EXP ECH06 H2 - Housing Construction Cost Variables 1.1<br />

Project Description:<br />

Your friends, Elijah and Valerie Foglesong, want to build their dream house. They identified<br />

tentative costs, but they cannot afford the $414,717 estimated cost. You will use Goal Seek<br />

to determine an estimate of the total finished square footage they can afford. To help provide<br />

more flexibility in their decision-making, you will create a data table listing various finished<br />

square footages and their effects on the base house cost and total cost. Finally, you will<br />

create another data table showing combinations of square footages and lot prices to identify<br />

total costs.<br />

Instructions:<br />

For the purpose of grading the project you are required to perform the following tasks:<br />

Step Instructions Points<br />

Possible


1 Start Excel. Open ​<strong>exploring</strong>_<strong>e06</strong>_<strong>grader</strong>_<strong>h2</strong>_<strong>House</strong>.xlsx<br />

0.000<br />

and save the workbook<br />

as​<strong>exploring</strong>_<strong>e06</strong>_<strong>grader</strong>_<strong>h2</strong>_<strong>House</strong>_<strong>LastFirst</strong>​.<br />

2 Use Goal Seek to determine the total finished square<br />

12.000<br />

footage to meet the total cost goal of $350,000.<br />

3 Enter a series of total square footages ranging from<br />

12.000<br />

1,800 ​to​3,600 ​in increments of​ 200​ in the range D6:D15.<br />

Apply Blue font and Comma Style with zero decimal<br />

places to the series.<br />

4 Enter a reference to the base house price in cell E5 and<br />

12.000<br />

a reference to the total estimated cost in cell F5.<br />

5 Complete the data table using the appropriate input cell.<br />

12.000<br />

Apply custom number formats to display ​Base Cost ​in<br />

cell E5 and ​Total Cost ​in cell F5. Apply Blue font, bold,<br />

and center formats to these headings.


6 Identify the square footage, base price, and total cost in<br />

8.000<br />

the data table that comes closest to their goal. Apply<br />

Blue, Accent 1, Lighter 40% fill color to those cells.<br />

7 Copy and paste the square footage substitution values<br />

12.000<br />

in Table 1 to the range H6:H15. Remove the fill color.<br />

Enter these lot price substitution values in the range<br />

I5:K5: ​90000​,​96000​, and ​102675​, respectively. Format<br />

these values with the Accounting Number Format with<br />

zero decimal places and Blue font.<br />

8 Enter the reference to the total estimated cost in the<br />

12.000<br />

appropriate location for the second data table. Apply a<br />

custom number format to display ​Total Sq Ft ​in that<br />

cell. Apply Blue font and bold to that cell.<br />

9 Complete the second data table using the appropriate<br />

10.000<br />

input cells. Apply Blue, Accent 1, Lighter 40% fill color to<br />

the total price in each column that comes closest to their<br />

goal.
