Brief Description

 

You have been contracted to do an inventory spreadsheet for a computer component company.  You must use Excel for this task.

 

Objectives

 

Comp-U-Tech Computer Systems has hired you to design a spreadsheet containing all their inventory items and how many are in stock.  Using eBay and Price Watch, you must compile a list of 20-25 items and their prices.  These should be arranged in an Excel spreadsheet.  Also, the companies name and an appropriate logo must be included on the top.  Students should format the list in an easily readable form.  Colors and different fonts are encouraged.  NOTE:  Student may use Web Quest #4 with this web quest.  Be sure to save this web quest for use in future web quests.  Some formulas you may want to use are =Cell1*Cell2 to get the total in inventory for that item.  Also, =sum(CellX:CellY) will add the totals of all the items together to give you their final investment in inventory.  Assumptions may be used for the number of items in inventory.    For an idea on the setup and application, please use the screenshot.
