...1.) According to Miller (2014) “there is generally a direct relationship between price and quantity supplied; as the price rises, the quantity supplied rises”(p. 58). How this concept affects me and my family is that we are victims of the market place. My family and myself cannot rely on prices remaining constant so we may end up having to pay more at times because of the laws of supply and which way that pendulum may be swinging at any given time. In short, because there has been more of a demand for something and therefore more is being supplied, I may even have to do without it because I choose not to buy it due to a price increase. 2.) According to Miller (2014) “another factor is ceteris paribus, conditions of supply; they include the prices of resources (inputs) used to produce the product, technology and productivity, taxes and subsidies, producers’ price expectations, and the number of firms in the industry” (p. 62. How this affects me and my family is let’s say that I was going to buy a refrigerator, the cost of products to produce refrigerators has risen, this will increase the cost of the refrigerator in the long run, at that point it would be best to wait it out and buy when the price evens out again. Another way that this theory affects the economy and my family is that if timber were to increase in price, it would raise the price of resources used to produce homes which in turn increases the price...

...networking site LinkedIn. I will receive a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Finance from University of Houston - Victoria in May 2015. I have one year experience as a real estate appraiser trainee with First Choice Appraisal compiling and analyzing data, inspection of properties, and report writing. My degree in Finance has given me the opportunity to apply financing strategies to the cost figures of an appraisal report. The financial fundamental and real estate investment classes have taught me to evaluate interest rates, asset prices and, cash flows that are essential in appraisal reports to determine the highest and best use of the property. The classes also allowed a “hands-on” experience with Microsoft Office Word and Excel which are commonly used in this industry to create reports and charts. These skills have allowed me to create professional formatting and charts to help banks and clients understand the determined market value of a property. During my year of experience as a trainee I have learned that this field is very meticulous. The skills I have developed have allowed me to pay attention to close details about the property that are important and describe conditions as is exactly.

...The intent of this proposal is to describe the effectiveness of switching from Microsoft® Excel to Microsoft ® Access and how internal communications will help modernize the sales department. Let me start by saying that Microsoft® Access is a user-friendly tool and is simple to learn. It provides for the easier adding, subtracting, and altering of data, in addition to offering the ability for more than one user to update tables at the same time. By converting the data we currently hold in Microsoft® Excel spreadsheets to Microsoft ®Access, we will be able to track different aspects of our business more effectively. Benefits delivered once data has been entered in Microsoft® Access: • We will also be able to use the reports to drive positive business results. • We will be able to track sales trends by associate. • We will also be able to track the buying patterns of our customers allowing us to stock the appropriate items by sales surges. • Our sales force will be able to use the database to more effectively streamline their work and understand how to be more productive with our customers. Although many of the items listed above are possible in Microsoft® Excel, the data must be inputted to the spreadsheets and work books and can be more difficult to find the information the user is looking for. Access is the better solution for an extensive customer list. In our business of Party Plates there is a need to categorize certain information to create a database that will...

Before personal computers were common, “spreadsheet” referred to large sheets of lined paper, which were used by people in various businesses to record facts and figures in rows and columns, and then make calculations based on the information. When personal computers first began appearing, one of the first applications was a program released in 1979 called VisiCalc. It was used as a tool for performing spreadsheet style calculations that would have been to difficult to do on a calculator. The program quickly became so popular that people began buying personal computers for their businesses just so they could use VisiCalc. VisiCalc Since then, many other spreadsheet programs have been popular over the years, such as Quattro Pro and Lotus 123. Microsoft Excel was first released in 1985 with newer versions being released every couple of years. The most recent version is Excel 2003 (version 11). © Stephen O’Neil 2005 Page 1 Of 17 www.oneil.com.au/pc Using Microsoft Excel Getting Started How Do Spreadsheets Work?
