In the following exercises, you'll be working for an analytics company called SupplyData, that specializes in using data to improve the efficiency of business supply chains.

You've been provided with information from a client's manufacturing division. It contains an employee's base hourly rate, Hourly Rate ($), and their weekend rate as a percentage of the hourly rate, Weekend Multiplier (%). Product information like the Cost ($) of raw materials and retail Value ($) are also provided.

In your analysis, you'll compare the costs and revenue associated with manufacturing the products to evaluate the employee's performance.

As a first step, you'll need to designate each day as being a weekend or weekday, as the cost due to wages varies on these days.
