Task 1(a):

In my selected major, Marketing, it would be a very big advantage to see

comments that better explained what was happening in a cell in excel when
looking at spreadsheets. For example, when doing a marketing research study
adding comments about the participants in your focus group you can better
determine if you should include them in the overall average due to instances such
as intoxication or extreme racism.

Task 1(b):

Naming cell or cell range can be very useful by organizing a spreadsheet. An

example of this would be if you were a CEO of a major chain of stores throughout
the United States then when looking at the cells you could organize them by
location and highest amount of sales.

Note: The first set of tasks for Question 2 will be performed prior to showing us
your work. Please fill in the answers for tasks in the designated spaces.

Names of Salespersons receiving a Bonus in Scenario 2

Harvey Garner
Damian Hampton
Kenzie Padilla

Explanation of why the scenarios can produce different results. Your
recommendation and reasons.
The first scenario is based on their overall performance because it uses their total
sales for the year, whereas the second scenario is based on performance per quarter
because they look at only per quarter sales. This is why they produce different
results. I would recommend scenario one because it would incentivize higher
performance throughout the whole year as opposed to just quarterly.
