BIS 221T Practice Week 3 Formulas and Functions

1. You are responsible for tracking daily sales. The table below lists a few of transactions for your
company. Notice that the sales tax amount and transaction totals are not filled in. Complete the tasks
to the right to complete the table.

2. Construct a formula in cell D11 to calculate the sales tax amount for transaction 578. Be sure to
appropriately reference the transaction amount in cell C11 and the sales tax rate in cell C8 so
that your formula can be reused for the remaining transations.

Formulas!D11: =C11*0.0675
4 / 7 (57.1%)
Feedback:
[-2] The formula in cell D11 does not reference the sales tax rate
[-1] The tax rate reference is not absolute
3. Copy the formula you used in cell D11 down to calculate the sales tax amount for the remaining
transactions.

4. Construct a formula in cell E11 to calculate the total amount for transaction 578. Be sure to
appropriately reference the transaction amount in cell C11 and the sales tax amount in cell D11
so that you can reuse your formula to calculate the total for the remaining transactions.
 Formulas!E11: =SUM(C11:D11)

7. There are 30 Major League Baselball (MLB) teams. The table below lists the 2010 and 1990 payroll
and win totals for each team (notice that four teams were added after the 1990 season). Some MLB
fans complain because the league does little to regulate the amount of money teams can pay for
salaries. They argue that the teams that spend the most money will win the most games. This would
put teams from small markets (that earn less revenue) at a disadvantage. Complete the 17 tasks listed
to the right. Insert your formulas (or responses) in column I for each task. Are small market teams at a
disadvantage?
8. Use the COUNT function to calculate the number of MLB teams in 1990 (range G10:G39).

Statistical Functions!I10: =COUNT(G10:G39)

5 / 5 (100.0%)
Feedback:
9. Use the COUNTA function to calculate the number of MLB teams in 2010 (use range F10:F39).

Statistical Functions!I12: =COUNTA(F10:F39)

Feedback:
10. Use the SUM function to calculate the total amount of salaries paid in 1990.

Statistical Functions!I14: =SUM(E10:E39)

12. Use the AVERAGE function to calculate the average salary for the teams in 1990.

Statistical Functions!I18: =AVERAGE(E10:E39)

14. Use the MAX function to determine the maximum team salary amount in 1990.

Statistical Functions!I22: =MAX(E10:E39)

16. Complete each task by inserting the appropriate function, referencing the appropriate cells in the task
data, in the specified cells.
