Final answer:
When the EXCEL formula '=A$3+B$2' is copied 2 rows down and 3 columns to the right, the resulting formula will become '=D$3+B$4', due to the mixed relative and absolute cell referencing.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the EXCEL formula =A$3+B$2 is copied and pasted from its original location to another cell that is 2 rows down and three columns to the right, the cell references will change based on relative and absolute referencing. The 'A$3' part of the formula uses a column-relative and row-absolute reference, which means that when the formula is moved horizontally (to the right or left), the column letter will change, but the row number will remain the same. Conversely, the 'B$2' part of the formula is column-absolute and row-relative, so when the formula is shifted vertically (up or down), the row number will change, but the column letter will stay the same.
If the formula is moved 2 rows down and 3 columns to the right, the 'A$3' will change to 'D$3', as 'A' moves three columns to the right becoming 'D', but '3' stays constant because of the absolute reference indicated by the dollar sign. Similarly, 'B$2' will change to 'B$4', as only the row number increases by 2, but the column 'B' remains fixed due to the dollar sign preceding it. Therefore, the resulting copied formula will be =D$3+B$4.
