5. Model: create a spreadsheet model of the shelter's finances.
You need to create a model of the shelter's finances in its first year.
The model should accept:
text such as the types of animals and job titles of staff
currency amounts such as the grant, the annual cost of feeding an animal, or an employee’s salary
numeric data such as the number of animals to be cared for.
The model should calculate:
the total amount of space used in m2
the overall cost of running the shelter for a year
the remaining space and money available.
The overall aim is to provide the best care for as many animals as possible.
Your model must allow you to ask ‘what-if’ questions such as:
If I increase the number of animals, will I have to reduce the number of members of staff?
If I reduce the quality of food, will I be able to care for more animals?

6. You may need to add or delete cells as you go along.
Getting Started
Save Model.xls into your Activity 2 folder
4 worksheets: ‘Overview’, ‘Animals’, ‘Staff’, and ‘Chart’.
The design is for a basic model that works out the total expenditure on looking after the animals and paying the staff. It also works out the space used.
The ‘Chart’ worksheet can be used to store charts that provide a breakdown of the costs.
There are many ways in which the model could be extended and these are outlined in the ideas document.
Any decisions that you make about your model and any assumptions that you make should be explained in your Activity 2 review.
Make sure that you record the sources you use in your sources table(s).
You may need to add or delete cells as you go along.

7. Set up & Formatting
Change the colours to match your general colour theme
Add your logo to each worksheet
Change the data types so that they match the sort of data in each cell
Update your Sources to say you have used your logo in your Activity 2 Model
Enter the name of your shelter in the Overview worksheet
Enter the sort of animals your shelter will house

8. Animals worksheet Next slide has more info
Use your Investigation from Activity 1 to help.
List the animals in more detail in the Animals column. Record any websites used in your sources table.
Complete the Medical Costs, Feed, Bedding columns – remember it is for 1 year
Highlight in red any columns you will have as a ‘what if’ scenario
As you go along:
Update your sources table with any websites used
Record any assumptions in your Review

9. You could choose this sort of layout
REMEMBER
Instead of this…
It is up to YOU how much detail you wish to go into. Example: on the Animals worksheet, you may want to break down the medical costs rather than have one total
You could choose this sort of layout

10. Use your Investigation from Activity 1 to help.
Staff worksheet
Use your Investigation from Activity 1 to help.
List the staff roles in the Jobs column. Record any websites used in your sources table.
Complete the Salary column - remember it is for 1 year
As you go along:

12. Linking worksheets
Use formulae that link worksheets wherever necessary to ensure you produce meaningful

13. Adding functions Conditional Formatting VLOOKUP
Developer tools e.g. Spin Buttons
You can use the above functions to help enhance the model.
Remember:
The overall aim is to provide the best care for as many animals as possible.
Your model must allow you to ask ‘what-if’ questions such as:
If I increase the number of animals, will I have to reduce the number of members of staff?
If I reduce the quality of food, will I be able to care for more animals?

14. Enhancing the model
You a printed version of ideas for enhancing your model.

15. Making the model complex
Some ideas of what to use:
Conditional formatting
IF statements
VLOOKUP
MAX MIN AVERAGE functions
AND MORE…
You should only use functions when they are needed, not for the sake of using them.

16. Testing the Model Orange book – page 215 – 216
Read pages photocopied from text book
Create a test plan with 2 sections: Usability & Accuracy
Keep a record of how you fixed any errors and retested to write in Review
Test Buddy Feedback – refer to page 216
Use your test plan/create a new one for your Test Buddy
Remember: your tested model and explanation of testing in your Review will be marked NOT you test plan/s

17. Amend your model to be able to explore these two options.
Completing the model
For your next task you should be able to show how the shelter would run on a grant of £300,000 as well as £500,000
Amend your model to be able to explore these two options.

18. CHECKPOINT Make sure your sources table is up to date

21. Planning the structure of your report
In the header and/or footer include the logo and shelter name (if you think they would be better placed elsewhere that is fine)
Create a Table of Contents so that you can plan the structure of your report. You must include an explanation of how you tried to achieve the overall aim.
Write your introduction (approx. 100 words)
