⦁ Switch to the Process worksheet. Create a Scatter with Straight Lines chart based on range D6:I14 in the data table Process Consulting – Net Income Analysis.
⦁ Modify the new chart as follows:
⦁ Resize and reposition the chart so that it covers the range D15:I32.
⦁ Remove the chart title from the chart.
⦁ Reposition the chart legend to the right of the chart.
⦁ Add Net Income as the vertical axis title and Hours Contracted as the horizontal axis title.
⦁ Change the colors of the chart to Monochromatic Palette 1 (1st row in the Monochromatic palette).
⦁ Change the Bounds Axis Options for the new chart as follows:
⦁ Change the Minimum Bounds of the vertical axis to -100,000 and the Maximum Bounds to 650,000.
⦁ Set the horizontal axis to cross at the axis value -100,000.
⦁ Change the Number format of the vertical axis to Currency with 0 Decimal places and $ as the Symbol.
⦁ Change the Minimum Bounds of the horizontal axis to 3,500 and the Maximum Bounds to 7,500.
⦁ Edit the chart series names as follows:
⦁ For Series 1, use cell E5 as the series name.
⦁ For Series 2, use cell F5 as the series name.
⦁ For Series 3, use cell G5 as the series name.
⦁ For Series 4, use cell H5 as the series name.
⦁ For Series 5, use cell I5 as the series name.
⦁ Cairo Consulting wants to determine whether reselling process consulting services provided by third parties would reduce the costs of this type of consulting. Switch to the Process Providers worksheet, and then run Solver to solve this problem as follows:
⦁ Set the objective as minimizing the value in cell E10 (Total Costs).
⦁ Use the range B4:D4 as the changing variable cells.
Adjust the hours provided by each company using the following constraints:
⦁ E4=5500, the total hours of process consulting signed
⦁ E10 is less than or equal to 1350000, the maximum third-party fees
⦁ B4:D4 is less than or equal to 5000, the maximum hours provided by a single third-party provider
⦁ B4:D4 should be an Integer
⦁ Run Solver, keep the solution, and then return to the Solver Parameters dialog box. Save the model to the range A14:A21, and then close the Solver Parameters dialog box.
⦁ Switch to the All Types worksheet. Use the Scenario Manager to create a Scenario Summary report that summarizes the effect of the Status Quo, Third Party, and Raise Rates scenarios. Use the range B17:D17 as the result cells.
