Must show calculations/formula for credit. Any answer given with no calculations/descriptions of how arrived at answers shown will result in no credit for that answer. If utilizing excel must state/describe your formulas used and your inputs

I strongly suggest you use excel for this project. The calculations are accomplished much simpler, quicker, and more accurate than doing the formulas by hand. The video embedded in your Canvas course provide a step by step process of how to go about it.

July 3400 97000
Aug 1500 56000
Sept 2300 93000
