  1. Honestly, that's the real solution here. How much accuracy are you allowed to sacrifice in order to speed things up. I'm taking accounting courses right now and there's a bunch of shortcuts that are taken for similar reasons. The result is somewhat different from what it would be with proper math, but it's usually a small amount and you're rarely dealing with more than 4 decimal places when dealing with currency anways. Plus, since people are using one of two sets of rules regarding how these things are don, there usually isn't much trouble.
