Exp22_Excel_Ch02_ML1 – Katherine’s Coffee Shop Weekly Payroll

Project Description:

You have been hired as the new manager of Katherine’s Coffee shop. As part of your responsibilities, you will be calculating the weekly payroll. The previous manager developed a partial worksheet, but you will enter the formulas to calculate the regular pay, overtime pay, gross pay, taxable pay, withholding tax, FICA, and net pay. In addition, you want to include total pay columns, calculate some basic statistics, and create an employee lookup section. As you construct formulas, make sure you use absolute, relative, and mixed cell references correctly in formulas.

Start Excel. Download and open   the file named Exp22_Excel_Ch02_ML1_Payroll.xlsx.   Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the   filename. 

Use IF functions to calculate   the regular pay and overtime pay in columns E and F based on a regular   40-hour workweek. Be sure to use the appropriate absolute or mixed cell   references. Pay overtime only for overtime hours. Note employees receive 1.5   their hourly wage for overtime hours worked. Calculate the gross pay in cell   G5 based on the regular and overtime pay. Spencer’s regular pay is $440. With   five overtime hours, Spencer’s overtime pay is $82.50.

Create a formula in cell H5 to   calculate the taxable pay. Multiply the number of dependents by the deduction   per dependent and subtract that from the gross pay. With two dependents,   Spencer’s taxable pay is $422.50.

Insert a VLOOKUP function in   cell I5 to identify and calculate the federal withholding tax. With a taxable   pay of $422.50, Spencer’s tax rate is 25% and the withholding tax is $105.63.   The VLOOKUP function returns the applicable tax rate, which you must then   multiply by the taxable pay.

Calculate FICA in cell J5 based   on gross pay and the FICA rate, and calculate the net pay in cell K5. Copy   all formulas down their respective columns. Be sure to preserve the existing   formatting in the document. Based on the hours Spencer worked he paid $39.97   to FICA and had a weekly net pay of $376.90

Use Quick Analysis tools to   calculate the total regular pay, overtime pay, gross pay, taxable pay,   withholding tax, FICA, and net pay on row 17. (On a Mac, this step must be   completed using the AutoSum feature on the ribbon.)

Apply Accounting Number Format   to the range C5:C16. Apply Accounting Number Format to the first row of   monetary data and to the total row. Apply the Comma style to the monetary   values for the other employees. 

Insert appropriate functions to   calculate the average, highest, and lowest values in the Summary Statistics   area (the range I24:K26) of the worksheet. Format the # of hours calculations   as Number format with one decimal and the remaining calculations with   Accounting Number Format.

Use the XLOOKUP function to look   up the employee name in cell A20 (Wagner) in the payroll data and return the   specified information in row 20. Ensure the return array includes overtime   pay, gross pay, taxable pay, federal tax, FICA and net pay. 

Save and close the workbook.   Submit the file as directed. 

 Respond to the disussion below about the difference between recursion and iteration with 150 words or more.

Recursion and iteration are similar they execute sets of instructions  repeatedly. However, the main difference is that the recursion is when a  statement in a function calls itself repeatedly. Iteration is a loop  that repeatedly executes until the condition is not met, or becomes  false. 

Recursion uses the selection structure. The selection structure is a  programming feature that performs a different process depending on  whether a boolean condition is true or false. They use relational  operators to test if the conditions are true or false.

Recursion terminates when the base case is recognized; The base case  n=1. It is slower than iteration and used more memory than iteration.  The code is smaller using recursion.

Define several forms of metadata that can be useful to an investigation. How is it valuable to an investigator?

1. Locate a dissertation on any topic by searching the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global database on the UC Library website. Read the literature review section. Provide a one paragraph summary of the literature review.  
   ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global database is accessible through the Databases link below the blue picture on the Library website. The Databases tab will access an alphabetical list of the Library databases. The dissertation database is listed twice, as Dissertations and Theses and as ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. Both links access the same database. Many of the dissertations published since 1997 are available in full text with a link to the PDF. 
   Here is the link to the P section of the database listings https://ucumberlands.libguides.com/az.php?a=p

For each of the following examples, determine whether this is an embedded system, explaining why or why not. 

Question 1 

Are programs that understand physics and/or hardware embedded? For example, one that uses finite-element methods to predict fluid flow over airplane wings? 

Question 2

Is the internal microprocessor controlling a disk drive an example of an embedded system?

 
Question 3

 Is an I/O drivers control hardware, so does the presence of an I/O driver imply that the computer executing the driver is embedded? 

Question 4

Is a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) an embedded system? 

Question 5

Is the microprocessor controlling a cell phone an embedded system? 

Question 6

Is the computer controlling a pacemaker in a person’s chest an embedded computer? 

Question 7

List and briefly define the possible states that define an instruction execution. 

Question 8

List and briefly define two approaches to dealing with multiple interrupts. 

Question 9

Consider two microprocessors having 8- and 16-bit-wide external data buses, respectively. The two processors are identical otherwise and their bus cycles take just as long. 

(a) Suppose all instructions and operands are two bytes long. By what factor do the maximum data transfer rates differ? 

(b) Repeat assuming that half of the operands and instructions are one byte long. 

Week 7: Program Construction

Code Management and Modularity 

Scenario and Summary

This week, we learn how to manage complexity by putting together a ready-built application that comprises a number of separate header and source files. Our job here will be to take these individual files and combine them into one standalone application. Although the process is quite a simple one, it will emphasize the advantage of modularity when writing code. It also shows how code can be reused between programmers and/or applications.

STEP 1: Create the   Project

1. Create a new C++ console-based project.

STEP 2: Add Files to   Your Project

1. Unzip the source code and header files found in Doc      Sharing (Lab_7_files.zip), and then add these files to your project as      needed.

STEP 3: Build and Test

1. Build your project (compile your program). 
2. Eliminate all syntax errors. 
3. Run the program. 

STEP 4: Label Title 

Write a research paper on Locational Base Services. Its should contains Introduction one page and Key Performance Indicators: 6-8 and select four companies for data sets for kpis.

No plagiarism and quality work
