IS 340 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS CHAPTER 1 LAB Lab 5-10: Improving Decision making: Using a Spreadsheet to Evaluate Hardware and Software Options (Individual Assignment worth a total of 75 points) Due September 28th @ 5:30 PM Resources needed: 1. A windows PC with Microsoft Word and Excel or Access installed. Scenario: In this exercise, you will use spreadsheet software to calculate the cost of desktop systems, printers, and software. Use the Internet to obtain pricing information on hardware and software for an office of 30 people. You will need to price 30 PC desktop systems (monitors, computers, and keyboards) manufactured by Lenovo, Dell, and HP. (For the purposes of this exercise, ignore the fact that desktop systems usually come with preloaded software packages.) Obtain pricing on 15 desktop printers manufactured by HP, Canon, and Dell. Each desktop system must satisfy the minimum specifications shown in tables that you can find in MyLab MIS™. Also, obtain pricing on 30 copies of the most recent versions of Microsoft Office and OpenOffice. Each desktop productivity package should contain programs for word processing, spreadsheets, database, and presentations. Prepare a spreadsheet showing your research results for the software and the desktop system, printer, and software combination offering the best performance and pricing per worker. Because every two workers share one printer (15 printers/30 systems), your calculations should assume only half a printer cost per worker. Desktop and Printer Specifications Each desktop system must satisfy the minimum specifications shown in the following table: MINIMUM DESKTOP SPECIFICATIONS Processor speed 3.1 GHz Hard drive 500 GB RAM 4 GB Monitor (diagonal measurement) 18 inches Each desktop printer must satisfy the minimum specifications shown in the following table: MINIMUM MONOCHROME PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS Print speed (black and white) 20 pages per minute Print resolution 600 × 600 Network ready?
