  1. Move to another area of your spreadsheet and title the area "Cost of QualityTrend Analysis." Show, for both 2019 and 2020, COQ spending (both category-level and in total) as a percentage of sales for the year. Show all percentages to 2 decimal places.
  2. Provide a bar chart to compare the percentages of each of the COQ categories and the total COQ for 2020 vs. 2019.
  3. Complete a sensitivity analysis by making the following (joint) changes to the 2020 amounts:
    1. Increase the total sales by 5%.
    2. Increase total prevention cost by 6%.
    3. Decrease total internal failure cost by 60%.
    4. Decrease total external failure cost by 50%.

For each of the four COQ categories, what is the revised (i.e, 2020) category cost as a percentage of sales, rounded to 2 decimal places?
