Excel Assignment 3
Assignment Due Midnight Dec 12
 

Are you seeing the power within Excel?  One of the powerful features of spreadsheets is the ability to predict.  What would your house payment be if you purchased a $80,000 house with $20,000 down at 5% interest?  What if you paid $10,000 as the down payment?  What about that car offer that offers either 0% interest or $3,000 off the asking price?  Which is the better offer?  Before spreadsheets this involved time consuming calculations by hand or trusting the salesman.  Now, using the powerful function features, it can take less than a couple of minutes.   

For full credit, this program is due midnight, December 12.  Note:  no late submissions accepted. 

Prepare for your Excel test Dec 13-15.
