MS EXCEL: Assignment 2
JUN-NOV 2016

QUESTION 1:
1. Create the payroll report displayed below.
2. Use formatting as displayed in the below report; columns must be
widened as needed, cell wrapping must be used for the column
headings, dates must be formatted as displayed, numeric values must
be formatted as displayed.
3. Use cell bordering where I've used bordering and use cell patterns (fill
color) where I have. You don't have to use the same border or the
same color, but you must use this formatting feature in the
spreadsheet. Make it appealing to the eye.
4. Be sure to use the appropriate numeric formatting for all numeric
values; all numeric values are displayed with two decimal positions,
etc.
5. Be sure to use copying (drag fill) whenever possible and absolute cell
referencing whenever necessary. (Efficiency will be considered in the
grading process)
6. The columns that must contain calculations are:
a. Column F: Regular Pay is calculated by multiplying the regular
hours by the hourly rate.
b. Column G: Overtime Pay is calculated by multiplying the hourly
rate by the overtime rate and then multiplying that by the
overtime hours.
c. Column H: Gross Pay is calculated by adding the regular pay
and the overtime pay
d. Column I: FICA is calculated by multiplying the FICA rate by
the Gross Pay. This calculation should be rounded to two
decimal positions.

e. Column J: State Tax is calculated by multiplying the State Tax

Rate by the Gross Pay. This calculation should be rounded to
two decimal positions.
f. Column K: Federal Tax is calculated by multiplying the Federal
Tax Rate by the Gross Pay. This calculation should be rounded
to two decimal positions.
g. Column L: Net Pay is calculated by subtracting all deductions
(FICA, State and Federal Tax) from Gross Pay
7. The lower left corner of the sheet contains rates. When calculating
Overtime Pay, FICA, State Tax and Federal tax, use the rates specified
in this area. Your formulas must reference the cell, they must not
contain the actual rate.(For example, when calculating FICA for Crystal
Oates you should be multiplying her gross pay (cell I8) by the cell that
contains the FICA rate (cell B26) =I8*B26. You must also apply
absolute cell references in this formula so that it can easily be copied.
Do NOT use the actual number i.e., =I8*7.5%).
8. Apply conditional formatting to the Hourly Rate Column. The hourly
rate should be displayed in Red if it's less than $10 per hour and in
Blue if it's $10.00 per hour or more.
9. Sort the worksheet by department name
10. Create a column chart to represent employee name vs NET PAY
11.Save the spreadsheet and name it PayrollByDept
12.Rename the worksheet to QUESTION 1

create an absolute cell reference, type in =G6/$G$5 for the formula.

5. Sort the data by Percentage (largest to smallest), and then Student
