values.
4. Standardize date format to DD/MM/YY across all records.
5. Sort the dataset in ascending order based on Quantity.
6. Apply a filter to display only records where Sales (Rs.) is greater than Rs.1000.

Question 3:
A company sells Product A for Rs. 25 per unit. The variable cost per unit is Rs. 15, and the
fixed monthly expenses are Rs. 5,000.
Perform the following analyses using What-If Analysis, Goal Seek, and Solver in Microsoft
Excel:
Dataset:
Parameter Value
Selling Price per Unit (Rs.) 25
Variable Cost per Unit (Rs.) 15
Fixed Costs (Rs.) 5000
Units Sold 300
1. What-If Analysis (Data Table)
Create a Data Table to show the effect of different selling prices (from Rs.20 to Rs.30) on
total profit.
2. Goal Seek Analysis
Use Goal Seek to determine the minimum number of units that must be sold to break even
(i.e., profit = Rs.0).
