Operations Management homework help

Golf is looking to create a reusable order form for golf equipment. This order form must include shipping charges and a discount for orders according to their total amount. In addition, the form must add a handling charge because most golf equipment must be packed by hand. The Golf salesclerk has placed information about pricing, handling charges (including the maximum charge), discounts, and shipping charges on worksheets in an Excel file. Your task is to complete the Orders worksheet using lookup functions to display the product description and to calculate the order total and shipping, handling, and discount charges.

1. In cell C7 of the Orders worksheet, write a formula that displays the product description for the first item in the order. Copy the formula into cells C8:C11.

2. In cell D7 of the Orders worksheet, calculate the total value of the item (price multiplied by quantity). Copy the formula into cells D8:D11.

3. In cell D14 of the Orders worksheet, calculate the total cost of the order.

4. In cell D15 of the Orders worksheet, calculate the total shipping charge for this order based on three variables: the ship-to region, the total weight, and the method of shipping.

a. HINT: This will require a HLOOKUP and cells C2, C3, and C4 to retrieve the answer. For the row number argument of the HLOOKUP, use C3 + 1

5. In cell D16 of the Orders worksheet, calculate the handling cost. Be certain to account for the maximum handling charge. Handling fees are based on the total order value excluding shipping and discounts.

a. HINT: The HLOOKUP will need to have the fourth argument be True for the approximate match.

6. In cell D17 of the Orders worksheet, calculate the discount. Be certain to write the formula so that the discount is deducted from the total amount when all values are added (should be a negative number). Discounts are based on the total order value excluding shipping and handling fees.

7. In cell D19 of the Orders worksheet, calculate the grand total for the order.
