Use the information included in the Excel Simulation and the Excel functions described below to complete the task. Cell Reference: Allows you to refer to data from another cell in the worksheet. From the Excel Simulation below, if in a blank cell on the Balance Sheet tab, =B12" was entered, the formula would output the result from cell B12, or 980,000 in this example. Basic Math functions: Allows you to use the basic math symbols to perform mathematical functions. You can use the following keys: + (plus sign to add), - (minus sign to subtract), * (asterisk sign to multiply), and / (forward slash to divide). From the Excel Simulation below, if in a blank cell on the Balance Sheet tab "=B11+B12" was entered, the formula would add the values from those cells and output the result, or 1,730,000 in this example.
