A B D E F G H T J K L M 1 2020 cyber week (during the thanksgiving period) saw a spike in e-commerce sales throughout the USA. A2Z eCommerz LLC website and app also witnessed a surge in traffic. During the cyber week, the IT team rented some temporary servers. Two types of servers were rented, (i) On-demand servers and (ii) Spot servers. Spot servers are idle servers in the cloud service provider's inventory, and they come at a discounted rate. However, you can not use spot servers for the long term because when the provider's idle server inventory reduces, some of the spot servers may be terminated. Hence, there is a termination risk in using spot servers. However, on-demand servers can't be terminated by the provider. 2 3 The servers are available in different sizes, but the firm rented only Small, Medium, and Large servers. 4 Table 8 has the pricing and spot server discounts for the servers of various sizes. Table 10 has details on the servers which the firm rented. 5 (a) Write a formula in cell F24 to compute the #of hours the firm rented the server. The number of hours rented = (Returned Date & Time - Rented Date and Time) * 24. Copy the formula to F25 to F41. 6 (b) Using VLOOKUP, write a formula in cell G24 to find the rate per hour from Table 8 for the given server size. Copy the formula to G25 to 641. 7 (c) Using IF and VLOOKUP functions, write a formula in cell H24 to find the spot server's discount rate. For on-demand servers, the discount rate is 0%. Copy the formula to H25 to H41. 8 (d) Write a formula in cell 124 to compute the discount amount on the server. Discount Amount = Percent Discount * Rate per hour. Copy the formula to 125 to 141. 9 (e) Write a formula in cell J24 to compute the rate per hour after the discount. Rate per hour after discount = Rate per hour - Discount Amount. Copy the formula from J25 to J41. 10 (f) Write a formula in cell K24 to compute the Total cost for the given server. Total Cost = Rate per hour after discount *#of hours Rented. Copy the formula from K25 to 641. 11 (g) Write a formula in cell G17 to compute the average hours Rented. Average hours rented is the average of the #of hours Rented (F24:F41). 12 (h) Write a formula in cell G18 to calculate the average total cost. The average total cost is the average of the total cost (K24:K41). 13 (i) Using the IF function, write a formula in cell L24 to determine if the number of hours rented for the given server is more than the average. Copy the formula from k25 to 641. 14 () Using the IF function, write a formula in cell M24 to determine if the number of hours rented for the given server is more than the average. Copy the formula to M25 to M41. 15 16 Table 8 Table 9 On-Demand Server Size Instance Hourly Discount for Spot Servers Average Hours 17 Rate Rented 18 Average Total Cost 19 1 Small 2 Medium 3 Large $0.33280 $0.66560 $1.33120 20% 30% 40% 20 A B C D E F G H I J L M N 22 Table 10 Rate per Server ID Server Size Rented Date & Time Server Type Returned Date & Time # of hours Rented Percent Discount Discount Amount Rate per hour after discount Is cost more than the Total Cost Is number of hours rented more than average? hour average cost? 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 1 Medium 2 Large 3 Large 4 Large 5 Large 6 Large 7 Small 8 Small 9 Large 10 Medium 11 Large 12 Small 13 Small 14 Small 15 Medium 16 Large 17 Medium 18 Large Spot Spot On-Demand Spot Spot On-Demand On-Demand Spot Spot On-Demand On-Demand Spot Spot On-Demand Spot On-Demand Spot On-Demand 11/25/20 2:00 11/25/20 9:00 11/25/20 17:00 11/25/20 21:00 11/26/20 9:00 11/26/20 11:00 11/26/20 16:00 11/26/20 23:00 11/27/201:00 11/27/20 23:00 11/28/20 1:00 11/28/20 2:00 11/28/20 3:00 11/28/20 9:00 11/28/20 11:00 11/28/20 16:00 11/28/20 16:00 11/28/20 16:00 11/26/20 9:00 11/27/20 1:00 11/30/20 13:00 11/30/20 13:00 11/30/20 13:00 11/30/20 13:00 11/30/20 13:00 11/30/20 13:00 11/30/20 13:00 11/30/20 13:00 11/30/20 13:00 11/30/20 13:00 11/30/20 13:00 11/30/20 13:00 11/30/20 13:00 11/30/20 13:00 11/30/20 13:00 11/30/20 13:00 36 37 38 39 40 41 42
