PROJECT STEPS

1. As the office administrator, you use Excel to maintain personnel data and summarize cash flow. You are finalizing the Personnel and Cash Flow worksheets for the current week.
   Begin on the Personnel worksheet by cutting the contents of the range B1:B2 and pasting them into the range A1:A2.
2. Adjust the width of column A using AutoFit.
3. Change the width of column B to 16.00.
4. Enter the values shown in Table 1 into the corresponding cells in the range B14:C16. 

   Table 1: Data for the Range B14-C16

   	B	C
   14	846.15	23.22
   15	846.15	5.19
   16	923.08	0.00

5. Enter albert.luna@cengage.com in cell D5. Select the range D5:D16, and then use the Flash Fill button (using the Fill drop-down arrow in the Editing group on the Home tab) to automatically enter codes into the remaining cells in the range. (Hint: You must use the Flash Fill button to properly receive credit for this step.) 
6. Change the width of column D to 36.00.
7. Enter the word Total in cell A17.
8. In cell B17, create a formula using the SUM function to determine the total salary paid by Tabula Insurance Agency by totaling the values in the range B5:B16. Copy the formula you created in cell B17 to cell C17.
9. Enter Number of Employees in cell A19.
10. In cell B19, create a formula using the COUNT function to determine the number of people employed by Tabula Insurance Agency by counting the values in the range B5:B16.
11. Enter the text Average Commission in A21.
12. Switch to the Cash Flow worksheet. Change the orientation of the Cash Flow worksheet to Landscape.
13. In cell A2, change the cell content to Cash Flow: April 4-10, 2024 (instead of just reading "April 4-10, 2024").
14. Select the range A4:E4 and the nonadjacent cell G8, and then increase the font size of the cells to 12 point.
15. To better display the content, manually change the height of row 3 to 8.00. (Hint: Do not use AutoFit.)
16. In cell B7, enter a formula without using a function to determine the profit generated from auto insurance policies by subtracting auto expenses (cell B6) from auto sales (cell B5) for the week of April 4-10, 2024. Copy the formula you created in cell B7 to the range C7:D7.
17. After determining the total profits generated by each store, you are now interested in calculating the total sales, expenses, and profits across all types of insurance sold. Select the range E5:E7, and then apply AutoSum to calculate the totals for these categories across all three types of insurance.
18. Since you just edited the worksheet, the content in cell A9 is no longer accurate. Click on cell A9 and clear its contents.
19. Apply the Wrap Text formatting to cell G8.
20. Adjust the Zoom level of the Cash Flow worksheet to 130%.
21. After reviewing the Personnel and Cash Flow worksheets, you typically generate some additional data for accounting. To create a placeholder worksheet for this data, insert a new worksheet in the workbook, rename the worksheet Accounting, and if necessary, move the new worksheet after the Cash Flow worksheet.

Your workbook should look like the Final Figures on the following pages. Save your changes, close the workbook, and then exit Excel. Follow the directions on the website to submit your completed project.
