Enter a lookup function in cell E5 that returns the tax
deduction amount for the number of dependents listed in the cell
C5. Use the table in range H13:I17 to complete the function. The maximum
deduction is $500.00; therefore, employees with more than four dependents
will receive no additional deductions. |

6 |
Use Auto Fill to copy the
function down, completing column E. Be sure to use the appropriate cell
referencing. Format the data in column E with the Accounting Number Format. |

Enter a logical function in cell F5 that calculates
employee FICA withholding. If the employee is full-time and has at least one
dependent, then he or she pays 7% of the annual salary minus any deductions.
All other employees pay 5% of the annual salary minus any deductions. Copy
the function down through column F. Format the data in column F with
Accounting Number Format. |

the range
C5:C34 that highlights any dependents that are greater than 3 with
Light Red Fill and Dark Red Text. |

Click cell H10, and enter an AVERAGEIFS function to
determine the average salary of full-time employees with at least one
dependent. Format the results in Accounting Number Format. |

Use Advanced Filtering to
restrict the data to only display full-time employees with at least one
dependent. Place the results in cell A37. Use the criteria in the range
H24:M25 to complete the function. |

Ensure that the Facilities worksheet is active. Enter a
reference to the beginning loan balance in cell B12 and enter a reference to the
payment amount in cell C12. |

Enter a function in cell D12,
based on the payment and loan details, that calculates the amount of interest
paid on the first payment. Be sure to use the appropriate absolute, relative,
or mixed cell references. |
3 |

15 |
Enter a function in cell E12, based on the payment and
loan details, that calculates the amount of principal paid on the first
payment. Be sure to use the appropriate absolute, relative, or mixed cell
references. |

Enter a formula in cell F12 to
calculate the remaining balance after the current payment. The remaining
balance is calculated by subtracting the principal payment from the balance

Ensure the Sales worksheet is
active. Enter a function in cell B8 to create a custom transaction number.
The transaction number should be comprised of the item number listed in cell
C8 combined with the quantity in cell D8 and the first initial of the payment
type in cell E8. Use Auto Fill to copy the function down, completing the data
in column B. |
