2.3. Why are there so many places after the decimal point in the rate field?

We put 4 there because proper rounding is critical in accounting.  We found in the past that sometimes with only 2 places after the decimal, prices weren't properly rounded and therefore might not match figures brought into QuickBooks or over to other accounting programs.  Those fractions of a penny could cause audit issues, etc.  With EstiMate 2.0, we have eliminated that concern, by fine tuning the rate price to 4 places after the decimal.  It has been done intentionally.
