Question

I attached a picture of the instructions for the excel accounting problem. Please help me understand how to make an excel worksheet with the given information. 

## Excel Differential Analysis Problem

### Objective:
For this Excel problem, you will not be provided with an Excel template. Instead, you will create your own Excel worksheet that will perform a differential analysis when a user inputs the appropriate data.

### Task:

- **Create a Differential Analysis Worksheet:**
  - The template you create will address a “sell or process further” problem. 
  - When the user inputs the data, a differential report will be displayed. There are examples of these reports in your text (Chapter 25); however, you are free to experiment with alternative formats if you wish.

### Data Requirements:
- **Input Data:**
  - All data, both input and output, will be in per unit amounts. The input data will consist of:
    - Sales price per unit before processing further
    - Cost per unit before further processing
    - Cost per unit of additional processing
    - Sales price per unit after additional processing

- **Output Data:**
  - The output data (the data computed and displayed by your template) will consist of (at minimum):
    - The differential revenue of processing further
    - The differential cost of processing further
    - The differential income of processing further

### Check Data:
Check data is provided below:

#### Data Set #1
- **Inputs:**
  - Total cost(s) to selling point: $4 per unit
  - Sales price without further processing: $7 per unit
  - Total cost(s) if processed further: $7 per unit
  - Sales price if processed further: $11 per unit

- **Check Figure:**
  - Differential Income if processed further: $1 per unit

#### Data Set #2
- **Inputs:**
  - Total cost(s) to selling point: $28 per unit
  - Sales price without further processing: $30 per unit
  - Total cost(s) if processed further: $34 per unit
  - Sales price if processed further: $35 per unit

- **Check Figure:**
  - Differential Income if processed further: ($1) per unit

### Instructions:
Use the provided data sets to verify that your Excel worksheet correctly calculates the differential income for a “sell or process further” decision. Experiment with different formats and structure your worksheet effectively to make the input and output data clear and easy to understand.
