Business calculation skills in the corporate world today are astonishingly weak. The main reason for this, David Zidel has found, is that many people have a completely irrational 'fear of numbers'. Others may have skills that have become rusty, and some have only minimal numerical abilities. Basic Business Calculations will show you how easy it really is to become really adept at the most commonly used business calculations. It focuses on practical, simple examples and it takes the user for the basics, without assuming much prior knowledge and following a step-by-step approach, until clear understanding is reached. This updated edition includes a chapter on personal financial fitness which covers topics such as home loan repayments, credit card debt and how to accumulate wealth through systematic savings.
