A 1

B 3

C 6

D 8[1]



(i) Trade discount is calculated by multiplying Cost per Item by the Number Ordered and multiplying the result by 25%. If the value in cell B12 is changed to £6.99, the values that will change automatically are in cells

(a) Discount is calculated by multiplying Gross Income by % Discount and dividing by 100. The formula in cell F3 is

A =F3*D3/100

B =100/D3*E3

C =E3*F3/100

D =D3*E3/100[1]



(b) Discount is calculated by multiplying Gross Income by % Discount and dividing by 100. Net Income is Gross Income less Discount. If the % Discount in cell E4 is changed to 8, the other values that will change automatically are in cells

A F4, F8, G4, G10, G11

B E4, F4, G4, G10

C F4, G4, G10, G11

D F4, F9, G10, G11[1]

(c) The formula in cell G11 is

A =SUM(G3:G7)/4

B =AVERAGE(G3:G7)

C =AVERAGE(G2:G9)

D =AVERAGE(G3:G10)[1]

(d) The formula in cell D3 is B3*C3. This is replicated to cell range D4:D7. The formula in D7 is

A =B3*C3

B =B7*C7

C =D4*D7

D =B3*C7[1]

(e) To present the data in cell A3 in one line, the user should

A increase the column width

B increase the row height

C use a larger font size

D use a frame[1]

(i) To sort the spreadsheet on Net Income so that the data for the smallest Net Income comes at the top of the list, the user should select cell range

A G3:G7 and sort ascending on Net Income

B A3:G7 and sort ascending on Net Income

C A3:G7 and sort descending on Net Income

D G3:G7 and A3:A7 and sort ascending on Net Income[1]
