If number-entry box is blank (this would be an incorrect answer for N-boxes), error check returns two spaces, " "

If number-entry or blank-entry box is incorrect, returns "*"

A. Differential Analysis If number-entry or blank-entry box is correct, returns single space, " "

Sell Regular (Alt. 1) or Process Further into Decaf (Alt. 2) Use data verification to set data entry to whole number >= 0, and use drop-downs for labels and names, so that students can't enter a space in a box and have it counted as correct. October 6 Conditional formatting might be used but wasn't here, to hide some of the error check return symbols.

If A1 = "~", then font = red, if something else, then font = background color.

Paper For Above instruction

The provided exercise involves performing a detailed differential analysis to determine whether processing further into decaffeinated Columbian coffee is advantageous for a company named Rise N' Shine Coffee. The exercise incorporates specific data entry instructions, error-checking mechanisms, and calculation formulas within a spreadsheet environment, emphasizing the importance of correct data input and the use of data verification tools to facilitate accurate analysis and decision-making.

Initially, students are instructed to enter their answers into cells with gray backgrounds, which are protected and non-editable. The cells with non-gray backgrounds are editable and serve as input fields for key data points such as costs, revenues, and selling prices. The exercise highlights common issues such as blanks being treated as incorrect answers and the importance of entering zeros instead of leaving cells blank to prevent errors.

The core of the exercise is a differential analysis comparing two scenarios: processing further into decaffeinated coffee (Alternative 2) versus selling the product as regular coffee (Alternative 1). The analysis involves calculating the differential revenue, differential costs, and net advantage or disadvantage of processing further. The formulas incorporate data verification to prevent incorrect inputs, such as entering spaces or invalid data types, which could compromise the accuracy of calculations.

Specific formulas are provided to calculate the percentage completion of the analysis, the differential revenue (difference between revenues of the two scenarios), and the differential cost. The analysis further considers the impact of changes in the selling price of Decaf Columbian coffee, identifying the price decrease that would make processing further neither advantageous nor disadvantageous. This sensitivity analysis helps the company understand the threshold at which the decision to process further remains economically viable.

Furthermore, the exercise emphasizes the importance of entering costs as negative numbers to correctly reflect expenses and supports the decision-making process by illustrating the calculation of net advantage, which, if positive, suggests a benefit in processing further. Conversely, a negative net advantage indicates that selling the product as regular coffee might be more profitable.

In conclusion, this exercise demonstrates the use of spreadsheet tools such as data verification, conditional formatting, and error checking in performing complex financial analyses. By carefully entering data, verifying inputs, and interpreting differential results, students learn to make informed managerial decisions regarding cost-volume-profit considerations, process evaluation, and pricing strategies.
