MICROSOFT EXCEL
To demonstrate your skill with Microsoft Excel, you’ll create two separate Excel files.
SCENARIO
Inventory and Payroll are two of the most common uses for Excel. For the first Excel file you will create an Inventory spreadsheet based on the given scenario. For the second excel spreadsheet you will create a payroll based ion the given scenario.
The Inventory scenario is based on a fictitious custom bike builder. Of course, the data given for the scenario is a small sampling of what a shop’s inventory would be. The data represents an end of month quantity and is being used to determine, the balance on hand and which items need to be reorder, if any.
The Payroll scenario is, of course, also just a snapshot of the calculations needed for a company’s payroll.
In an Excel file named Inventory create three sheets named Inventory, Bikes_Made, and Items_Used. Input the data given here. (You should use the previous year for the date.) In addition to the columns given in the inventory data table, add three more columns on your sheet named Balance on Hand, Value of Inventory, and Reorder.
Create a simple formula to calculate the Value of Inventory and complex formulas using the using the data from the three separate sheets to calculate the balance on hand whether the balance on hand is enough, or it is time to reorder the item. If it is time to reorder the item, the cell should contain the word REORDER and the cell should be filled with the color red.
Enter the data listed below.

OO 4/1/xx, 12 H Front Brakes, unit cost $3.75, invoice number RG970563 OO 4/4/20xx, 22 20”R Rims, unit cost $24.00, invoice number ED99123

PAYROLL
Create an Excel spreadsheet named Payroll.
Columns: Name, class, clock hours, gross earnings, health deductions, pension annuity, general deductions, and net earnings.
The spreadsheet should show a grand total for clock hours, gross earnings, health deductions, pension annuity, general deductions, and net earnings.
