By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey : Prentice-Hall, c1971Edition: Fourth editionDescription: 566 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmSubject(s): LOC classification:
  • HF 5693 .C87 1971
Contents:
Part One. Commercial Arithmetic--Simple Interest-Application -- Part Two. Commercial Algebra-Compound Interest-Application.
Summary: This revision was undertaken with three main objectives: to bring the major portion of the content up to date, to introduce a sound mathematical basis to business mathematics, and to make the book more useful to Canadian readers. The first objective is achieved by securing more current statistics and by including new approaches, new examples, and new problems. The second objective is achieved by giving a more mathematical treatment of simple interest, compound interest, and annuities. These subjects are presented as an exploitation of simple formulae, each of which contains four unknowns, with a solution found for the fourth unknown when values are assigned to the other three. The third objective is attained by including special notes and explanations where the Canadian theory differs significantly from the theory in the United States.
