Problem Q18.9
a. Step 1: Normally, only orders actually received are considered purchases for purposes of calculating accounts payable. Therefore, begin with a query of the Receive Inventory table (or M:N relationship table linking the Order Inventory and Receive Inventory events) and the Supplier table to determine which orders have been received this fiscal period. The supplier table is needed in order to restrict the result to only those suppliers located in Arizona. Step 2: Query the Order Inventory Inventory table to determine the total amount purchased this fiscal period by summing the product of quantity ordered by its unit cost for those purchase orders for which there is a corresponding receipt of inventory (from step 1). Step 3: Retrieve the total beginning balance of Accounts Payable by querying the Suppliers table and summing the beginning balance column, restricting the sum operation to only those suppliers located in Arizona. Step 4: Query the Disburse Cash and Supplier tables to calculate the total amount paid to suppliers located in Arizona this fiscal period by summing the amount column for every row in the Disburse Cash table for which the supplier number equals the primary key of a row in the Supplier table that has a value of Arizona in its address column. Step 5: Total Accounts Payable to Arizona Suppliers = Answer to Query 2 + Answer to Query 3 Answer to Query 4. b. Step 1: Identify all sales to Smith by writing a query that joins the Sales and Customer tables, where the value of the customer# in the Sales table equals the primary key in the row of the Customer table where the name = Smith. Step 2: Sum the product of quantity sold times unit price in the M:N Sales-Inventory table for only those rows with sales invoice numbers identified in step 1. c. Pay rates are likely to differ across employees. Therefore, calculate total wage expense by summing the wage expense for each employ, as follows: Step 1: Query the Time Worked table to sum the total hours worked, grouped by employee number. Step 2: Query the table produced in step 1 and the Employee table to calculate the total wages earned by each employee (by multiplying total hours worked times that employees pay rate). Step 3: Sum the total amounts in the table produced in step 2.

d. Total wages payable equals wages earned but not yet paid. Thus, use the same procedure as used to calculate total wage expense, except restrict step 1 to only those rows in the Time Worked table for which the paycheck# column is null. e. Step 1: Write a query to sum the quantity received in the M:N relationship table linking the Receive Inventory event and the Inventory table for only those rows with a particular value in the item# column. Step 2: Write a query to sum the quantity sold in the M:N Sales-Inventory relationship table for only those rows with the same item# as used in step 1. Step 3: Net change in quantity-on-hand for that item = Query 1 Query 2. f. Step 1: Write a query to calculate total sales by summing the product of quantity sold times unit price in the Sales-Inventory M:N relationship table. Step 2: Write a query to identify all sales to walk-in customers by listing all sales invoices in the Sales table for which the order number column is null. Step 3: Repeat step 1, but restrict the calculation to only those rows in the Sales-Inventory table for which the sales invoice number appeared in the step 2 query. Step 4: Divide query 3 by query 1. g. Step 1: Write a query to calculate total sales by summing the product of quantity sold times unit price in the Sales-Inventory M:N relationship table. Step 2: Write a query to identify all sales to walk-in customers by listing all sales invoices in the Sales table for which the order number column is null. Step 3: Repeat step 1, but restrict the calculation to only those rows in the Sales-Inventory table for which the sales invoice number appeared in the step 2 query. Step 4: Divide query 3 by query 1. h. Step 1: Write a query to identify all rows in the Sales table that occurred in October. Step 2: Write a query that counts the number of rows in the response to query 1, grouped by employee number.

Step 3: Write a query that identifies the employee number in query 2 that has the maximum value in the count column. Step 4: Write a query that joins the result of query 3 with the employee table to display both the employee number and name. i. Step 1: Write a query against the M:N Sales-Inventory relationship table that sums the quantity sold column, grouped by product number. Step 2: Write a query against the table resulting from query 1, that identifies the item number with the maximum value in the total quantity sold column. Step 3: Write a query that joins the result of query 2 with the inventory table to display both the item# and its description.
