Chapter 11: Applying Excel Step 1: Download the Applying Excel form located on the left-hand side, under files. If you have trouble, the file is also located in D2L under Course Administration. Step 2: Then enter formulas in all cells that contain question marks. For example, in cell C26 enter the formula "= B5". Step 3: Check your worksheet by changing the cost of further processing undyed coarse wool in cell B12 to $30,000. The overall financial advantage (disadvantage) from processing all intermediate products into final products should now be $150,000 and the financial advantage (disadvantage) from further processing undyed coarse wool should now be $10,000. If you do not get these answers, find the errors in your worksheet and correct them.
