The Finance & Accounting Solver covers corporate finance and financial accounting coursework. Time value of money: present and future value, annuities, perpetuities, growing annuities, effective versus nominal rates. Loan payments and amortization schedules. Capital budgeting: NPV, IRR, payback, profitability index. Bond pricing and yield to maturity. Stock valuation with dividend models. CAPM and WACC. Accounting: journal entries, adjusting entries, T-accounts, trial balance, depreciation by straight-line, declining balance, and units of production, inventory costing by FIFO, LIFO, and weighted average, and ratio analysis from statements. Break-even analysis, contribution margin, cost-volume-profit, budgeting, and cash-flow statements from managerial accounting are covered, along with basic tax and lease calculations when the problem states the rules.

Type the problem with every rate, period, and amount: "PV of $500/month for 5 years at 6% compounded monthly", "NPV of -10,000 today and 3,000 a year for 5 years at 8%", "record the purchase of equipment for $12,000 with $2,000 cash and the rest on a note". Photos of textbook problems and of statements work. State compounding frequency and whether payments are at the beginning or end of the period. Set Answer form to decimal; the solver rounds to cents. For a bond, give the face value, coupon rate, market rate, years, and payment frequency. For a statement problem, paste or photograph the statement and ask for the ratio or the missing line. For depreciation, give the cost, salvage value, useful life, and the method.

Output: the value, the schedule, or the journal entry first. Then the formula in symbols, the substitution with each variable identified, and the arithmetic. Schedules and statements come back as tables. Journal entries show debits before credits with the account names. The working is shown so you can check it against your financial calculator. For elasticity, cost curves, and market models, use the Economics Solver. For statistical analysis of returns, use the Statistics Solver. A follow-up can rerun a valuation at a different rate, produce the full schedule where a summary was given, or post a set of entries to T-accounts and produce the trial balance. Each result is rounded at the end, not during the steps, and the rounding rule is stated.
