Orton Company distributes one product that sells for $$11\mathrm{.}50$ per unit and incurs variable expenses of $$8\mathrm{.}25$ per unit. Its monthly fixed expense is $$80,000.$ The company currently pays its sales representatives a sales commission of $$1\mathrm{.}75$ per unit sold; however, it is considering replacing these sales commissions with sales salaries of $$70,000$ per month. Orton would like your help in creating a cost$-$volume$-$profit $($CVP$)$ graph and a profit graph for both compensation scenarios up to a sales volume of $50,000$ units.

Download the Excel file, which you will use to create the CVP graphs and profit graphs within Tableau.

Upload the Excel file into Tableau by doing the following:

Open the Tableau Desktop application.

On the left$-$hand side, under the "Connect" header and the $"$To a file" sub$-$header, click on "Microsoft Excel."

Choose the Excel file and click "Open."

Since the only worksheet in the Excel File is "Orton Company" it will default as a selection with no further import steps nepred
