How to Input Answers on the Financial Statement

A financial statement will resemble the image below:



It will consist of headings at the top (some of which you may need to fill in), followed below by a list of accounts and headings, with their associated dollar amounts.

On the left side of each row are tools to help you build the financial statement, such as adding and removing lines, as well as changing the indenting on an account or heading.

Clicking on the long input box will display a small window with accounts and headings listed. This window is the Account Chooser, and it allows you to select one of the accounts or headings to fill in the long input box. See How Do I Use the Account Chooser? for more details.

To input numerical values, click on the box on the right side, and enter a numerical value:



The buttons on the left side of a row allow you to change the lines and indenting:

    *To add a line, click the  button.
    *To remove a line, click the  button.
    *To indent a line, click the  button.

You can also perform certain arithmetical operations, consistent with a previous answer, directly in your answer box. These include the basic operations addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), and exponentiation (^). The input box also includes certain common functions such as log, ln, sin,cos, etc.

(Note that some of these functions may not be available, depending on the product that you are using.)

Keep in mind that if you enter a mathematical expression, it will be evaluated using the proper order of operations.
