...Constructing Formulas for Mathematical Operations in Excel (Basic Tips and Techniques) Michelle A. Applequist Computer Information Systems (CIS105) Professor Hari Dhungana Strayer University September 1, 2009 Constructing Formulas for Mathematical Operations in Excel Microsoft Excel uses formulas to construct mathematical operations in a worksheet. After data have been entered into the worksheet, you can perform calculations, analyze data, and create charts. An Excel formula (calculations you create) and functions (formulas pre-existing in Excel) calculates the data entered in the worksheet. Formulas calculate numbers in a particular order. “Excel has one of the most comprehensive set of formulas, not only to perform calculations but also to manage data and records. It also has the ability to instantaneously re-calculate the results as the raw data changes” (Khoo, 2006-9, para. 2). To construct a formula after you have entered data, you must click in the cell that you want the results to appear in, and then type the formula. You can construct formulas by using the sum function, and editing numbers in a cell. It is stated that: Sum is an Excel function—a prewritten formula. Sum indicates the type of calculation that will take place (addition). When the sum function is activated, Excel looks above the active cell for a range of cells to sum. If there is no range above the cell, Excel will look to the left for a range of cells to...

...I’ll keep looking for other students to post their discussion assignment, as I need to assess three student discussion posts. This week, I feel it will be helpful to master the for .. each, while, and do … while control structures. Often, I use the for loop, and select case / switch, but the other loops escape my programming toolbox. This week, I learned how to program with while, do … while, and for … each. These three control structures help complete processing tasks without programming a set number of iterations, or until a boolean condition is met(or not met). Control structures that iterate a set number of times can miss processing the entirety of a data structure. Often, I use the for loop. I am very familiar with the for loop, but I want to use the other control structures more. I enjoyed learning other methods this week. This week, the for … each loop caused me to wonder. I like thinking about putting a data structure into the top of a for … each loop, and letting the computer decide how many processing iterations to make. In my opinion, this avoids mistakes counting how many iterations to...

In its first month of operation, Maze Company purchased 100 units of inventory for $6, then 200 units for $7, and finally 150 units for $8. At the end of the month, 180 units remained. Compute the amount of phantom profit that would result if the company used FIFO rather than LIFO. The company uses the periodic method. FIFO: $1,410 150 units multiplied by $8 equals $1,200 30 units multiplied by $7 equals $210 $1,200 plus $210 equals $1,410 LIFO: $1,160 100 units multiplied by $6 equals $600 80 units multiplied by $7 equals $560 $600 plus $560 equals to $1,160 Therefore, the phantom profit would be $250 if the company were to use the FIFO rather than LIFO.

...Running head: UNIT 1 Global Operations Management Unit 1 Global Operations Management Discussion Board MGMT 415-1103B-04 Instructor: Alfred Siu Christi Kerr AIU Online Unit 1 Global Operations Management Managing global operations have never been easy. However; managing global operations correctly shows in the bottom line in the company. There are many things that have changed global operations such as communications, transportation and cutting cost (Heizer 2012). The first example of a global operation that demonstrates a global management approach is the most familiar of all is Wal-Mart. They went international when they opened Sam’s Club near Mexico in 1991 and two years later Wal-Mart International was created. Wal-Mart has created stores with different formats and styles to fit their customers for each store in each country. Wherever Wal-Mart is located each store shares a common goal which is to save people money so they can live better. Today there are 5,236 stores and more than 730,000 associates in 14 countries outside the US (walmartinternationa.com). The second one is Hershey’s Chocolate Company and they are located in Canada, Mexico, Brazil, China, Korea and Japan. Hershey’s is committed to dealing fairly and ethically with all parties and at all points of the value chain and work hard to ensure the responsible and sustainability sourcing of raw materials and the safest possible processing of those materials and they do this for each and every plant...

...functions (e.g., central store, laundry and linen operations, and sterile processing). The core purpose of material management is to direct and control the movements of goods in an efficient manner through a hospital system (Langabeer, 2008). This material management proposal document will elaborate on the role materials management plays within a hospital and the role of operations managers in this process. This document will further identify possible constraints a hospital may experience in its supply chain, the potential effects and justification on implementing a new collaborative planning process, and provide suggestions on how to manage a hospital supplied during a disaster. Role of Materials and Operations Management The role of materials and operations management plays within a hospital system is vital to the success of any health care organization. According to Langabeer (2008) material management controls significant resources and have total expenditures, or spending at 50% of a hospital budget. Materials management not only directs and controls the supply chain of a health care organization it is responsible for managing the flow of goods throughout the hospital and carry out supply and resource logistics. Materials management has numerous meanings and some hospitals view material management as an umbrella department with various functions such as central stores, laundry and linen operations, and sterile processing with many other functions to endure. Therefore, the...

...Stickley Furniture (Operations Tour) 1. Which type of production processing-job shop, batch, repetitive, or continuous-is the primary mode of operation at Stickley Furniture? Why? What other type of processing is used to a lesser extent? Production process has a significant effect on the way production of goods and services will be organized. It is important part of operation management, which determines the right process strategy for the transformation of a certain range set of inputs in order to produce the desired outputs. In the case study of Stickley Furniture the primary mode of operation is continuous production processing. This production process mainly specializes in manufacturing or processing various parts to come up with final standardized output, when it is desired (Stevenson, 2015). Stickley Furniture has many reasons to why continuous production process is used in their facilities. The first major factor is a quality of their product which starts form sawing operation. The process starts with inspection of lumber by the workers, who then feed the lumber in to the machine, where the computer system scans it and determines optimal an efficient way to cut the lumber in to specified pieces, and by avoiding knots and other defects. The next step after producing boards is to build and assemble various types of quality furniture in line with the client’s orders. As the result, of all of this order of operations, it indicates support for most commonly use of the continuous...

...Operations performance objectives This first point made in this section is that operations objectives are very broad. Operations management has an impact on the five broad categories of stakeholders in any organisation. Stakeholders is a broad term but is generally used to mean anybody who could have an interest in, or is affected by, the operation. The five groups are: * Customers - These are the most obvious people who will be affected by any business. What the chapter goes on to call the five operations performance objectives apply primarily to this group of people. * Suppliers - Operations can have a major impact on suppliers, both on how they prosper themselves, and on how effective they are at supplying the operation. * Shareholders - Clearly, the better an operation is at producing goods and services, the more likely the whole business is to prosper and shareholders will be one of the major beneficiaries of this. * Employees - Similarly, employees will be generally better off if the company is prosperous; if only because they are more likely to be employed in the future. However operations responsibilities to employees go far beyond this. It includes the general working conditions which are determined by the way the operation has been designed. * Society - Although often having no direct economic connection with the company, individuals and groups in society at large can be impacted by the way its operations managers behave. The most obvious example...
