Excel_8E_Seafood_Inventory
Project Description:
In this project, you will use the moving average tool for Joe Flores, manager of the Dallas region, who wants to analyze the fluctuation in the quantity of shrimp that is used at the four Dallas restaurants and determine the projected break-even point for the year.
Open the Excel workbook Student_Excel_8E_Seafood_Inventory.xlsx downloaded with the Project.
Ensure that the Analysis ToolPak is enabled. On the Moving Average worksheet, insert a Moving Average using the range A5:AB5 as the Input Range. Type 4 as the Interval and use cell A6 as the Output Range. Select only the Chart Output check box; do NOT select the Labels in First Row check box.
Position the chart between cells C8 and Z29, keeping the chart slightly inside the cell borders.
Edit the Vertical (Value) Axis Title to Bags of Shrimp Used. Edit the Horizontal (Category) Axis Title to Four-Week Period
To display the days of the week as the Horizontal (Category) Axis Labels, at the bottom of the chart, point to any of the data points, and then click one time to select the axis. From the Design tab, display the Select Data Source dialog box, and then edit the Horizontal (Category) Axis Labels by selecting the range A4:AB4; click OK two times.
To plot the Forecast series on a secondary axis, on the chart, point to the Series “Forecast” line, double-click the line to display the Format Data Series pane, and then plot the series on the Secondary Axis.
Format the Chart Area and the Plot Area with a Solid fill. As the Color, in the eighth column, click the second color. Format the range D6:AB6 with the Comma [0] cell style.
Display the Projected Income worksheet. In cell C3, construct a formula that takes the previous month’s sales in cell B3 and multiplies it by 110% to determine a growth rate of 10% shown in B13 (1+$b$13). Copy the formula across to cell M3. Copy the formula in cell B9 across to cell M9.
To create a line chart with a second series, select the nonadjacent ranges A2:M3 and A9:M9, and then insert the first Line chart style.
Change the Chart Title to Expected Break-Even Point
Position the chart between cells B15 and M36, keeping the chart slightly inside the cell borders.
Double-click a value on the vertical axis, and then in the Format Axis pane, display the Axis Options. Set the Minimum bounds to 150000 and the Maximum to 500000 to provide more vertical space on the chart to show a more dramatic slope.
Format both the Plot Area and the Chart Area with a Solid fill. As the Color, in the fifth column, click the second color.
Deselect the chart. Select all the sheets, and then display the Page Setup dialog box. Insert a custom footer in the left section that includes the file name, and then center the worksheets horizontally. On the ribbon, set the Orientation to Landscape, and scale the Width to 1 page.
Display the document properties. As the Tags, type Dallas, seafood inventory and as the Subject, type your course name and section number.
Ensure that the worksheets are in this order: Moving Average, Projected Income. Save and close the file and then submit for grading.
