Rationale for SBA

The SBA is designed to give students the opportunity to demonstrate,


on a timely basis, their ability to solve problems using computer
applications such as:
                  Database Management
                  Spreadsheet
                  Word Processing
                  Programming Language

Students must ensure they have the necessary backups of their work
as this will alleviate any undue delay of submission caused by
malfunctioning thumb drives, hard drives, etc. A good backup is for
students to email their work to themselves periodically.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DASHY’S BOUTIQUE is a prominent clothing business located in Sunshine Mall in St. Ann in the island of
Jamaica. The business has been using the manual methods of operations in all areas of their business. This
year the company's management team has decided to computerize its operations for the efficient running of
the business. The computer system they purchased came with general purpose software that has  Word-
processor,
Spreadsheet , Database Management components and a Pascal Compiler
As a test, the owner of the business would like you to use the various software applications to carry out the
following tasks for the month of November.
1.       Produce a brochure for DASHY’S BOUTIQUE that informs the public about the business and details
of the   upcoming Christmas sale.
2. . Analysis of the salary details of the employees for the month.
3. Storage of personal information of employees and their sales details.
4. Preparation of letters for the outstanding employees, who achieved their sales target, informing them
about their commission amounts.
    5.  Develop an algorithm and Pascal code to calculate and provide relevant salary information for
employees.
   

SECTIONA-SPREADSHEET

The spreadsheet package will be used to create a model that will allow the owner of the boutique to
manipulate and monitor the monthly salary details of the employees.

Currently, there are 30 employees at DASHY’S BOUTIQUE. There are FIVE (5) categories of employees and
EACH category attracts a different basic monthly salary. There are SIX (6) supervisors, EIGHTEEN (18)

Allowance and Entertainment Allowance. The deductions are Personal Loan, Health Insurance and

TASKA

You are required to:


(a)   Create a workbook – (DASHY’S_BOUTIQUE -Your name) with multiple worksheets that will
enable the owner of the business to easily analyze, modify and monitor the salary information and details of
the 30 employees for November 2015. Data to be recorded include:
  IDNUM      (employee's initials and three (3) digits, e.g. the employee George Brown has the employee ID:  
GB102.)
  First Name
  Last Name
  Category Code

(b)  Use appropriate functions /formulae to calculate:


                  Basic Salary
                  Allowances
                  Deductions
                  Total Allowances
                  Total Deductions

Save the sheet as Payroll_Task_1


c.  Add extra columns to include the Gross Income and Net Income.
i.           Gross Income is calculated by adding the Basic Salary to the Allowances (Basic Salary +
         Allowances).
ii.          Net Income is calculated by subtracting the Deductions from Gross Income (Gross Income –
         Deductions).
d.   Include a row to calculate the totals of each of the numeric columns.

TASKB
a.   Make a copy of Payroll_Task_1. Name this sheet Payroll_Task_2.
b.   The third employee on your list got a new job and he/she resigned from his post at DASHY’S
BOUTIQUE.
     Remove this employee’s data from your spreadsheet.
c.   The management team decided to change the Daily Allowance (DA) rate to 13.5%. Adjust this
allowance                 in your  worksheet.
d.   Sort the worksheet of TASK B by Category Code, then by Last Name.
e.     In an appropriate section of the worksheet use advanced filter to extract information for all
employees whose  
     Last Name begins with the letter 'B' and is in the Sales Staff category.
                                                                                                                                                             
                             
TASK C
a.               Make a copy of Payroll_Task_2. Name this sheet Payroll_Task_3.  
b.              Create a Column Chart to compare the Net Income and Gross Income for EACH Category. The chart
should be labeled with appropriate title and axis or legend. Save in a separate sheet named  CCIncome.
c.               Create a Pie Chart that compares the Allowances paid for the month. The chart should be labelled with
an appropriate title and legend and each slice of the pie should display the percentage. Save in a separate
sheet named PCAllow.

It is suggested that you use cell references in formulae so that the spreadsheet can be used for future
calculations with minimum modifications. Use suitable functions e.g. “VLOOKUP”, “IF” and “SUM” to
ensure that your spreadsheet is efficient. Use formatting features and labels to allow clarity of your worksheet
(example bold, decimal places, $, etc.

g.   TO BE PRINTED
 a. All worksheets
 b. All formula sheets
 c. Both Charts
