 Description of the Project

Mr. Dwyer owns a small construction business with services such as renovation, remodeling,
design/build and upgrades with six employees. He owns the Cranes, Dump truck, excavator and
asks you to help him to track customer service dates, payments and construction revenue. He
uses a book to hold details of his customers and payments, and the prices of the various services
and he wants to move to an electronic system. He is considering using a loan to purchase some
more equipment. To help Mr. Dwyer you need to work with different application software
including word-processing, web page design, spreadsheet, database management and a suitable
programming language.

Spreadsheet
You are required to:

Task 1
1. Create a workbook with multiple worksheets that contains information on customers,
payment, services and prices. Data to be recorded include:

 Customer ID number (customer’s initials and three (3) digits eg. the customer Roy
Reid has the customer ID: RR100)
 Customer First Name
 Customer Last Name
 Service ID
 Service Day (For eg. Monday, Tuesday etc.)
 Pay ID
 Amount Paid
 Payment Date
 Comment
 Service Type
 Cost
2. Add an additional suitable field to the Customer table.

3. Ensure that you have a MINIMUM of:

Four types of service: three services must be Renovation, Design/Build, and Remodeling
b. Ten customers
c. Twenty-five payments. Note that you can add more than one payment for a customer,
but all 10 customers must have used Mr. Dwyer ’s services.

Format the data in the sheet as follows:

a. Increase the font size of all headings to 14 points.

b. Use the wrap text feature for the Amount Paid and Payment Date headings.
c. Sort the data by the Service Type field in ascending order.
d. In row 1 of the next blank column, type the heading Discount. In this column use
functions and/or formulas to deduct 10% on every job carried out on Monday, otherwise
leave the cell blank. Place the 10% value in a new sheet, renamed as EXTRA. Format the
column for currency with no decimal places.

Task 2
1. Use the following layout to compare the total amount paid by customers and the total cost
of the jobs. Be sure to deduct the discounts applied.
Total Paid by customers

Total Cost of services

Overall

4. Select the range of text and data in the above layout and name it as Summary.
5. Supplies for the construction equipment are estimated at 8% of the total amount paid by
customers. Calculate the amount paid in supplies. Place the 8% in the EXTRA sheet.
6. Use the advanced filter feature to extract data for customers who paid on a specific date of
your choice.

Charting and Summary Operations

7. Use the pivot table feature to determine how much money Mr. Dwyer should be earning from
each type of service. Rename this sheet as Service.
8. Create only one of the following charts: EITHER compare the total money paid by customers
with total cost of services OR create a chart from the data in the Service sheet.

Save spreadsheet as CustomerData_FirstName_LastName

Database Management
To replace Mr. Dwyer ’s book you will create a database containing information on customers,
payment, services and prices. Import a table from the spreadsheet with information on Customers
such as: Customer ID number, Customer First Name, Customer Last Name etc.
Design and create a database with following tables and fields. Determine the most appropriate
data type for each field and select suitable primary keys.

Table name Customer Payment Price Job

Description of Customer’s Captures the Various Day of service
table name, and other date of payments descriptions and (Mon to Sat) and
information by customers fees for the the type of
services service required
Field#1 CUSTID PayID ServID CUSTID
Field#2 CustFName CUSTID ServiceType ServID
Field#3 CustLName Amount Paid Cost ServiceDay
Field#4 Payment Date
Field#5 Comments

2. Join pairs of tables to link the data.

Queries
4. Create the following queries to answer Mr. Dwyer ’s questions:
a. List the customers who have requested one type of service (for example, remodeling), along
with their service day. Include customers’ first and last names. Sort the list by last name. Name
this query Q1Service.
b. List the customers who have requested Design/Build on Friday. Name this query Q2DBFri.
c. Create a new field called Increase which shows the updated cost when 10% is added to the
original cost. Include the Cost field. Format the new field for currency. Name this query Q3
Increase.

Forms
5. Create a form to enter customer payments. Use the CUSTID, CustFName and CustLName
fields for the main form, and the Amount Paid, Payment Date and Comment fields for the sub-
form. Save the title of the main form as PAYMENTS FORM.

this website that would be used to keep his current and potential customers informed about any
specials and updated construction services.

processing.

business.

e. Follow the SBA guidelines for placing the link to the web page and screenshots at the end
of the word-processing document.

Problem-Solving
Ordower is thinking of purchasing some new equipment. He is thinking of investing twice the
amount of money that he made for the year or $12,000, whichever is greater. He has checked
with three banks and their interest rates and repayment periods in years are: Bank A: 7.25% over
3 years; Bank B: 6.75% over 4 years and Bank C: 6.45% over 5 years. You need to help Mr.
Dwyer to determine what his monthly payments will be for each of these options, including his
total loan repayment amount and recommend which option he should choose.
1. Create an algorithm to input the loan amount, interest rate and number of years to repay and
then output the monthly payment amount, total interest paid at the end of the loan, and total
repayment amount.
2. Create a trace table with five samples of test data to test your algorithm from question 1.
Program Implementation
1. Create a program in your chosen programming language to input the loan amount,
interest rate and number of years to repay. Then display the monthly payment amount,
total interest paid at the end of the loan, and total repayment amount.
