Crazy Cars Auto Sales

Project Description:

In this project, you will create a worksheet that calculates sales and commissions for a used car company. You will create functions that determine monthly payments, lookup commission rates, and calculate a bonus for the salespeople.
Instructions: For the purpose of grading the project you are required to perform the following tasks:
Step 1 Instructions Start Excel. Open the downloaded Excel workbook named Exploring_e02_Grader_IR.xlsx. In cell G5, enter a formula that calculates the state sales tax by multiplying the base cost of the car (in F5) by 7%. Copy the formula down to cells G6:G16. Points Possible 0

In cell H5, enter a formula that adds the sales tax (in G5) to the base price of the car (in F5). Copy the formula down to cells H6:H16. In cell I5, enter a function to calculate a monthly payment for buyers. The function will refer to the annual interest rate (in D21) divided by 12, a loan term of 48 months, and the total cost of the car (in H5). Refer to the annual interest rate (D21) as an absolute cell reference. Copy the function down to cells I6: I16. In cell J5, create a VLOOKUP function that returns the salesperson commission that corresponds with the base cost of the car (in F5). Use the range $C$24:$D$28 as the Lookup Table, and return the commission rate from Column 2.
