2 Q1. A teacher has a number of students scores to which she wants to assign a grade. Her grading scheme is like this: If the student scores between 90 and 100, both inclusive, the student gets an A; between 80 and 89, both inclusive, B+; between 70 and 79, both inclusive, B; between 60 and 69, both inclusive, B ; between 50 and 59, both inclusive, C+; between 40 and 49, both inclusive, C and under 40, F. Which of the following would give the correct table if she wanted to use VLookup to assign grades? 1) A 2) B 3) C 4) D A B C D Range Grade Range Grade Range Grade Range Grade 100 A 0 F 40 F 0 F 90 B+ 39 C 50 C 40 C 80 B 49 C+ 60 C+ 50 C+ 70 B- 59 B- 70 B- 60 B- 60 C+ 69 B 80 B 70 B 50 C 79 B+ 90 B+ 80 B+ 40 F 89 A 100 A 90 A Copycat Retailing is trying to manage its inventory by implementing a (Q, R) policy, where Q = the amount to order each time an order is placed and R = the Reorder Point the level to which the inventory falls before it triggers an order. Copycat monitors its costs [Stockout ($40): when available inventory cannot meet demand; Order ($100): the cost incurred whenever an order is placed and Inventory ($15): calculated on ending inventory]. It is hoped that the total costs can be minimised by the appropriate choice of Q and R, which are initially set at 70 and 50, respectively. Assume that all orders placed are received first thing the next week, in the ten week analysis shown below. Demand was forecasted as shown. Opening Stock is 80 units, and the exhibit below shows the details of the case. Sales are made based on available inventory and demand. Order? 1 = Yes; 0 = No. Answer the following questions: Q2. What formula goes in F9? Select the best possible answer. A. =D9 B. =IF (D9 E9, D9, E9) C. =MIN (D9, E9) D. =IF (D9 B9+C9, D9, B9+C9) 1) C only 2) Either B or C 3) Either B or C or D 4) B only 2
3 Q3. What formula goes in H9? Select the best possible answer. A. =E9 F9 B. =MAX (E9 F9, E9 D9) C. =MAX (E9 F9, 0) D. =IF (E9 D9, E9 D9, 0) 1) Either C or D only 2) B only 3) D only 4) None of the above Q4. What formula goes in I9? Select the best possible answer based on good spreadsheet principles. 1) =IF (H9 70, 1, 0) 2) =IF (H9 B4, 1, 0) 3) =IF (H9 < 50, 1, 0) 4) =IF (H9 = B4, 1, 0) 3
4 Q5. Using the same case, Copycat wants to evaluate different order quantities to see the effect on average closing inventory and will do so in cells A23:B29, what Function & formula will be tried? 1) Data Table, Set Cell = H19, Changing cell = B4 2) Data Table, B23 = B4, Row input = H19 3) Data Table, B23 = H19, Column input = B4 4) Data Table, B23 = M19, Column input = H19 The above spreadsheet has a list of cars (Make, Model, Date, Quantity, and Value). The database goes from A1:E40 with row one (1) having the headings. The makes are Toyota, China Town, BMW, Nissan, Honda and Suzuki. The China Town model is a clone sold in Asia and parts of the Caribbean. They copy the brand name cars and sell them profitably, without having invested in research and development. Some of their models are Camry, Prado, Cefiro and X-Trail. Answer questions 6 and 7 all based on SUMPRODUCT 4
