You are shopping for office supplies and furnishings for your company, Financial Outsourcing, Inc. Use the comparative shopping web search engines in the Library to conduct the following research. (Hint: On the "Search Library by Name" tab, search for "comparative shopping" or similar phrases.) You may also use additional Internet sites. Cite all of your resources.

Choose three physical products you would like to buy (e.g., office supplies, furniture, books).
Find a web site that allows you to purchase these items online. Find the price of each item and the total price of all items (not including shipping). Find out what your home state's sales tax is and determine the actual amount that would be charged to your company's credit card.

Organize this information using a spreadsheet.

Select one of the three products and find the identical product on two other web sites. Compute the sales tax for a state other than yours. Is the tax different? Why or why not? Be sure to include how you found the solution, the date on which you researched prices from the on-line catalogs, and the Internet stores you chose.
Your assignment must include both your answers and your spreadsheet.
