Task 1(a):

I think that the ability to add comments on cells allows users to fully understand the
information in the cell because most cells dont include a description. An example is a sales
report for a company that had a huge decrease in the year 2011. In the added comment, the
accountant could add that there was a recall on one of the items that year, so that is why there
was such a huge decrease.

Task 1(b):

Naming a range of cells provides the user with a very organized spreadsheet. Being able
to search for the range of cells in the name box and be directed there is very convenient when
working with a large spreadsheet. An example may be a sales report for a company. With cell
names, you are able to search for a certain year and also sum up any profitable range of cells
you would like.

Note: The first set of tasks for Question 2 will be performed prior to showing us
your work. Please fill in the answers for tasks in the designated spaces.

Task 2(k):

Names of Salespersons receiving a Bonus in Scenario 1

Seven: Molly Stolz, Taylor Koch, Deacon Huffman, Amy McGuire, Asher Hoover,
Mohamed Downs, Jayden Arnold

Names of Salespersons receiving a Bonus in Scenario 2

Four: Taylor Koch, Deacon Huffman, Mohamed Downs

Explanation of why the scenarios can produce different results. Your
recommendation and reasons.
More salespersons in Scenario 1 received bonuses because it was based off
if they had above average total sales while Scenario 2 was based off top quarters.
I would recommend Scenario 2 method because it narrows it down to people that
have had the best results, not just the ones right in the middle. Choosing only a
minimal amount of people to get bonuses provides more of an incentive for
others.
