Overview of Calculator Operations 5
Changing the number of decimal places affects the display only. Except 
for amortization and depreciation results, the calculator does not round 
internal values. To round the internal value, use the round function. (See 
“Rounding & o” on page 10.)
Note: All examples in this guidebook assume a setting of two decimal 
places. Other settings might show different results.
Choosing the Angle Units
The angle unit value affects the display of results in trigonometric 
calculations. When you select radians, the RAD indicator appears in the 
upper right corner of the display. No indicator appears when you select 
the default setting of degrees.
Using Dates
The calculator uses dates with the Bond and Date worksheets and the 
French depreciation methods. To enter dates, use this convention: 
mm.ddyy (US) or dd.mmyy (European). After you key in the date, press 
!.
Choosing Calculation Methods
When you choose the chain (Chn) calculation method, the calculator 
solves problems in the order that you enter them. (Most financial 
calculators use Chn.)
For example, when you enter 3 H 2 < 4 N, the Chn answer is 20 (3 + 2 = 5, 
5 * 4 = 20).
Using AOSé (algebraic operating system), the calculator solves problems 
according to the standard rules of algebraic hierarchy, computing 
multiplication and division operations before addition and subtraction 
operations. (Most scientific calculators use AOS.)
For example, when you enter 3 H 2 < 4 N, the AOS answer is 11 (2 Q 4 = 
8; 3 + 8 = 11). 
Resetting Default Values
To reset default values for all of the calculator formats, press & 
z with one of the formats displayed.

6 Overview of Calculator Operations
Resetting the Calculator
Because the calculator includes alternative methods that let you clear 
data selectively, use reset carefully to avoid losing data needlessly. (See 
“Clearing Calculator Entries and Memories” on page 6.)For example, you 
might reset the calculator before using it for the first time, when starting 
a new calculation, or when having difficulty operating the calculator and 
other possible solutions do not work. (See “In Case of Difficulty” on 
page 100.)
Pressing & } !
1. Press & }. The RST ? and ENTER indicators appear.
Note: To cancel reset, press & U. 0.00 appears.
2. Press !. RST and 0.00 appear, confirming that the calculator is

Overview of Calculator Operations 11
For example, working in the Bond worksheet, you might want to round a 
computed selling price to the nearest penny (two decimal places) before 
continuing your calculation.
Note: The calculator stores values to an accuracy of up to 13 digits. The 
decimal format setting rounds the displayed value but not the 
unrounded, internally stored value. (See “Choosing the Number of 
Decimal Places Displayed” on page 4.) 
Scientific Notation ;
When you compute a value in the standard-decimal format that is either 
too large or small to be displayed, the calculator displays it in scientific 
notation, that is, a base value (or mantissa), followed by a blank space, 
followed by an exponent.
With AOS™ selected, you can press ; to enter a number in scientific 
notation. (See “Choosing Calculation Methods” on page 5.)

P/Y and C/Y.
• Entering a value for P/Y automatically enters the same value for C/Y. 
(You can change C/Y.)
Specifying Payments Due With Annuities
Use END/BGN to specify whether the transaction is an ordinary annuity 
or an annuity due.
•Set 
END for ordinary annuities, in which payments occur at the end 
of each payment period. (This category includes most loans.) 
•Set BGN for annuities due, in which payments occur at the beginning 
of each payment period. (This category includes most leases.) 
Note: When you select beginning-of-period payments, the BGN indicator 
appears. (No indicator appears for END payments.)
Updating P1 and P2
To update P1 and P2 for a next range of payments, press % with P1 or 
P2 displayed.
Different Values for BAL and FV
The computed value for BAL following a specified number of payments 
might be different than the computed value for FV following the same 
number of payments.
• When solving for BAL, PRN, and INT, the calculator uses the PMT 
value rounded to the number of decimal places specified by the 
decimal format.

approaches zero as N increases, you can use these equations to solve for 
the present value of a perpetual annuity: 
• Perpetual ordinary annuity
• Perpetual annuity due

Answer: The present value of the cash flows is $23,171.23, which exceeds 
the machine’s cost by $171.23. This is a profitable investment. 
Note: Although variable cash flow payments are not equal (unlike 
annuity payments), you can solve for the present value by treating the 
cash flows as a series of compound interest payments. 
The present value of variable cash flows is the value of cash flows 
occurring at the end of each payment period discounted back to the 
beginning of the first cash flow period (time zero).

Cash Flow Worksheet 43
Uneven and Grouped Cash Flows
Uneven Cash Flows
The Cash Flow worksheet analyzes unequal cash flows over equal time 
periods. Cash-flow values can include both inflows (cash received) and 
outflows (cash paid out).
All cash-flow problems start with an initial cash flow labeled CFo. CFo is 
always a known, entered value.
Grouped Cash Flows
Cash-flow problems can contain cash flows with unique values as well as 
consecutive cash flows of equal value.
Although you must enter unequal cash flows separately, you can enter 
groups of consecutive, equal cash flows simultaneously using the Fnn 
variable.
Entering Cash Flows
Cash flows consist of an initial cash flow (CFo) and up to 32 additional 
cash flows (C01-C32), each of which can have a unique value. You must 
enter the number of occurrences (up to 9,999), or frequency (F), for each 
additional cash flow (C01-C32).
• The calculator displays positive values for inflows (cash received) and 
negative values for outflows (cash paid out). 
• To clear the Cash Flow worksheet, press & z.
To enter cash flows:

When you delete a cash flow, the calculator decreases the number of 
subsequent cash flows automatically.
The DEL indicator confirms that you can delete a cash flow.
1. Press # or " until the cash flow you want to delete appears.
2. Press & W. The cash flow you specified and its frequency is 
deleted. 
Inserting Cash Flows
When you insert a cash flow, the calculator increases the number of the 
following cash flows, up to the maximum of 32.
Note: The INS indicator confirms that you can insert a cash flow.

Cash Flow Worksheet 45
1. Press # or " to select the cash flow where you want to insert the 
new one. For example, to insert a new second cash flow, select C02.
2. Press & X.
3. Key in the new cash flow and press !. The new cash flow is 
entered at C02.
Computing Cash Flows
The calculator solves for these cash-flow values:
• Net present value (NPV) is the total present value of all cash flows, 
including inflows (cash received) and outflows (cash paid out). A 
positive NPV value indicates a profitable investment.
• Net future value (NFV) is the total future value of all cash flows. A 
positive NFV value also indicates a profitable investment.
• Payback (PB) is the time required to recover the initial cost of an 
investment, disregarding the present value of the cash inflows (time 
value of money).
• Discounted payback (DPB) is the time required to recover the initial 
cost of an investment using the present value of the cash inflows 
(time value of money).
• Internal rate of return (IRR) is the interest rate at which the net 
present value of the cash flows is equal to 0.
• Modified internal rate of return (MOD) considers the reinvestment 
of cash when solving for IRR.
Computing NPV, NFV, PB, and DPB
1. Press ( to display the current discount rate (I).
2. Key in a value and press !.
3. Press # to display the current net present value (NPV).
4. To compute the net present value for the series of cash flows 
entered, press %.
5. To compute the net future value (NFV), press #. The NFV value 
appears.
6. To compute payback (PB), press #. The PB value appears.
7. To compute the payback discounted over time (DBP), press #. The

46 Cash Flow Worksheet
Computing IRR and MOD
1. Press ). The IRR variable and current value are displayed (based on 
the current cash-flow values).
2. To compute the internal rate of return, press %. The calculator 
displays the IRR value.
3. To select the reinvestment rate (RI), press #. 
4. Key in the reinvestment rate value and press !. 
5. To compute the modified internal rate of return, press #. The 
calculator displays the MOD value.
When solving for IRR, the calculator performs a series of complex, 
iterative calculations that can take seconds or even minutes to complete. 
The number of possible IRR solutions depends on the number of sign 
changes in your cash-flow sequence.
• When a sequence of cash flows has no sign changes, no IRR solution 
exists. The calculator displays Error 5.
• When a sequence of cash flows has only one sign change, only one 
IRR solution exists, which the calculator displays.
• When a sequence of cash flows has two or more sign changes:
– At least one solution exists.
– As many solutions can exist as there are sign changes.
When more than one solution exists, the calculator displays the one 
closest to zero. Because the displayed solution has no financial 
meaning, you should use caution in making investment decisions 
based on an IRR computed for a cash-flow stream with more than 
one sign change.

Cash Flow Worksheet 47
The time line reflects a sequence of cash flows with three sign 
changes, indicating that one, two, or three IRR solutions can exist.
• When solving complex cash-flow problems, the calculator might not 
find PB, DPB, IRR, and MOD, even if a solution exists. In this case, the 
calculator displays Error 7 (iteration limit exceeded).
Example: Solving for Unequal Cash Flows
These examples show you how to enter and edit unequal cash-flow data 
to calculate: 
• Net present value (NPV)
• Net future value (NFV)
• Payback (PB)
• Discounted payback (DPB)
• Internal rate of return (IRR)
• Modified internal rate of return (MOD)
A company pays $7,000 for a new machine, plans a 20% annual return on 
the investment, and expects these annual cash flows over the next six 
years:
As the time line shows, the cash flows are a combination of equal and 
unequal values. As an outflow, the initial cash flow (CFo) appears as a 
negative value.

If the required earnings rate is 10% per 12-month period with monthly 
compounding:
• What is the present value of these lease payments?
• What even payment amount at the beginning of each month would 
result in the same present value?
Because the cash flows are uneven, use the Cash Flow worksheet to 
determine the net present value of the lease.
Computing NPV
The cash flows for the first four months are stated as a group of four $0 
cash flows. Because the lease specifies beginning-of-period payments, 
you must treat the first cash flow in this group as the initial investment 
(CFo) and enter the remaining three cash flows on the cash flow screens 
(C01 and F01).

Term Definition
Call Date  A callable bond can be retired by the issuing agency 
before the maturity date. The call date for such a 
bond is printed in the bond contract.
Coupon 
Payment 
The periodic payment made to the owner of the 
bond as interest.
Coupon Rate  The annual interest rate printed on the bond.
Dollar Price  Price of the security expressed in terms of dollars per 
$100 of par value.
Par (Face) Value The value printed on the bond.
Premium Bond  A bond that sells for an amount greater than the par 
value. 
Discount Bond  A bond selling for less than the par value.
Redemption 
Date 
The date on which the issuing agency retires the 
bond. This date can be the date of maturity or, for a 
callable bond, the call date.
Redemption 
Value 
The amount paid to the owner of a bond when 
retired. If the bond is redeemed at the maturity 
date, the redemption value is the par value printed 
on the bond. If the bond is redeemed at a call date, 
the redemption value is the bond’s par value plus 
any call premium. The calculator treats the 
redemption value in terms of dollars per $100 of par 
value.
Settlement Date  The date on which a bond is exchanged for funds.
Yield to 
Maturity 
The rate of return earned from payments of 
principal and interest, with interest compounded 
semiannually at the stated yield rate. The yield to 
maturity takes into account the amount of premium 
or discount, if any, and the time value of the 
investment.

Entering Values for DB and DBX
If you choose either the declining balance (DB) or declining balance with 
crossover to SL (DBX) depreciation method, remember to enter a value 
representing the percent of declining balance for the DB or DBX 
variable. 
Note: The declining balance you enter must be a positive number. 
Entering Values for LIF
•If SL or SLF is selected, the LIF value must be a positive real number.
•If 
SYD, DB, DBX, or DBF is selected, the LIF value must be a positive 
integer.
Entering Values for M01
The value you enter for the starting month (M01) has two parts:
• The integer portion represents the month in which the asset is 
placed into service. 
• The decimal portion represents the fraction of the initial month in 
which the asset begins to depreciate. 
For example, to specify that the asset will begin to depreciate in the 
middle of the first month, enter 1.5. To specify that the asset will begin 
to depreciate a quarter of the way through the fourth month, enter 4.25.
Working with YR
• When computing depreciation, the value you enter for the year-to-
compute (YR) variable must be a positive integer.
• If the remaining depreciable value (RDV) variable is displayed, you 
can press # to return to the year to compute (YR) variable. To 
represent the next depreciation year, press % to increment the 
value for YR by one.
• To compute a depreciation schedule, repeatedly return to the year to 
compute (YR) variable, press % to increment the value for YR, and 
compute values for DEP, RBV, and RDV. The schedule is complete 
when RDV equals zero.
Entering Data and Computing Results
Because the Depreciation worksheet stores values and settings until you 
either change them or clear the worksheet, you should not have to 
perform every step each time you work a problem.
Note: Dates are not changed when you clear a worksheet.

Statistics Worksheet 67
• When you enter data for one-variable statistics, Xnn represents the 
value and Ynn specifies the number of occurrences (frequency). 
• When you enter a value for Xnn, the value for Ynn defaults to 1.
Analyzing One-Variable Statistics
To analyze one-variable statistics, select 1-V. Only values for n, v, Sx, sX, 
GX, and GX2 are computed and displayed for one-variable statistics.
Analyzing Two-Variable Statistics
You can choose from among these four regression-analysis methods:
•LIN
•Ln 
•EXP
•PWR
Computing Values Automatically
Except for the predicted X' and Y' values, the calculator computes and 
displays values for statistics variables automatically when you access 
them.
Using X' and Y' for Regression Predictions
To use the X' and Y' variables for regression predictions, you either can 
enter a value for X' to compute Y' or enter a value for Y' to compute X'.
Regression Models
For two-variable data, the Statistics worksheet uses four regression 
models for curve fitting and forecasting.
The calculator interprets the X value as the independent variable and the 
Y value as the dependent variable.
The calculator computes the statistical results using these transformed 
values:
•LIN uses X and Y.
Model Formula Restrictions
LIN Y = a + b X None
Ln Y = a + b ln(X) All X values > zero
EXP Y = a bxAll Y values > zero
PWR Y = a XbAll X and Y values > zero

68 Statistics Worksheet
•Ln uses ln(X) and Y.
•EXP uses X and ln(Y).
•PWR uses ln(X) and ln(Y).
The calculator determines the values for a and b that create the line or 
curve that best fits the data.
Correlation Coefficient
The calculator also determines r, the correlation coefficient, which 
measures the goodness of fit of the equation with the data. Generally:
•The closer r is to 1 or -1, the better the fit.
•The closer r is to zero, the worse the fit.
Entering Statistical Data
Because the Statistics worksheet lets you enter and display up to 50 data 
points, and then stores the values until you clear the worksheet or 
change the values, you probably will not have to perform every step for 
each Statistics calculation.

Comparing the Nominal Interest Rate of Investments 
Comparing the nominal interest rate (annual percentage rate) of 
investments is misleading when the investments have the same nominal 
rate but different numbers of compounding periods per year. 
To make a more valid comparison, convert the nominal interest rate 
(NOM) to the annual effective interest rate (EFF) for each investment.
• The nominal interest rate (NOM) is the interest rate per 
compounding period multiplied by the number of compounding 
periods per year.
• The annual effective interest rate (EFF) is the compound annual 
interest rate that you actually earn for the period of time stated.

98 Appendix — Reference Information
Accuracy Information
The calculator stores results internally as 13-digit numbers but displays 
them rounded to 10 digits or fewer, depending on the decimal format. 
The internal digits, or guard digits, increase the calculator’s accuracy. 
Additional calculations use the internal value, not the value displayed.
Rounding
If a calculation produces a result with 11-digits or more, the calculator 
uses the internal guard digits to determine how to display the result. If 
the eleventh digit of the result is 5 or greater, the calculator rounds the 
result to the next larger value for display.
For example, consider this problem.
1 P 3 Q 3 = ?
Internally, the calculator solves the problem in two steps, as shown 
below.
1. 1 P 3 = 0.3333333333333
2. 0.3333333333333 Q 3 = 0.9999999999999
The calculator rounds the result and displays it as 1. This rounding 
enables the calculator to display the most accurate result.
Although most calculations are accurate to within ±1 in the last displayed 
digit, higher-order mathematical functions use iterative calculations, in 
which inaccuracies can accumulate in the guard digits. In most cases, the 
cumulative error from these calculations is maintained beyond the 10-
digit display so that no inaccuracy is shown.
AOS™ (Algebraic Operating System) Calculations
When you select the AOS calculation method, the calculator uses the 
standard rules of algebraic hierarchy to determine the order in which it 
performs operations.

The table shows the order in which the calculator performs operations
