Question (Excel) A suburban gas company gives a discount on propane heating
fuel to residential customers based on the quantity purchased. Write a formula which
calculates the correct price to charge a customer based on the following conditions:
· no discount (zero dollars off the total amount due) if the customer purchases less
than 500 gallons of propane
· a five percent discount on all fuel purchased if the customer buys less than 2,000
gallons of propane
· a ten percent discount on all fuel purchased if the customer buys 2,000 gallons or
more of propane
Assume that cell A1 shows the total quantity (in gallons) of propane purchased and
cell B1 is the price per gallon. The formula should calculate the total amount that the
customer should pay, after discount (if any) has been applied.
Answer
=IF(A1<500,A1*B1,IF(A1<2000,A1*B1*.95,A1*B1*.90))
=IF(A1<500, A1*B1, IF(A1<2000, A1*B1*.95, A1*B1*.90))
=A1*IF(A1<500,B1,IF(A1<2000,B1*0.95,B1*0.90))

Question (Excel) What critical error is inherent within the following formula,
assuming that it is entered into cell BB5 of the same worksheet?
=IF(AVERAGEIF(AA2:AA6, ">55000") <> (SUM(BB2:BB6)), "D9")
•
•
•
•
•
•
Answer
There is no argument for the value_if_false portion of the IF statement
D9 is a valid cell reference and should not be included in a text string
There are too many sets of parenthesis within the IF function
Cell references in the formula refer to the formula's result, thus creating a
circular reference
The ampersand sign ("&") is missing from the AVERAGEIF function

Question (Excel) Assume that your insurance company offers three
different payment plans for paying the premium on your vehicle. If you pay
the six-month premium of $500 by the due date, you will owe only that
amount. If you elect a "Monthly" payment option, the insurance company
will bill you five times over the six-month period for 20% of the amount due
plus a service fee of $5 per billing cycle for not paying the entire amount
due initially. If you choose a "Quarterly" option for payment, you will be
billed twice for half the premium due plus a service fee of $3 per billing cycle
for not paying the entire amount in full. Create a formula in the answer
space provided that will determine the correct amount to charge the
customer for the initial bill payment based on a "Monthly" or "Quarterly"
selection vs. all at once. Note: You should use these two given payment
terms as defined names for the payment type selected in your formula.
Answer
=IF(Monthly,500*.2+5,IF(Quarterly,500/2+3,500))
=IF(Monthly, 500*.2+5, IF(Quarterly, 500/2+3, 500))

Question (Excel) A local gas station is offering a discount on fuel to any customer
that uses their debit card to make a significant purchase of fuel. Assume the following
business rules apply to the sale:
The number of gallons pumped is stored in cell A1 of a worksheet
•
The baseline price per gallon (PPG) is provided in cell B1 of the same worksheet
•
A named field (Debit) has been set-up in the point of sale (POS) hardware to indicate
the use of a debit card with a Boolean TRUE condition
For customers who use their debit card and purchase at least ten gallons of fuel, the
discount will be five cents per gallon
No discount for fuel will be given to customers who pay in cash or with a credit card
Create a formula that will determine the total amount that a customer will pay for their
fuel purchase whether they use cash, credit or a debit card.
