Furthermore, we acknowledge that sanctions will be imposed jointly if any part of this work is found to violate the Student Code of Conduct, the Code of Academic Integrity, orthe policies and procedures established for this course. ______________________________ ______________________________Name (printed) Signature______________________________ ______________________________Name (printed) Signature______________________________ ______________________________Name (printed) Signature______________________________ ______________________________Name (printed) Signature______________________________ ______________________________Name (printed) Signature1PLEASE COPY THE COVER SHEET OF THIS ASSIGNMENT ON WHICH EACH TEAM MEMBER, WHO CONTRIBUTED EQUALLY TO THIS ASSIGNMENT, WILL PRINT AND SIGN HIS OR HER NAME. THEN HAND THISIN WITH YOUR JUMP DRIVE THAT CONTAINS AN EXCEL FILE NAMED ‘Project 1 Team #__’. IN THIS FILE, PLACE YOUR SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS #1 & #2. WHEN I CLICK ON A CELL, I MUST BE ABLE TO SEE THE UNDERLYING FORMULA IF THERE IS ONE. ALSO, WHEN I CLICK ON A CHART, I MUST BE ABLE TO SEE EXACTLY HOW THE CHART WAS OBTAINED. PROBLEM #1:Do the following steps in order to find and to graph the Demand Function for Project 1:(i) The Test Market Data that that you downloaded from my web site contains only one worksheet labeled Assignment. Change the units in Assignment to fit the requirements of this project. In cell E10 type “Demand Factor” and in cell F10 type “1.00”.(ii) Add a column to the right of Test Markets entitled National Market. Under that type Yearly # of Sales (K). Follow the instructions given in class to get these numbers or studythe file FuzzyFerretClassSolu.xlsx from my web page (Teams and Data for Project 1).(iii) Graph your demand function. The national market values that you just found are the “q” values and the unit prices are the “D(q)” or “range” values. Be sure give a title to your chart and to both axes; also insert vertical and horizontal gridlines. Adhere to all instructions given in class. (iv) Show the equation of the quadratic trendline on your graph. Extend your graph forward and backward until it touches both axes (it can go a little beyond them). Format the coefficients of this trendline to 8 decimal places. List the values of these coefficients named “a”, “b” and “c” in a chart situated just below the graph. (v) Now change the contents of cell F10 to reflect your change in demand. When you do this,and if you have done everything correctly, then the contents of the column National Market: Yearly # of Sales (K) will change. Also, the equation of your trendline will change so that you will get new values of “a” and “b”; the value of “c” remains the same. Copy these values into another column of your chart that is situated just below your demand graph.PROBLEM #2: Do the following steps in order to find and to graph R(q), C(q) and P(q):(i) Open the file FuzzyFerretClass.xlsx from my webpage and copy the worksheet Big Daddy into your file. Put in all your numbers in the Demand Factor Chart and in the Cost Information Chart.(ii) In the “q” column, list the numbers 0, 1, 2, …. and so forth. You need to list enough q’s so that all graphs except C(q) cross the horizontal axis twice. The graph of C(q) must cross the graph of R(q) twice.(iii) Type formulas for D(q) & R(q). Copy the formula for C(q) from cell F17 in Fuzzy Ferret Bungalows and paste this into your project. Type the formula for R(q). Then FillDown these 4 columns.(iv) Construct a graph of R(q) and C(q) on the same set of axes. R(q) must just cross the horizontal axis twice and C(q) must cross R(q) twice. Adhere to all rules of correct graphing as mentioned in class [e.g., titles, gridlines, graph should fill the space, do not graph lots of negative stuff].In complete sentences, place the answers to the following questions under your graph:(1) According to your graph, what are the range of values of q for which your company makes a profit on your commodity? (2) According to your graph, what is the value of q that gives the maximum profit?(v) Construct a graph of P(q) by itself. This graph must just cross the horizontal axis twice. Adhere to all rules of correct graphing as mentioned in class [e.g., titles, gridlines, graph should fill the space, do not graph lots of negative stuff].In a complete sentence, place the answer to the following question under your graph:(1) According to this graph, what is the value of q that gives the maximum profit?HAND IN TO ME ON , THESE TWO THINGS:(1) A flash drive containing your project work for Problems #1 & #2. Label your file: 115B TEAM #___ .(2) A hardcopy of the cover sheet with your printed names and your signatures if you contributed equally to this
