Title overview

Business Math is a practical, thorough guide that empowers you to manage your personal and business finances. Based on the premise that everyone needs to understand how to manage money, it offers a rare deep dive into topics not always taught in a classroom setting. Its conversational tone, real-world examples and abundant case studies keep complicated topics understandable and engaging. A wealth of learning aids like How To, Stop and Check, Tip, Did You Know? and many more help you master and retain concepts. The 12th Edition, Global Edition, offers expanded Excel templates and exercises. It is revised substantially to keep applications and data current, update tax procedures and tables, incorporate new trends and laws, and much more.
