SAMPLE SBA 1

Carnival has long been a traditional cultural festival in several Caribbean


territories. Every year, thousands of costumed masqueraders parade
through the streets, dancing to the pulsating sounds of steelband, calypso
and soca. Most of these revelers register to participate in the band of
their choice months before the festivities begin. Organizers of these
bands must utilize management and organizational skills in order to
stage a successful event. As a bandleader of one of these carnival bands,
you are required to utilize suitable spreadsheet to design and implement
computer-based solutions to the tasks involved in the management of
your carnival band.

Spreadsheet

The financial records of the band are maintained using a spreadsheet


application. The names of masqueraders are listed by section. Both men
as well as women may register to play in each section. There are five
sections in the band. The cost of costumes is quoted in US dollars. The
cost by section is $160, $220, $280, $350 and $425 respectively.
Masqueraders are given the option of paying for the costume in three
installments, or paying the full cost in one payment. Many people utilize
the installment option. Single full payment attracts a discount of 10%,
while payment by installments attracts an interest of 15%. Installments
should be spread over three equal payments.

Each masquerader pays an ‘Inclusive’ fee. A $150 Inclusive fee entitles


the masquerader to food, drinks, access to portable bathroom facilities
and bottled water during the carnival parade through the streets.
However, a payment of $50.00 entitles the masquerader to portable
bathroom facilities and bottled water only.

Expenditure is incurred in the provision of several amenities for


masqueraders during the carnival. The bandleader must supply food,
drinks, portable bathroom facilities, transportation, music, security
personnel, and artiste fees. In addition, the costs of material for the
manufacture of costumes as well as labour costs are incurred.

Because of the anticipated large number of masqueraders, the


bandleader has decided to manage the income and expenditure of each
section separately.

You are required to:

1. Design a worksheet(s) which accepts income and expenditure costs


for each section.

Your worksheet must record all payments made by masqueraders,


(a few persons have only made one or two of the required three
installment payments on costumes), the total amount paid by each
person as well as the grand total collected must be calculated.
Costume payments must be made in US dollars. The total
payments made by each person however, must be converted to the
equivalent amount in local currency.

In an appropriate row, count the number of masqueraders in the


section; calculate the total payment on costume, Inclusive fees and
the total overall payment.
The expenditure incurred for each section must also be calculated.
Food is $60.00 per person; drink is $40.00 per person; material is
$150.00 and labour is $75.00. Other services are provided at a flat
rate for the entire band. These are as follows: bathroom- $3000.00;
transport $2500.00; music - $4000.00; security - $1800.00; artiste -
$5000.00. The cost of each flat rate services for each section =
Rate /No. of Sections.
Food and drinks are increased by 15% of the starting per person
cost for each successive section, material is increased by 12% of
the starting cost for each successive section, while labour is
increased by 8% of the starting cost for each successive section.

The total cost of each service for each section = Cost of service X
the number of masqueraders in the section.

Save your spreadsheet as Masqueraders1.
