Spreadsheet assignments: Problems 10 and 24 from textbook.
Note: For the spreadsheet for problem 10, assume:
1) the cost of the project is depreciated over the life of the project on a straight-line basis
2) cost of goods sold is a fixed percentage of sales (I plan to change this percentage when checking spreadsheets).
3) taxes are a fixed percentage of net operating income (I plan to change this percentage when checking spreadsheets).
4) When checking spreadsheets, I will give all dollar amounts in thousands (like most of the information in the textbook). Thus, initial given values: sales = 30,000; capital expenditure = 25,000; net working capital = 10,000.
