You have decided to purchase a new car. You plan to take out a loan to pay for the
car. The loan amount is $18,900. You will pay an interest rate of 6.5% and plan to pay
off the car in 48 months. You want to calculate the total amount of money and the
total amount of interest you will pay over the course of the loan. To help you with

You are the owner of a small business that manages the program, food,
and merchandise sales at the Excel Center, where the local professional
basketball team plays. In addition to basketball games, the Excel Center
hosts dozens of events a year. Your company handles all sales made inside
the arena. There are three major products you sell: programs, food, and
merchandise. You have decided to build a spreadsheet model to help you
analyze and project the profitability of future events. The “Event Profit”
worksheet contains this model. You have randomly selected sales and
attendance data from a number of past events to help build your model.
This data can be found on the “Past Events” worksheet. You will analyze
this data in order to obtain appropriate values to develop the model.
Complete the tasks to finish the model. Whenever possible, reference cells
rather than hard-coding values in the cells of your worksheet.

You are the owner of a small business that manages the program, food, and merchandise sales at the
Excel Center, where the local professional basketball team plays. In addition to basketball games, the
Excel Center hosts dozens of events a year. Your company handles all sales inside the arena. There are
three major products you sell: programs, food, and merchandise. You have randomly selected sales
and attendance data from a number of past events to help build your model. This data can be found
on the “Past Events” worksheet. You have classified each event as a “Sporting Event,” “Concert,” or
“Other Event.” You have also classified each event by the attendance at that event as “Poor” (less than
10,000 people in attendance), “Fair” (between 10,000 and 15,000 people in attendance), “Good”
(between 15,000 and 20,000 people in attendance), or “Excellent” (more than 20,000 people in
attendance). Complete the tasks to build each of the PivotTables described. Make sure you create a
new PivotTable when a task asks you to construct a PivotTable; place that PivotTable on an
appropriately named worksheet. For each question, select the answer from the drop-down list that is
closest to the answer you found in your analysis.

PivotTable Questions

Question 1 - Which type of event (“Concert,” “Sporting Event,” or “Other Concert

Event”) has the largest average attendance?

Question 2 – For only those events with “Excellent” crowd sizes, how much $7 million
total merchandise revenue was earned?

Question 3 – What percent of events with “Fair” crowd sizes were sporting 47%
events?

Question 4 – What percent of all concerts had a crowd size of “Excellent”? 16%

$625,000
Question 5 – How much more money from food sales has been generated at
concerts than at other events, not including sporting events, for events in the
sample?
Your bakery makes a variety of products: cookies, cupcakes,
muffins, and donuts. You want to maximize your profit by
optimizing the mix of products you make. You cannot use any
more materials or labor than is available, nor do you want to
make more goods than the amount that is demanded because the
excess would go to waste. You only make batches of a complete
dozen, so make sure the changing cells are integers. Use Solver to
calculate the optimal number of dozens of product to make.
