THE CONCEPT OF SHAREWARE
"Shareware" (also referred to as User Supported Software) is
a distribution method used to provide the public with useful
software at a very low cost.
It involves a low cost distribution method for the author and
a low purchase price for the user. It also allows a user the
opportunity to try out the software and see if it meets their
needs before they decide to become a registered user. If you
continually use the program beyond the "tryout" stage, you're
not being fair to the author who put years of experience and
many hours of labor into the production of the program. Your
contribution will also encourage the author to improve this
program and develop others.
The registration fee for this program is $10.00. Please see
information regarding registration at the end of this
documentation.

financial ratios of their business.

Input:
After making a choice of the ratio you wish to calculate from
the main menu screen you'll see a brief description of the
ratio and be asked to input certain pieces of data. All the
data, for all the ratios should be available on your Profit
and Loss Statement and Balance Sheet. In the case of some of
the ratios the input requested will require that you
externally add two or three pieces of data together, before
entering a figure to the program.
All figures should be entered as figures alone with no
commas, dollar signs, percent signs etc. Two decimal points
are OK.
After entering the above data, the ratio will be calculated
and appear at the bottom of the screen. Pressing any key
will return you to the main menu where you can choose another
ratio or EXIT from the program.amount of the monthly payment
"KeyRatio" is intended to be a quick, simple program for you
to use to find the most common Key Business Ratios for your
business.
The program calculates figures based on your input and
automatically displays the ratio for you.
"KeyRatio" is not in any way intended to replace basic, sound
generallly accepted financial management practices. It is
simply intended as a means to quickly determine a variety of
standard accepted Key Business Ratios for you with minimum
input and effort on your part.
Disclaimer:
While we have made every effort to make "KeyRatio" as simple
to use and as accurate as possible, no warranty or guarantee
is offered with the program, either expressed or implied. We
further disclaim any responsibility for claim for damages,
either incidental or consequential, in connection with or
