Case 11-2 At Last! Copies of the Next Year's Branch Office Budget

question 21

Multiple Choice

Case 11-2
At last! Copies of the next year's branch office budget workbook are ready for distribution to all the branch office managers. Each manager will edit next year's budget projections for their office's operations, as necessary, and then return his or her edited copy of the workbook to you. The branch offices are located around the country; two branch office managers have resource limitations that determine which distribution method you must use.
-The branch manager in Bangor, Maine calls to tell you that he is snowed in at home! He spent the weekend developing his office's budget numbers, but for the next few days he will not be able to get to the office to access the network or his office email account. He does have a home computer with Excel 2013 installed and Internet access. Unfortunately, the email provider he uses at home restricts the size of email attachments, and the budget workbook is enormous. You decide that the best approach is to ____.

• A) save a copy of the budget workbook in the Excel 97-2003 Template format; then use SharePoint Services to distribute the workbook to the branch office manager
• B) publish the final budget workbook without the branch office manager's edited projections
• C) postpone the publication of the final budget workbook for several days until the snow is gone and the branch manager can get to the office and edit the shared workbook
• D) ask the branch manager to use Windows Live SkyDrive to distribute the budget workbook file over the Internet
