I am a realtor and I am trying to create an excel sheet for comparing multiple offer scenarios.

Here are the offers

Offer 1
$200,000
Maximum offer of $225,000
Escalation intervals of $500

Offer 2
$205,000
Maximum offer of $210,000
Escalation intervals of $100
buyer asking for $4500.00 in closing cost
Basically the offer of this is now $200,500

Offer 3
$200,000
Maximum offer of $211,000
Escalation intervals of $1,000

Basically I am looking for a formula that can show escalated offers in a cell for easy comparison as to which one is the winner. So if we did it manually we would know that offer 1 would win because they can go up to $225,000 but the final price would only be $211,500 because of the $500 escalation interval of offer 1 and only needing to exceed offer 3's maximum offer by $500.

Hopefully this is possible with a formula as it would really take all the work out of manually piecing it together. I have attached a screen shot of my spreadsheet for reference. The green line is where I want the formula to automatically show the offer with escalations in play. The offers do not need to exceed the maximum offer in all cases.

Basically what I did is:
1) I made a ranking of the bids from high to low. That is the bid minus closing costs. (column A)
2) The best bid is obviously the winner. (column D)
3) The runner up bid is the base price.
4) I added the interval of the winner, to the best bid of the runner up. (cell G2)
