1. How much does this cost to make?

2. Who gets the money?

3. How is a profit calculated?

4. A reminder of “IF” statements in excel
What is an IF statement?
An IF function tests the condition of the cell (e.g. whether the sales total has passed the target)
and THEN takes appropriate action (e.g. Display a message).

5. An example:
=IF(F5>5000, “over 5000”, “Below 5000”)
The formula begins =IF because it is an IF function
The () brackets are testing the following:
IF F5 is greater than > 5000 THEN, first comma
Display the message “over 5000”
IF not, second comma
Display the message “below 5000”
