Goal Seek
After looking over your finances you discovered that you can only afford to make a monthly payment of about a $1,000. But one of your wealthy uncle has agreed to help out by giving you the down payment to make it possible.
You will use Goal Seek to determine what amount you will need for a down payment in order to obtain a monthly payment of $1000.00 for the number of months that you have decided to finance your car.
Be sure that I can check your Goal seek in your worksheet. In other words, you need to check your worksheet after you have completed it and check if all select cells in Goal seek is selected.
Memo
Since your wealthy uncle is a very busy businessman he will need you to write a memo telling him how you arrived at the down payment that you will need from him. This means that you will provide him with details as to what the variables are in your goal seek (terms, interest rate payment etc..)
You may use any memo style (Microsoft Word template). To see a list of memo style: In Microsoft Word click on Edit, New, select an appropriate memo format to use.
