Configuring Default Financial Application Setting
Most financial calculations require that you define certain general parameters that affect
the results they produce. For example, you need to specify whether you use a 360-day or
365-day year, whether payments are made at the beginning of a period or end of a period,
whether interest is compounded annually or semi-annually, etc.
With the Financial application, you use the Financial Format dialog box to configure default
