Week 8 Final Project

The Scenario: Tony Spacken, Sales Manager, has an Excel workbook listing properties for sale. If a property is sold, Select National Properties Group will finance the property loan for 30 years at 7.5% interest. If the monthly payment of a property is greater than $300,000, the company will give the buyer a 1% discount of the selling price. Lavern Gallen is interested in purchasing the Pleasant Properties Warehouse, one of the company’s properties. She lives at 4231 Center Drive, Tempe, TX 76501.
