Figures formatting 

1. All figures in the text must be provided with the links. Figures must be placed directly after the text where they are mentioned initially, or at the next page. Figures are numbered with Arabic numbers, continuously numbered (for example: Figure 1). Signature to the figure is placed under it at the middle of the line. The word “Figure” is written in full.
2. There is no full stop at the end of the title. 
3. If there are appendixes, then Figures of each appendix must be specified with different numbering with Arabian numbers with adding appendix mentioning before the number (for example: Figure A.3). 

Tables formatting 

1. All tables in the text must have links. Tables must be placed directly after the text where they are mentioned initially, or at the next page. All tables are numbered, numbering is continuous (for example: Table 1). Table of each appendix must be specified with different Arabian number with adding appendix mentioning before the number (for example: Table B.2). The word “Table” is written in full. Titles of tables should be placed before the table on the left, without indention in one line with its number using dash (for example: Table 3 – Firm’s income). There is no full stop in the end.
2. When transferring the table to the next page, the title is placed only above the first part, while the lower horizontal line delimiting the first part of the table is not drawn. Above other parts, the word "Continuation" is also written on the left and the number of the table is indicated (for example: Continuation of table 1). 
3. A table with many columns can be divided into parts and placed one part under another within one page. If the rows and columns of the table go beyond the page format, then in the first case, the head is repeated in each part of the table, in the second case - the side. When dividing a table into parts, it is allowed to replace its head or side, respectively, with the number of columns and rows. In this case, the columns and (or) rows of the first part of the table are numbered in Arabic numbers. 
4. Column and row headers in the table should be capitalized in the singular, and column subheadings should be written with a lowercase letter if they form a single sentence with a heading or capitalized if they have a meaning in their own right. At the end of the headings and subheadings of columns and rows, do not use full stops. Separating headings and subheadings of side columns with diagonal lines is not allowed. 
5. Column headers are usually written parallel to the rows of the table, but if necessary, their perpendicular position is allowed. 
6. Horizontal and vertical lines delimiting the rows of the table may not be drawn if their absence does not complicate the use of the table. But the head of the table must be separated by a line from the rest of the table. 

Formatting formulas and equations

1. Formulas and equations should be separated from the text on a separate line. Leave a blank line above and below each formula or equation. If the equation does not fit on one line, then it must be wrapped after the equal sign (=) or after the plus (+), minus (-) signs, multiplication (x), division (:), or other mathematical signs, and this sign at the beginning of the next line, repeat. When transferring a formula to a sign symbolizing the operation of multiplication, use the sign "x".
2. If you need an explanation of the symbols and coefficients, then they are given immediately below the formula in the same sequence in which they appear in the formula.
3. All formulas are numbered. Usually, the numbering is continuous. The number is put down in Arabic numerals in parentheses in the extreme right position on the line.
4. A = a: b (1)
5. Formulas in appendixes have separate numbering within each appendix with mentioning the appendix before number, for example: (B.2).
