Business

For undergraduate courses in Office Machines, Business Machines, Calculating Machines, or Electronic Calculators, or for a low level, brief Business Math course.

This relevant, accurate and detail-oriented text shows students how to apply their 10-key and electronic calculator knowledge to real-life situations on a page-by-page basis. It empowers future office workers with skills and competency as it teaches them how to effectively use a calculator to solve today's business mathematical applications. This text provides a thorough review of the basic mathematics needed for successful completion of an office machines course. It helps students develop speed and accuracy in performing four basic mathematical functions, and offers myriad opportunities for them to apply their knowledge with an extensive number of business mathematical application problems, similar to the ones a typical employee would encounter in the real world.

• NEW - Integrated coverage of using the calculator function of the computer numeric keyboard.

  • Allows students to practice solving problems using both electronic calculators and their computer's calculator function.

• NEW - Excel spreadsheet problems—Included in the simulation project.

  • Helps students learn how to apply this common business application in actual business situations.

• Self-contained practice set on CD: “Woodside Apartments”—Includes an extensive and in-depth practice set that is cumulative and completely contained within the text; takes approximately six hours to finish and has 49 different forms for students to complete.

  • Gives students practical, on-the-job experience, and provides a valuable capstone activity that reviews and reinforces important concepts at the end of the course.

• Extensive business mathematical applications—Offers more business applications than any other text of its kind on the market.

  • Exposes students to the full range of training materials they will encounter on the job.
