I need help with this assignment! Please, please help.

Basically, by following the instructions, I must use Excel to create visually appealing data tables and bar charts to analyze division performance, and then comment on the results.

Please follow the instructions VERY closely because this teacher is very nit-picky with details.

If any questions arise, please leave a comment and I'll get back to you with the whatever answers are needed.

In a new spreadsheet (name it "Segment Analysis"), set up four column headings: Division; Assets; 49 Operating Income; Revenue. Your rows should list the six reportable segments. 50 51 2.

Use the "Number" section of the menu bar to format the data as "currency" (dollar signs and commas). 54 55 Use the "decimal remove" button to delete unnecessary decimals. 56 4. Use "Format as a Table" or shading to improve the visual look of your data table. 57 58 5. Next, add a column chart to visually display this data. To do this, highlight the entire data table. Then click 59 on the "insert" tab on the ribbon. Then click on the "Column" Chart. Add a title to your chart. Expand the 60 chart size if needed. 61 6.

Alternatively, drag the autofill handle to fill in the formulas for the other segments. 75 76 4. Use the "%" on the "Number" section of the ribbon to format the ROI and Sales Margin as percentages.

Format the residual income as a 78 79 dollar amount. 80 6. Add a column chart that compares the ROI of each segment. Add a title and size the chart as needed. 81 (Only the chart of the ROI is required. You do NOT need to make charts of the other ratios.) 82 83 8485 Section IV 86 87 Add one textbox for EACH of the following: 88 1. ROI: 89 What does ROI tell management? 90 Which segments have the best and worst ROI or are they roughly the same (how do they compare)? 91 How could a segment of this company improve its ROI?

Measurement issues 112 When you did the ROI, sales margin, capital turnover, and residual income calculations, using the segment information provided in the footnotes, did you use the 1} 113 gross book value (GBV) of the assets, or 2) net book value (NBV) of the assets? How can you tell? (HINT: Look at the Consolidated Balance Sheet on page 81 of 114 the 10k) What is the risk when companies use the NBV for assessing ROI. 115 116 8.
