JANUARY THROUGH DECEMBERYou may abbreviate the months as follows: JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC0.3All column headings must use the following text formatting:Arial 10 pointBoldText centered in columnAll capital letters5Enter your personal budget categories/labels(either your own or the list provided) in the rows under the column headingBUDGET ITEM.A minimum of 9 categories is required.0.25Text format is Arial 10 point, Normal.Align text Left in the cell.6Format all cells containing numeric data toCurrency, using two decimal places. If you have this set up correctly MS Excel will automatically insert a “$” in front of the amounts that you enter.0.25I will be able to tell if you simply typed in the “$.” This will result in zero (0) points for this item. If any other format is used besidesCurrency, the score will be zero (0) for this component.7In the column under your PROJECTED COSTSlabel, enter a monthly budget goal amount for each BUDGET ITEM category. This would be the limit of what you want to spend on each category in one month’s time.0.25Arial 10 pointBoldBlackAlign values Right in column8Enter the label “PROJECTED BUDGET TOTAL:” in the next rowin the BUDGET ITEM column.0.1Use the following formats:Arial 10 pointBoldBlueAlign text Right in the cell9Use the SUM function to calculate the total amount of the PROJECTED COSTS column in the cell to the right of this label (under the PROJECTED COSTS values). (This amount should equal your income amount of $3,500 or your selected budget goal.)Note: do not enter each cell in the column individually when using the SUM function.Note: this amount should appear in ONLY ONE cell (not copied to remaining cells in the same row).0.3Arial 10 pointNormalBlackAlign values Right in the cell10Under the heading for each Month, enter an actual expense amount for that item for that month. (For example, in the winter months, your utility bills might be higher). While some items might be the same from month to month, DO NOT enter the same amount for all items across the months. In each month you want to be close to you monthly income number but do not always have to match it exactly.0.3Use the following text format:Arial 10 pointNormalAlign values Right in the cell11In the next row in the BUDGETITEM column(under the PROJECTED BUDGET TOTALlabel) enter the label “Total Monthly Expenses.”0.1Use the following text format:Arial 10 pointBoldGreenAlign text Right in the cell12For the cells in this Total Monthly Expenses row, insert a formula that will calculate the total actual expenses for each month. Use the SUM function to add the amounts in each column and show the result. Note: do not enter each cell in the column individually when using the SUM function.NOTE: do not include empty cells in your formula.0.513In the next row under the “Total Monthly Expenses” label put the label “Projected versus Actuals.”`0.1Use the following text format:Arial 10 pointBoldBlackAlign text Right in the cell14Then in the cell under the Total Monthly Expenses for each month, use a formula that will subtract the actual total expenses for the month from the projected budget total(the target amount in the PROJECTED BUDGET TOTALcolumn).You must use Absolute Reference in your formulaIf the result of your calculation is a positive number, then you are under budget for the month. (You have money left over). If the number is negative, then you are over budget for the month. (You didn’t have enough money to pay all of the expenses that month).*You will use the result of this calculation to answer Question 3 below0.515Enter a column label titled “Total” to the right of your last month.0.1Format – for all cells in this column:Arial 10 pointBoldBlueAlign center in cell16Enter a formula using the AutoSum drop-down option on your tool bar and insert the Sum function in the first budget item row, under Total. Then copy this formula down for all the other categories. This will calculate the total expenditures for each BUDGET ITEM in your budget list over the span of the year.NOTE: Be certain to total just the months; do not include the PROJECTED COSTS column.NOTE: do not enter each cell in the row individually when using the SUM function0.5Use the following formats:Arial 10 pointBoldBlueAlign values Right in the cell –You must use Excel to build a formula for adding the item amounts. If you simply type in a total, I will be able to tell and will award zero (0) points for this component.17Enter a column label titled “Item Average” to the right of the Item “Total” column.0.1Format this label:Arial 10 pointBoldBlackAlign center in cell18Enter a formula using the AutoSum drop-down option on your tool bar and insert the Average function of your expenses from January through December in the first budget item row, under the label “Item Average Expense.” Then copy this formula down for all the other categories.Note: do not enter each cell in the row individually when using the AVERAGE function0.5Use the following text format:Arial 10 pointBoldBlackAlign text right in the cell19Apply All Borders to the spreadsheet area only. This means that there will be lines around all the individual cells that make up your spreadsheet. Format your first row (column headings) by shading it to distinguish the headings from the number entries.These headings should alreadyBold.Ensure that all column headings and row labels are fully visible. Either use Wrap Text OR expand the column width so that no labels are truncated.0.5Overall, format the spreadsheet for readability and clarity. Be sure font size and type are used consistently. Use color appropriately to improve the appearance.20Create a pie chart that shows the items listed in yourtotal PROJECTED COSTS column as slices of the pie chart. (Note: This is budget not actual expense items.). You will use two columns for your chart – the BUDGET ITEM column and the PROJECTED COSTS column.Center the chart in the space below your budget numbers & expenses on the first page (the spreadsheet might take up multiple pages in Print View. You may need to resize the chart to do this. Check the Print view to ensure that the chart is centered below the spreadsheet cells on page 1.0.521Title the pie chart: “My PersonalBudget”0.222Show dollar amounts on each segment of the chart.0.2523Chart LegendEnsure that all segments are clearly identifiable from your legend (on the right-hand side). The legend should contain your BUDGETITEM list and be color-coded to match the chart.0.524Rename your sheet tab from “Sheet 1” to “Budget2016” in the Sheet Tab area at the bottom left side of the spreadsheet.Delete unused sheets.0.25For the questions below, you can present your answers in a very readable format by typing your answer in one cell (in Column A), then highlighting and selecting several rows and columns, selecting merge cells and selecting Wrap Text. You will want to change the text from Center to Left justification. Play with this a bit. If you simply type your answer on a single line in Column A, that will also be ok.But be sure the entire answer can be read without the reader having to change any formatting.25Question1: If you receiveda $1000 bonus one month, how would you divide it to spend among the nine budget categories (in your PROJECTED COSTS) and why?Label your response Question 1.

These 3 assignments are due on separate dates. See the Course Schedule for due dates.NOTE: the standard applications to use for these 3 assignments are those within Microsoft Office. MS Access is available only in the Professional OFFICE package. If you are a MAC user OR if you have absolutely no way to use a machine on which MS Access has been loaded, you may download and use OpenOffice/Open Libre – for the database project only. Please inform your instructor if you are going to use Open Office for the database assignment.Instructions for installing Open Office can be found in “Open Office – Database Alternative for Mac OS X” under the Office Resources topic.Case Study – Director’s RequirementsYour office has outgrown its old desktop machines and is in the market for new PCs, but would like some guidance on what to purchase. The Director wants to ensure that the office obtains PC machines that meet the requirements stated below. You, as an employee of a small educational company, have been tasked to buy 5 PCs and associated equipment for the office. You only need to determine the specifications for ONE PC, not five. The office will likely buy five of the same computer model/configurations you propose. But remember to also define the components needed to create a network so that the 5 computers can communicate with each other and connect to the internet.The Director has defined some capabilities that the PCs will need to have to ensure optimal performance. These tasks and system needs are collectively the office’s requirements. The requirements are as follows:1. Create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and send and receive email.2. Participate in online video conferences, web courses and forums (the Director is a part-time professor at a local university).3. Create and edit audio and video files and share video and audio files via emails, instant messaging, and in chat rooms via mobile devices.4. Create small databases to manage all audio, video and photo data.5. Take high quality digital photos and videosand download them to the PC as well as scan and edit the photos and videos. Manipulate/edit various image and video formats (in the relevant table,please specify at least two image and two video formats that can be accommodated by your solution(s)). .6. Print documents to include photo quality color printing.7. Manipulate pdf files, including editing pdfs, conversion from pdf to Word and vice versa.8. Transfer information (audio, video and photos) between PC machines.9. Manage the Director’s schedule by using an online calendar and day planner.10.Utilize the internetto make online purchases, conduct banking services and research new audio, video and photoediting methods using a broadband service (in the relevant table,please specify service provider).11.Connect all required peripheral devices you deem necessary to the system unit.12.Protect the PC and all components from dirty electrical power including under voltage (brownout or blackout) and overvoltage (power surge or spike).13.Manage and protect the system, data, and information while working on the Internetincluding scanning all incoming emails, email attachments, and files downloaded from Web-based sources; firewall, virus and spyware (security) protection; and checking websites for phishing and fraudulent activities.Your specification must address each of the 13 items listed in the requirements.Case Study- Director’s Request for PCs using MS Word Table, MS Access, and MS PowerPointCase Study – Using MS Office 2010 / 2013 / 365 Please use the document “READ FIRST – Case Study Instructions – Director’s Requirements” for each of the parts described below.Part 1: Specifications Table (MS Word)Use the project description HERE to complete this activity. For a review of the complete rubric used in grading this exercise, click on the Assignments tab, then on the titleCase Study Part 1 – PC Specs (Word)–click on Show Paper Writing Service – Topic Examples – Rubrics if the rubric is not already displayed.For the case study provided to you, create MS Word tablesthat identify and contain the hardware and software requirements to meet the director’s requirements. TheMS Word document in its final form will include 6 MS Word tables. It will includea two-paragraph narrative summary that classifies the user type and identifies the PC categorythat will be recommended. The specific instructions are found in the table at the end of this file.Students are expected to conduct external research to adequately address all aspects of the assignment requirements.It is suggested that students use a computer manufacturer’s site (i.e., Apple, Dell, Toshiba) to help in identifying all the components needed to meet the director’s requirements. Remember, although there are 5 computers to be purchased, you are required to configure only one, as the same onemay be purchased for all 5 employees.Any outside sources should be correctly cited in APA style at the end of the table.Students will need to include specific requirements from the case study to show why each item is being recommended.Each element listed below must be incorporated into the assignment. Omissions will result in loss of points.Make and model and description are required, when at all possible.. For example, if the solution suggested is a 32” IBM Monitor, say so.Do not just say monitor because that does not provide sufficient information for a purchase.It is not necessary, for example, to identify the make and model of a USB port.You must also consider components that may be a part of a machine or device. For example, the System Unit table will require elements such as USB ports. The monitor and mouse are typically separate devices on a desktop, but on a laptop or tablet they are often integrated. You should identify the various forms of input and output for your computer(s) on the Hardware table, whether they are separate devices or integrated elements.There should be sufficient detail in this case study for procurement/purchasing personnel to buy the systems. Details are crucial.Don’t focus on web references as to where the equipment can be found, although you may include your source(s). Focus on a solution to specific requirements.Do not ‘number’ requirements in your table, even though they are numbered in the “Case Study – Director’s Requirements’ document. In many cases there are several requirements expressed in a single numbered listing. It’s important that you are clear about which requirement is addressed by a specific piece of hardware or software.All identified hardware and software and relevant requirements must be listed in the tables. Mentioning an item or a requirement in the two paragraph narrative is perfectly ok, but it must also be in the tables.Additional information:You are supposed to tie back your recommended specs to all of the original requirements. Spell out the requirements that apply to your selection of hardware, etc and do so in the tables. Your customer would not appreciate having to go guess as to which requirement is being met by your items.Don’t forget the components necessary for the computers to communicate with each other and connect to the internet.Suggested layout for the tables (other layouts are possible):Three columns: Group (Input, Output, Etc), Device, Requirement; then one row for each Device. Arrange your tables so that you don’t leave lots of blank rows. See the Sample Tables for suggested layouts. These samples can be found in the topic labeled “Optional Tutorials-Word project” in the Readings for Week 4.Include details where it makes sense. For example:Scanner. This isn’t enough information to tell what the device is capable of. The customer wants to know how it’s “tricked out”. What model is it? Is it an All-In-One or standalone (why?)? How much RAM does it have? Does it have wireless capability? Can it accept camera memory cards? What resolution can it handle? Adapter Cards. Your customer wants to create and edit high quality photos and videos. This usually means you’ll need a beefed-up graphics adapter. Be prepared to answer these questions: What model is it? How much RAM does it have? Is it integrated or discrete? This means you need to understand a little about graphics cards. Integrated means it is a chip (not an actual card) that is part of the motherboard. Typically, integrated video is ok but not as powerful as discrete video cards. These are actual adapter cards that have lots more circuitry and dedicated RAM than the smaller integrated chips. So they are more powerful and better for the customer’s requirements.Monitor. While the software applications actually enable video creation and editing, the hardware enables the “high quality” requirement. You can hook up a display to the standard VGA port on the computer. However, the newer machines come with HDMI ports, which enables High Definition displays. If the recommended desktop or laptop has an HDMI port the user can get full 1080p on the video display unit. These specifications may satisfy the customer’s requirement to create and edit high quality digital photos and videos. Ports. Everybody needs ports, right? I just described an important one – HDMI. How about Ethernet, SATA, FireWire, USB (2.0 or 3.0), media cards? Think of the data transfer/exchange requirements and what kind of speeds are necessary to make them work effectively. External Storage. The customer may want users to exchange data quickly. Are CDs or DVDs the way to go? What about USB flash memory cards? Or some kind of network storage?Here are the specific instructions:Element#RequirementPoints AllocatedComments01Open and save an MS Word document with the following name:“Student’s Last Name Specs”Example: Smith SpecsSet normal text to Arial, 12 point.Create a Title Page which shows title, your first and last name, course and due date.0.2This is the font in normal paragraphs.

For a review of the complete rubric used in grading this exercise, click on the Assignments tab, then on the titleCase Study Part 2 – Provider Database (Access)–click on Show Paper Writing Service – Topic Examples – Rubrics if the rubric is not already displayed.As you recall, data is a collection of facts (numbers, text, even audio and video files) that is processed into usable information. Much like a spreadsheet, a database is a collection of such facts that you can then slice and dice in various ways to extract information or make decisions. However, the advantage and primary use of a database over a spreadsheet is its ability to handle a large volume of data and yet allow for quick access to the information that is desired.Databases are everywhere now and impact our lives in a multitude of ways. It can accurately be said that “your life is in a database” or, more accurately, in multiple databases, and information about you (a retrieval of facts about you) is easily accessible. Your shopping history, credit history, medical history, even your driving history, is stored in one or more databases.This exercise will introduce you to the basic building blocks of any database – fields, records, and files (also called tables). Although you will create a database with a single table containing a small amount of data about computer component Providers, the more applicable use of databases involves the creation of many tables linked together with a common field or “key.” Regardless of the size of the database, the data is stored in the same way – in fields which are combined to create a record. And those records are stored in a file or table. The data is entered into the field via a data entry form, and the information is extracted (to answer a particular question or need) via reports and/or queries. Note that Access uses the Field Size parameter in Design View to limit the number of characters or digits in a given field. There is a small tutorial on field sizes located in the topic “Optional Tutorial – Access project” in the Readings list for Week 5.Specific instructions for the project can be found in the table below.Create a provider database and related reports and queries to capture contact information for potential PC componentproviders that might be used to purchase the equipment your specified in your MS Word project – the PC specifications..This MS Access database assignment has the following parts:a simple database table to hold provider contact information;some of the required fields in the table require that a Caption be added to the field characteristics. The Caption will be displayed in the report that is to be generated.a simple database form that can be used to enter data into the database table;two simple database reports that can used to present the data as information; anda separate MS Word document answering questions about the database.All aspects of the assignment will be evaluated according to the following criteria and overall professional, business-like appearance. This would include clear readability and formatting for both screen and print-based output.Element#RequirementPoints AllocatedComments01· Launch MS Access and open a Blank Access database.· Save the new database with the following name:“Student’s First Initial Last Name Provider Information”Example: JSmithProvider Information0.05Create a table with all the following fields and settings: (each letter indicates a separate field)Field names should be exactly as listed here (e.g. “Provider ID” or “Provider’s Company Name”, etc.)02ProviderID (autonumber)Set as primary key and is auto number0.2The Provider ID field must be set as the primary key (*).
