Redesign the query design to answer the question What is the sport, item name, category, and cost for the category of shoes where the sport is hiking or biking?

Create a query in Design view, using the Cap1 Inventory table to answer the question For each item name, display the cost and calculate the markup for each item if marked up 36% of cost. In addition, calculate the retail price by adding the cost and markup? Add the fields in that order. Name the first calculated field Markup and name the second calculated field Retail Price. Run the query and apply Best Fit to all of the fields. All numeric fields should be formatted as Currency, with 2 Decimal Places. Save the query as Cap1 Markup Query and close it.

Count the Item ID field, and do not include row sums. Name the query Cap1 Crosstab Query and then finish the query. Run the query and apply Best Fit to all of the fields. Save and close the query.
Create a query in Design view using the Cap1 Inventory table that prompts you to enter the Supplier ID, and then answers the question What is the supplier id, sport, category, item name, and cost for inventory items, sorted in ascending order by the item name? Add the fields in that order. The query should prompt an individual to Enter the Supplier ID. Run the query, and type SUPP-04 when prompted for the criteria. Two records match the criteria. Save the query as Cap1 Parameter Query and close it.

Based on your Cap1 Suppliers table, use the Report tool to create a new report. Delete the following fields from the report: Supplier ID, Address, City, State, and Postal Code. Delete the Page Number control. Apply the Facet theme to this object only. Sort the Company field in ascending order. For the Phone field, change the Width property to 1.25. For the Company field, change the Left property to .75 and then close the Property Sheet. Save the report as Cap1 Suppliers Report and then close the report.
Use the Report Wizard to create a report based on the Cap1 Inventory table. Add the following fields to the report: Category, Sport, and Cost, in that order. Group by the Category field.

For the report title, type Cap1 Average Cost by Category. Delete the controls that begin with Summary for ‘Category’. Under Cost, click any text box control, and then set the Width property to 1 and the Left property to 6. At the bottom of the report, in the last column, select the last control that displays the average. Set the Width property to 1 and the Left property to 6.5. Close the Property Sheet. Save and close the report.
