Hello,please help me solve these steps by explaining how to perform
these steps in excel in detail. Please explain every step
thoroughly also explain each formula and how to use it.Click on the Assumptions Tab and enter the isolated assumption
values using the information from the problem description above.
Every cell should have a value.
5. The Hours per Day Available for the Small Shop is calculated in
cell C5 as the Number of Shop Workers times the Workshop Hours per
Day both assumptions found on the Assumption tab. Using the
mouse, construct the formula so it looks like:
=Assumptions!C3*Assumptions!C4
Modify the formula so that the cell references are partially
absolute that is the row number is anchored (has a $ sign in
front of it) but the column letter is not.
6. Calculate in C6 the Daily Labour Cost for the Small Shop as the
Hours per Day Available times the Workshop Labour Cost per Hour (an
assumption). Again, this should use only a partial absolute
reference to the assumption value anchoring just the row
number.
7. In cell C13, we need to calculate the total number of hours it
will take to produce the item indicated in cells C8:C11. Even
though cells C10 and C11 will only ever be 0, we want to be sure
the formula covers all options. Create a formula that adds together
the products of the Number of Items being made times the Time to
Make assumption associated with that item.
The formula should look something like this (not the complete
formula):
= C8*Assumptions!$C$6+ C9*Assumptions!$C$7+...
8. The Total Wholesale Value in cell C16 and the Total Material
Cost in cell C19 are calculated in a similar manner. The Wholesale
Value is the result of multiplying the number
of each item by its respective Wholesale Price found in the
assumptions and then adding all those products together.
Likewise, the Total Material Cost multiplies the number of each
item being produced by its associated Material Cost value in the
assumptions and adds those together. Enter formulas for both cells
and make sure all references to assumptions are fully anchored so
they are absolute references.
9. Next calculate the Total Shop Days in cell C14 for the Small
Workshop as the Production Man Hours divided by the Hours per Day
Available for the shop.
10. The Total Labour Cost in cell C18 is found by multiplying the
Production Man Hours by Workshop Labour Cost per Hour. Finally, the
Total Overhead Cost is found by multiplying the Total Shop Days by
the associated Workshop Daily Overhead Cost. All references to
assumptions must be partially anchored references (only on the
row).
11. Now sum up the Total Costs in C21 using a sum function
summing up cells C18, C19 & C20. Next calculate the Gross
Profit as Total Wholesale Value (C16) minus Total Costs
(C21).
Figure Q1-1
12. Copy cells C5:C6 into D5:D6. Likewise, copy C13:C23 into
D13:D23.
13. The final step in creating this Order Planner worksheet is to
create all the Total formulas. In cell F8, enter =C8+D8. Do the
same in cells F9:F11, F13:F14, F16, F18:F21, and F23. If you
populate cells C9, C11, D8:D11 with ones, the final version of the
worksheet should look like Figure Q1-1. You may need to copy the
formatting from cells D13:D23 over to F13:F23.
14. Save your work at this.
15. Next, we want to use the tool to determine several order plans.
Below is a table detailing three order plans. The instructions will
help you work through the first one and then you will complete
the other two following which, you will generate a Scenario
Manager Summary Report. Order 1 Order 2 Order 3 Baseball Caps 50
300125
Toques
20
75
100 Fedoras 125025
Cowboy Hats
15
20
25 Max Days to Complete 2.57.255.5
16. Enter the Order 1(or the next order) details into cells
C28:C32.
17. Enter zeros into cells C8, C9, and D8:D11.
18. Now we want to open the Solver tool. Select Solver from the
Analyze Group on the Data Ribbon. Our objective for this Order
Planner tool will be to have minimum total costs while determining
the values for cells C8, C9, D8, D9, D10 and D11. In the solver
tool,
a. select the Set Objective box, then click on cell F21 to enter
this as the objective cell.
b. Next select Min to indicate that we want this cell to be as
small as possible.
c. Select the By Changing Variable Cells box and then while
holding down the Ctrl-Key, select cells C8, C9, D8, D9, D10 and D11
(the variable cells).
d. Click the Add button to start adding constraints. You will need
the following:
i.6 constraints requiring the variable cells to be integers
(int)
ii.6 constraints requiring the variable cells to be greater than
or equal to zero.
iii. 4 constraints requiring each of the totals in cells F8:F11 to
be equal to the order requirements in cells C28:C31 respectively.
The cell F8 must equal cell C28, cell F9 must equal cell C29,
etc...
iv.2 constraints restricting the Total Shop Days values in C14 and
D14 to be less than or equal to the Max Days to Complete value in
C32.
19. Using the Simplex LP method, solve for a solution to this
problem. If a solution is found, first save the solution using the
Save Scenario button. Use Order1 as the Scenario Name. Then select
Keep the Solution and click on Activity (or Answer) to generate the
Activity (or Answer) report. Finally, select OK.
20. Open the Scenario Manager (under the What-If-Tools list),
select Order 1 and then click Edit. In the Changing Variables
field, add the additional cells of C28:C32. Click OK and then
verify that these cells were added to the bottom of the Scenario
Values dialog box (at the bottom). Once satisfied they were added,
click OK once more.
21. Change the values in cells C28:C32 for the next order and
repeat steps 16,17,18,19 and 20 until all three orders are
done
22. After the three orders are complete, name the following
cells:
F13 to Total_Man_Hours,
C14 to Small_Shop_Days,
D14 to Large_Shop_Days,
F16 to Revenue,
F21 to Costs, and
F23 to Gross_Profit.
23. Finally, we want to generate a Scenario Manager Summary report.
Select the Scenario Manager tool, select the Summary button, and
then select cells F13, C14, D14, F16, F21, and F23 as the result
cells to include in the report. Select Scenario Summary and the
click OK.
24. You should have the following tabs in your final workbook:
25. Save the changes to the workbook and submit the results to the
course website.
