Problem: You have decided to open your own a computer repair and software engineering company. You need to write up a business proposal to obtain a bank loan. Because the process is quite lengthy, the loan officer has asked you to prepare a short proposal for the bank officers. You want to impress them, so you are going to add tables and a chart showing projected income for the first three years.
Instructions: Perform the following tasks:
1.Create the title page shown in Figure W4A-1. Use appropriate clip art and colors. Add watermark using computer_clipart_cd.gif from location provided by your instructor. Insert a section break. Return to normal style.
2.Insert the draft of the body of the proposal below the title page. The draft is called Word Draft 4 – A and can be found at a location provided by your instructor. The draft of the body of the proposal is shown in Figure W4A-2.
3.Use the data below to create a table below the first paragraph in the proposal. Create a table double-spaced with no borders. Add an empty first row of cells and merge them. In the newly merged row, center, bold, and underline the title ELMPARKVILLAGECOMPUTERCENTER. Center the table.

I am making a loan request based on a detailed financial projection, which demonstrates that by combining $85,000 of my own assets with a loan of $155,000, I can open a computer store and offer consulting services. I will consider securing the loan using the equity in my home as collateral. The loan will allow me to hire a full-time salesperson, a full-time technician, and two part-time salespeople and technicians.
My conservative estimate of revenue and cash flow indicates that I will make a profit after three months and will become self-sustaining after six months. I currently have two small business contracts for supplying 30 computers, and I expect to have a third proposal approved within the next three weeks. Within one year, I expect to double my sales and technical staff to meet growing demand.
ElmParkVillageComputerCenter will offer a wide variety of services to its customers.
