Calculation conventions

Use i = r/m and n = mt. Keep full formula precision; round final money to cents and APY to 0.01 percentage point. Periodic-rate questions specify four decimal places. Use supplied table factors exactly. Daily compounding uses 365 periods per year; weekly uses 52. Only stated cash flows occur.
