Required information Excel Analytics 09-01 (Static) Flexible Budget Performance Analysis [L02, L04] [The following information applies to the questions displayed below. ] The Munchkin Theater is a nonprofit organization devoted to staging plays for children. The theater has a very small full time professional administrative staff. Through a special arrangement with the actors' union, actors and directors rehearse without pay and are paid only for actual performances. The Munchkin Theater has asked for your help in preparing a Planning budget at the beginning of the year and evaluating actual expenses at the end of the year. The theater expects to put on ve different productions with a total of 60 performances. For example, one of the productions is Peter Rabbit, which had been budgeted for five performances. After interviewing various people affiliated with the theater you have developed the following estimated cost formulas for each ofthe eight expenses that will be included in your Planning budget: Cost Formulas Per Per Production Performance Fixed Actors' and directors' wages $2,400 Stagehands' wages $ 450 Ticket booth personnel and ushers' wages $ 180 Scenery, costumes, and props $8,600 Theater hall rent $ 750 Printed programs $ 175 Publicity $2,600 Administrative expenses $1,296 $ 72 $32,400 By the end of the year, The Munchkin Theater actually put on four productions and a total of 64 performances. The actual expenses incurred during the year were as follows: Actors' and directors' wages $159,200 Stagehands' wages 28,600 Ticket booth personal and ushers' wages 12,300 Scenery, costumes, and props 39,300 Theater hall rent 49,600 Printed programs 10,950 Publicity 12,000 Administrative expenses 41,650 Total $353. 600 Click here to download the Excel template that you will use to create the Planning Budget and Flexible Budge_t Performance Report.

The first step is to choose and then highlight the cell or cells you wish to format based on the criterial. You may choose entire columns or rows or a subset of cells. Under the \"Home" tab click on \"Conditional Formatting\" in the \"Styles Section" From that drop down choose from either "Highlight Cell Rules" or \"Top/Bottom Rules" a. If you choose "Highlight Cell Rules" you will be given a number options including "Less than", "Greater Than", "Equal to" and so on. Chose the option that mirrors your intent. i. Once you do this, a prompt will appear where you can input the value you that you using as your benchmark or reference and then you can choose the format that the cells which meet this criteria will appear. ii. After this click "OK". b. if you choose "Top/Bottom Rules" you will be given options such as " Bottom 10 Items", "Top 10 Items", "Top 10%", "Above Average" and so on. i. Once you choose and option you can modify the percentage or number of items as you like then you can choose the format the cells which meet this criteria will appear. ii. After this click "OK". You should now be able to scroll through the data selected in step one and see which data meets the criteria based on which cells are now formatted
