CIS110 HW: Spreadsheet

The Suburban Community News is a free paper that is published once weekly. For $3.00 you can place an advertisement to buy or sell just about anything.

The paper relies completely on the advertising of local businesses for its revenue. You have been asked to prepare a worksheet, based on the figures provided by your manager (Table A). Include a chart that illustrates the net incomes. The paper's senior-level managers hope to increase private advertising revenues by 3% per month, thus bringing in $3,893.40 in April; $4,017.00 in May; and $4,202.40 in June. Expanding the paper's service area, however, will increase Marketing by 5%, Payroll by 3%, and Production Costs by 11%. Create and format the worksheets, and hand in a floppy disk (news.xls).
