Instructions to download and unzip the file needed to perform this practice exam.

Go to the Practice Exam Files Download web page: http://cs12.cs.qc.cuny.edu/practice.html


on the CSCI 012 Lab Website to follow the instructions to obtain the practice exam files.

Open the file Practice_1 and save it with the name Practice_1_Solution.

Note: Each section in this exam corresponds to one of the worksheets in the spreadsheet file.
For example, Salary corresponds to the Salary worksheet in the spreadsheet file.

Salary:
1. Center and merge Expert Software Company across cells A1 through F1. Change its
font size to 16 and font color to dark blue. Change the background color of the cell
containing Expert Software Company to yellow and change the height of row one to
25.50.

2. Adjust column widths and use functions when necessary. Enter formulas to fill in cells
according to the following:

Commission in cell D4: The salesperson’s commission is based upon their total sales. If
the salesperson’s total sales are greater than or equal to $50,000 then the commission is
the total sales multiplied by the commission percentage of 4%; otherwise (total sales is
less than $50,000) the commission is the total sales multiplied by the commission
percentage of 3%.

See the Commission Percentages table in the Salary worksheet. Remember to use the
percentage’s cell address in your formula rather than the percentage’s actual numeric
value. Remember to use the commission threshold’s cell address in your formula rather
than the actual numeric value of 50000.

Total Salary in cell E4: The salesperson’s total salary is the base salary plus the
commission.

Salesperson’s Evaluation in cell F4: Based on the salesperson’s total sales, use
VLOOKUP to assign the salesperson an evaluation remark (excellent, good, fair or poor)
according to the Evaluation Criteria found in the Salary worksheet. For example, if the
salesperson’s total sales are greater than or equal to $50,000 but less than $75,000 then
the evaluation remark returned by VLOOKUP is Good.

Copy the formulas in cells D4:F4 to the 13 rows below row 4, rows 5 to 17.

Average Total Salary in cell E19: The average of the total salaries.

1
Highest Total Salary in cell E20: The highest total salary amongst all salespersons.

Lowest Total Salary in cell E21: The lowest total salary amongst all salespersons.

3. Format all new numeric values to currency with 0 decimal places.

4. Insert a row between the rows containing the names Carson, Kit and Coulter, Sara.

Commission, Total Salary and Salesperson’s Evaluation.
