Module 2.6
Introduction


A.M.D.G.


In First Year you learned how to enter text, numbers and formulae in spreadsheet cells and how to draw charts from spreadsheet data.

In this module you will create larger spreadsheets with many linked formulae. The spreadsheets will allow you to model a number of different scenarios using different data to allow you to make the most informed decisions possible.

The first scenario will put you in charge of a hotel and its finances. You must calculate the various expenses – salaries and supplies. Money is generated by the guests coming and staying at your hotel. The amount of guests will vary from season to season.
The second, more complicated scenario puts you in charge of a football club and its finances. Money is generated from television, merchandising, food sales and, of course, gate receipts. Money must be spent on players’ salaries, maintenance, travel and security. It is your task to decide the most profitable route to success.
