Finkit 20 X

PARANZASOFT RELEASES FINKIT 2.0 FOR MAC OS X ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FinKit 2.0 is a major upgrade of our flexible and intuitive financial calculator that lets you calculate annuities, bonds, dates, interest, loans, leases, rates, and more. One of the most noticeable improvements - suggested by one of our users - is the possibility to switch between dates view or periods view for the calculations that display an amortization schedule. Among many enhancements, FinKit now includes an advanced interest on deposit calculator that calculates simple and compound interest using fixed or variable rates and six day count conventions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ? The Interest between Dates calculation is now a fully featured interest on deposit calculator. Simple and compound interest can be calculated using fixed or variable rates, six day count methods and four interest rounding options. ? The new Date Series calculation lets users set up a series of dates and view the number of days for the intervals according to four day count conventions. For periods ranging from annually to monthly, six date adjustment options are available. ? The new Year Fraction calculation lets users calculate the time between dates as a fraction of a year according to six day count conventions. Furthermore it displays the number of leap days and the number of full leap years between two dates. ? For calculations that involve periodic payments users can now switch between date view and period/year view by clicking the header of the first details column. ? A new Date Options dialog was added to enable user to either enter a date, or, to automatically use the current date. Users can also specify how end of month dates are handled. ? When a user switches to variable rates in the Interest between Dates calculation and no valid table is found in the FinKit Tables folder, a new default table containing sample data is automatically created. ? To avoid confusion with the other day count conventions, the header for the days column in the Variable Interest Tables window now indicates clearly that it displays actual days. ? The Zero-coupon Bond Price and Zero-coupon Bond Yield calculations can now calculate using annually to daily compounding frequencies. Previously only semiannual compounding was used. ? The range for the quote in the Zero-Coupon Bond Yield calculation is now 10 to 100 (was 25 to 99.9). ? The range for the quote in the Bond Yield calculation is now 50 to 150 (was 75 to 125). ? When a calculation can display details, a disclosure triangle apears at the bottom of the window to make it easier to show or hide the details. ? The Page Setup is now stored in preferences. ? Scroll-wheel support ? Results and variable interest tables can now be saved directly as Word or Excel documents. ? The Currencies window now automatically uses the proxy settings in the Network System Preferences. ? Input validation and restoring of the focus have been completely revised. ? Some smaller interface changes were made to conform to the Apple Human Interface Guidelines. ? Help pages were added or changed to account for the new or changed calculations, day count conventions and date adjustment options. ? A few incorrect Help Tags were fixed. ? In the Italian version some bugs which caused controls and labels to be incorrectly placed have been fixed. ? The Register dialog now lets users purchase a license using their web browser or using an integrated option. To avoid problems when a serial number is not entered correctly, the integrated option will automatically enter it for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ----------------------------…
