Project 1 � Working with Budgets
Data Files: None
In this project, you will complete a variety of activities that require you todevelop and use a number of spreadsheets related to budgets. In the variousactivities, you will build spreadsheets for budgeting, enter budget data, pre-pare charts, link worksheets, and perform what-if analyses.
Activity 1 � Build the Personal Budget Worksheet

3. Format the cells as Number cells with two decimal places. Insert a sin-gle underline under the last item to be summed in each section.
4. Enter the SUM function for the Total Funds Available and Total Expensesrows, as well as the Monthly Summary column. (Note: When calculatingthe Monthly Summary for Total Funds Available, you will need to modifythe formula to subtract the amount brought forward each month.That extraamount is not additional income; it represents funds not spent and carried for-ward from the previous month.)
5. Key the following comment in the cell for the Monthly Summary: Youmust subtract the balance brought forward from the previousmonth when calculating the Total Funds Available, since theseare not additional funds.
6. Enter a formula to calculate the Balance by subtracting Total Expensesfrom Total Funds Available.
7. Enter a formula to calculate the Percent of Budget Used. You will need todivide the Total Expenses by the Total Funds Available. (Note: An errormessage, such as #DIV/0!, will be displayed in cells with this formula unlessyou include an IF function that keeps the cell blank under specified conditions(i.e., =IF(B14>0,B31/B14,"")) ).
8. If the expense types (i.e.,Allowance, etc.) are not already in alphabeticalorder, sort them by letter.
9. Using the Tools drop-down menu, check all spelling in the spread-sheet.
10. Save the spreadsheet as ssp1a1xx (ss = spreadsheets, p1 = project 1,a1 = activity 1, xx = your initials).

PMT function requires that you make three entries, as shown in Figure2-2 on the following page:• Rate (annual interest rate): Since you are determining monthly pay-
ment, you will need to use a formula to divide the rate by 12, asshown in Figure 2-3.
• Nper (total number of payments): Since the loan is expressed inyears, you will need to use a formula to multiply the number of yearsin the loan period by 12, as shown in Figure 2-3 on the followingpage.
• Pv: Present value of the loan (loan amount).A sample PMT function is =PMT(D5/D12,D6*12,D4).
7. Format the cell for Number of Payments as a number with no decimalplaces. Enter a formula to calculate the total number of payments.
8. Format the cell for Total Cost of the Loan as currency, with a dollar signand two decimal places. Enter the appropriate formula to calculate thetotal cost of the loan, including interest, as shown in Figure 2-4 on page242. (Note: You will need to add the ABS (absolute function) to generate apositive number since the monthly payment is enclosed in parentheses and inter-preted as a negative number.A sample formula would be =ABS(D8*D9).)
9. Format the cell for Total Interest Paid as currency, with a dollar sign andtwo decimal places. Enter the appropriate formula to calculate the totalinterest.

Activity 3 � Analyze the Cost of a Mortgage
Objectives
• Determine the monthly payment for a mortgage• Determine the interest paid for a specific loan payment• Change the page orientation of your spreadsheet• Print and save a worksheet
Completion Time: 45 minutes
A mortgage is a lien against property in which the borrower is givenmoney and the property is used as collateral for the loan. (A loan usuallyrequires the payment of interest in exchange for use of the money.)Mortgages generally span a longer period of time than other types of loans,often 10 to 30 years or more.The interest paid for most mortgages is tax-deductible.
In this activity, you will build a spreadsheet that calculates the interestcosts for a mortgage over various periods of time.
Directions
1. Open a new spreadsheet.2. Open your spreadsheet from Activity 1, ssp2a1xx, and unprotect the
worksheet.3. Copy the appropriate range of cells as shown in Figure 2-6, and paste
the range into cell A1 of the new spreadsheet.

5. Change the title from Determining the Cost of a Loan to Cost ofMortgage.Add the labels shown in row 8.Your worksheet should looksimilar to Figure 2-7 on the following page.
6. The mortgage in this example spans 20 years, or 240 monthly pay-ments. It is important to be able to calculate the interest paid for a spe-cific period of time, such as the first or second year, so that you canidentify the amount of interest that can be used for a tax deduction.Perform this calculation by using the IPMT function.
7. Use the fill handle to enter the month numbers into the appropriatecolumns, as shown below.

8. Enter the IPMT function in the cell to the right of Month 1.TheIPMT function requires the following four entries, as shown in the dia-log box displayed in Figure 2-8. (Note: It is important to use absolute andrelative cell references so you can copy this function to other cells.)• Rate: should reference the cell with the interest rate• Per: should reference the cell indicating the month• Nper: should reference the cell with the number of payments• Pv: should reference the cell with the amount mortgaged

Objectives
• Calculate principal and interest of each payment• Calculate payoff amount for a mortgage• Combine functions and formulas• Use the Freeze Pane function• Use Page Setup
Completion Time: 60 minutes
Directions
1. Open your spreadsheet from Activity 4, ssp2a4xx.2. Add a new worksheet and name it Payoff Amount.3. Insert two new columns as needed to display the principal and balance
of the loan after each payment, similar to that shown in Figure 2-11 onthe following page.
4. Enter a formula in the appropriate cells (in the Principal column) to cal-culate the amount of each payment that represents the amount of prin-cipal paid.This amount is equal to the monthly payment less theamount of interest paid that month. (Note: An efficient way to do thiswould be to insert a formula within the ABS function and to use absolute refer-ences where necessary.After entering the first formula, you can use the Copy andPaste functions or the fill handle to quickly fill in the rest of the cells.)
5. Enter a formula in the appropriate cells (in the Balance column) to cal-culate the balance of the loan after each monthly payment is made.Youwill need to subtract the amount of the payment that represents princi-pal paid from the amount of the loan remaining at the beginning of themonth. (Note: After entering the first formula, you can use the Copy andPaste functions or the fill handle to quickly fill in the rest of the cells.)
6. If your spreadsheet is accurate, the balance after payment 12 should be$98,239.06.The balance after the final payment (240) should be $0.00.If you did not get these results, check the formulas in your spreadsheet.
7. Freeze the panes after the column showing the months and below theInterest, Principal, and Balance column headings. Scroll down to ensurethat the column headers still appear.
8. Use Page Setup to change the page orientation to Landscape and fit thespreadsheet to a single page.
9. Preview the spreadsheet and then print a copy of it.10. Save the spreadsheet as ssp2a5xx.
