Display Format of Numbers

When you turn on the HP 10BII for the first time, numbers are displayed with two decimal places and a period as the decimal point. The display format controls how many digits appear in the display.
If the result of a calculation is a number containing more significant digits than can be displayed in the current display format, the number is rounded to fit the current display setting.
Regardless of the current display format, each number is stored internally as a signed, 12-digit number with a signed, three-digit exponent.
Specifying Displayed Decimal Places
To specify the number of displayed decimal places:
- Press DISP.
- Enter the number of digits (0 through 9) that you wish to appear after the decimal point.
| Keys: | Display: | Description: |
| ○ | 0.00 | Clears display. |
| ○DISP 3 | 0.000 | Displays three decimal places. |
| 456× | 5.727 | |
| 1256= | ||
| ○DISP 9 | 5.727360000 | Displays nine decimal places. |
| ○DISP 2 | 5.73 | Restores two decimal places and rounds number in display. |
When a number is too large or too small to be displayed in DISP format, it automatically displays in scientific notation.
Scientific Notation

Scientific notation is used to represent numbers that are too large or too small to fit in the display. For example, if you enter the number 10,000,000 × 10,000,000 , the result is 1.00E14, which means "one times ten to the fourteenth power" or "1.00 with the decimal point moved fourteen places to the right." You can enter this number by pressing 1 14. The E stands for "exponent of ten."
Exponents can also be negative for very small numbers. The number 0.000000000004 is displayed as 4.00E - 12 , which means "four times ten to the negative twelfth power" or "4.0 with the decimal point moved 12 places to the left." You can enter this number by pressing 4 + / - 12 .
Displaying the Full Precision of Numbers

To set your calculator to display numbers as precisely as possible, press DISP (trailing zeros are not displayed.) To temporarily view all 12 digits of the number in the display (regardless of the current display format setting), press DISP and hold. The number is displayed as long as you continue holding. The decimal point is not shown.
Start with two decimal places (DISP 2).

Number Storage and Arithmetic
Using Stored Numbers in Calculations
You can store numbers, for reuse, in several different ways:
- Use (Constant) to store a number and its operator for repetitive operations.
Use 3 Key Memory () , () , and (+) to store, recall, and sum numbers with a single keystroke. - Use STO and RCL to store to, and recall from, the 10 numbered registers.
Using Constants

Use to store a number and arithmetic operator for repetitive calculations. Once the constant operation is stored, enter a number and press 三 . The stored operation is performed on the number in the display.
| Keys | Operation |
| ⊕ number⊕ = | Stores “+ number” as constant. |
| ⊕ number⊕ = | Stores “- number” as constant. |
| ⊕ number⊕ = | Stores “× number” as constant. |
| ⊕ number⊕ = | Stores “÷ number” as constant. |
| ⊕ value⊕ = | Stores “y value,” as constant. |
| ⊕ number⊕%⊕ = | Stores “+ number%” as constant. |
| ⊕ number⊕%⊕ = | Stores “- number%” as constant. |
| ⊕ number⊕%⊕ = | Stores “× number%” as constant. |
| ⊕ number⊕%⊕ = | Stores “÷ number%” as constant. |
Example. Calculate 5 + 2, 6 + 2 , and 7 + 2 .

| = | 8.00 | Calculates 23. |
Using the M Register

The -M , , and + keys perform memory operations on a single storage register, called the M register. In most cases, it is unnecessary to clear the M register, since -M replaces the previous contents. However, you can clear the M register by pressing -M . To add a series of numbers to the M register, use -M to store the first number and + to add subsequent numbers. To subtract
the displayed number from the number in the M register, press +/- followed by ^+ .
| Keys | Description |
| -M | Stores displayed number in the M register. |
| -RM | Recalls number from the M register. |
| -M+ | Adds displayed number to the M register. |
Example.Use the M register to add 17, 14.25, and 16.95. Then subtract 4.65 and recall the result.
| Keys: | Display: | Description: |
| 17M | 17.00 | Stores 17 in M register. |
| 1425M+ | 14.25 | Adds 14.25 to M register. |
| 1695M+ | 16.95 | Adds 16.95 to M register. |
| 465+/-M+ | -4.65 | Adds -4.65 to M register. |
| RM | 43.55 | Recalls contents of the M register. |
Using Numbered Registers

The and RCL keys access the 10 user registers. The key is used to copy the displayed number to a designated register. The RCL key is used to copy a number from a register to the display.
To store or recall a number in two steps:
- Press or RCL. (To cancel this step, press * or C.)
- Enter the register number (0 through 9).
In the following example, two storage registers are used. Calculate the following:
$$ \frac {4 7 5 . 6}{3 9 . 1 5} \text {a n d} \frac {5 6 0 . 1 + 4 7 5 . 6}{3 9 . 1 5} $$
| Keys: | Display: | Description: |

| 475.60 | Recalls R1. | |
| 39.15 | Recalls R2. | |
| 26.45 | Completes second calculation. |
With the exception of statistics, you can also use and RCL for application registers. For example, stores the number from the display in the I/YR register. RCL copies the contents from I/YR to the display.
In most cases, it is unnecessary to clear a storage register since storing a number replaces the previous contents. However, you can clear a single register by storing 0 in it. To clear all the registers at once, press C ALL.
Doing Arithmetic Inside Registers
You can do arithmetic inside storage registers R_0 through R_9 . The result is stored in the register.
| Keys | New Number in Register |
| □STO+register number | Old contents + displayed number. |
| □STO-register number | Old contents – displayed number. |
| □STO×register number | Old contents × displayed number. |
| □STO÷register number | Old contents ÷ displayed number. |

Calculates the cube root of 125, or 125^1 / 3
Using Parentheses in Calculations
Use parentheses to postpone calculating an intermediate result until you've entered more numbers. You can enter up to four open parentheses in each calculation. For example, suppose you want to calculate:
$$ \frac {3 0}{(8 5 - 1 2)} \times 9 $$
If you enter ③ 0 ÷ 8 5 - , the calculator displays the intermediate result, 0.35. This is because calculations without parentheses are performed from left to right as you enter them.
To delay the division until you've subtracted 12 from 85, use parentheses. Closing parentheses at the end of the expression can be omitted. For example, entering “ 25 ÷ (3 × (9 + 12) = ” is equivalent to “ 25 ÷ (3 × (9 + 12)) = ”.
| Keys: | Display: | Description: |
| ③0÷①85- | 85.00 | No calculation yet. |
| ①2-1 | 73.00 | Calculates 85 - 12. |
| × | 0.41 | Calculates 30 ÷ 73. |
| ⑨= | 3.70 | Multiplies the result by 9. |
Picturing Financial Problems
How to approach a Financial Problem
The financial vocabulary of the HP 10BII is simplified to apply to all financial fields. For example, your profession may use the term balance, balloon payment, residual, maturity value, or remaining amount to designate a value that the HP 10BII knows as (future value).
The simplified terminology of the HP 10BII is based on cash flow diagrams. Cash flow diagrams are pictures of financial problems that show cash flows over time. Drawing a cash flow diagram is the first step to solving a financial problem.
The following cash flow diagram represents investments in a mutual fund. The original investment was 7,000.00, followed by investments of 5,000.00 and 6,000.00 at the end of the third and sixth months. At the end of the 11th month,5,000.00 was withdrawn. At the end of the 16th month, $16,567.20 was withdrawn.

Any cash flow example can be represented by a cash flow diagram. As you draw a cash flow diagram, identify what is known and unknown about the transaction.
Time is represented by a horizontal line divided into regular time periods. Cash flows are placed on the horizontal line when they occur. Where no arrows are drawn, no cash flows occur.
Signs of Cash Flows
In cash flow diagrams, money invested is shown as negative and money withdrawn is shown as positive. Cash flowing out is negative, cash flowing in is positive.
For example, from the lender's perspective, cash flows to customers for loans are represented as negative. Likewise, when a lender receives money from customers, cash flows are represented as positive. In contrast, from the borrower's perspective, cash borrowed is positive while cash paid back is negative.
Periods and Cash Flows
In addition to the sign convention (cash flowing out is negative, cash flowing in is positive) on cash flow diagrams, there are several more considerations:
- The time line is divided into equal time intervals. The most common period is a month, but days, quarters, and annual periods are also common. The period is normally defined in a contract and must be known before you can begin calculating.
- To solve a financial problem with the HP 10BII, all cash flows must occur at either the beginning or end of a period.
If more than one cash flow occurs at the same place on the cash flow diagram, they are added together or netted. For example, a negative cash flow of -250.00 and a positive cash flow of750.00 occurring at the same time on the cash flow diagram are entered as a $500.00 cash flow (750 - 250 = 500).
A valid financial transaction must have at least one positive and one negative cash flow.
Simple and Compound Interest
Financial calculations are based on the fact that money earns interest over time. There are two types of interest: simple interest and compound interest. The basis for Time Value of Money and cash flow calculations is compound interest.
Simple Interest
In simple-interest contracts, interest is a percent of the original principal. The interest and principal are due at the end of the contract. For example, say you loan 500 to a friend for a year, and you want to be repaid with (10% simple interest. At the end of the year, your friend owes you )550.00 (50 is 10% of 500). Simple interest calculations are done using the 12 key on your HP 10BII. An example of a simple interest calculation is on page 98.
Compound Interest
A compound-interest contract is like a series of simple-interest contracts that are connected. The length of each simple-interest contract is equal to one compounding period. At the end of each period the interest earned on each simple-interest contract is added to the principal. For example, if you deposit 1,000.00 in a savings account that pays (6% annual interest, compounded monthly, your earnings for the first month look like a simple-interest contract written for 1 month at 1/2% ( 6% ÷ 12 ). At the end of the first month the balance of the account is )1,005.00 (5 is 1/2% of 1,000).
The second month, the same process takes place on the new balance of 1,005.00. The amount of interest paid at the end of the second month is (1/2% of )1,005.00, or $5.03. The compounding process continues for the third, fourth, and fifth months. The intermediate results in this illustration are rounded to dollars and cents.

The word compound in compound interest comes from the idea that interest previously earned or owed is added to the principal. Thus, it can earn more interest. The financial calculation capabilities of the HP 10BII are based on compound interest.
Interest Rates
When you approach a financial problem, it is important to recognize that the interest rate or rate of return can be described in at least three different ways:
- As a periodic rate. This is the rate that is applied to your money from period to period.
- As an annual nominal rate. This is the periodic rate multiplied by the number of periods in a year.
- As an annual effective rate. This is an annual rate that considers compounding.
In the previous example of a 1,000.00 savings account, the periodic rate is 12% (per month), quoted as an annual nominal rate of 6% (12 × 12). This same periodic rate could be quoted as an annual effective rate, which considers compounding. The balance after 12 months of compounding is 1,061.68, which means the annual effective interest rate is 6.168%.
Examples of converting between nominal and annual effective rates are on pages 72 through 73.
Two Types of Financial Problems
The financial problems in this manual use compound interest unless specifically stated as simple interest calculations. Financial problems are divided into two groups: TVM problems and cash flow problems.
Recognizing a TVM Problem
If uniform cash flows occur between the first and last periods on the cash flow diagram, the financial problem is a TVM (time value of money) problem. There are five main keys used to solve a TVM problem.
N Number of periods or payments.
UYR Annual percentage interest rate (usually the annual nominal rate).
PV Present value (the cash flow at the beginning of the time line).
PMT Periodic payment.
FV Future value (the cash flow at the end of the cash flow diagram, in addition to any regular periodic payment).
You can calculate any value after entering the other four. Cash flow diagrams for loans, mortgages, leases, savings accounts, or any contract with regular cash flows of the same amount are normally treated as TVM problems. For example, following is a cash flow diagram, from the borrower's perspective, for a 30-year, 150,000.00 mortgage, with a payment of 1,041.40, at 7.5% annual interest, with a $10,000 balloon payment.

One of the values for PV , PMT , FV can be zero. For example, following is a cash flow diagram (from the saver's perspective) for a savings account with a single deposit and a single withdrawal five years later. Interest compounds monthly. In this example, PMT is zero.

Time value of money calculations are described in the next chapter.
Recognizing a Cash Flow Problem
A financial problem that does not have regular, uniform payments (sometimes called uneven cash flows) is a cash flow problem rather than a TVM problem.
A cash flow diagram for an investment in a mutual fund follows. This is an example of a problem that is solved using either NPV (Net Present Value) or (RRY) (Internal Rate of Return per Year).

Cash flow problems are described in chapter 6.
Time Value of Money Calculations
Using the TVM Application

The time value of money (TVM) application is used for compound interest calculations that involve regular, uniform cash flows - called payments. Once the values are entered you can vary one value at a time, without entering all the values again.
To use TVM, several prerequisites must be met:
The amount of each payment must be the same. If the payment amounts vary, use the procedures described in chapter 6, "Cash Flow Calculations".
- Payments must occur at regular intervals.
The payment period must coincide with the interest compounding period. (If it does not, convert the interest rate using the NOM%, EFF%, and PYR keys described on page 72.)
There must be at least one positive and one negative cash flow.
| Key | Stores or Calculates |
| N | The number of payments or compounding periods. |
| I/YR | The annual nominal interest rate. |
| PV | The present value of future cash flows. PVis usually an initial investment or loan amount and always occurs at the beginning of the first period. |
| PMT | The amount of periodic payments. All payments are equal, and none are skipped; payments can occur at the beginning or end of each period. |
| FV | The future value. FVis either a final cash flow or compounded value of a series of previous cash flows. FVoccurs at the end of the last period. |
| PYR | Stores the number of periods per year. The default is 12. Reset only when you wish to change it. (This key is located below the PMTkey.) |
| K/P/YR | Optional shortcut for storing N: Number in display is multiplied by the value in P/YR and stores result in N. (This key is located below the Kkey.) |
| RES/END | Switches between Begin and End mode. In Begin mode, the BEGIN annunciator is displayed. |
| AMORT | Calculates an amortization table. |
To verify values, press RCL N, RCL I/YR, RCL PV, RCL PMT, and RCL FV. Pressing RCL P/YR recalls the total number of payments in years and RCL P/YR shows you the number of payments per year. Recalling these numbers does not change the content of the registers.
Clearing TVM
Press _ALL to clear the TVM registers. This sets N , I / YR , PV , PMT , and FV to zero and briefly displays the current value in P / YR .
Begin and End Modes

Before you start a TVM calculation, identify whether the first periodic payment occurs at the beginning or end of the first period. If the first payment occurs at the end of the first period, set your HP 10BII to End mode; if it occurs at the beginning of the first period, set your calculator to Begin mode.
To switch between modes, press BEGEND. The BEGIN annunciator is displayed when your calculator is in Begin mode. No annunciator is displayed when you are in End mode.
Mortgages and loans typically use End mode. Leases and savings plans typically use Begin mode.
Loan Calculations
Example: A Car Loan. You are financing a new car with a three year loan at 10.5% annual nominal interest, compounded monthly. The price of the car is 14,500. Your down payment is1,500.
Part 1. What are your monthly payments at 10.5% interest? (Assume your payments start one month after the purchase or at the end of the first period.)

Example: A Mortgage With a Balloon Payment. You've obtained a 25 year, $172,500 mortgage at 8.8% annual interest. You anticipate that you will own the house for four years and then sell it, repaying the loan with a balloon payment. What will your balloon payment be?
Solve this problem using two steps:
- Calculate the loan payment using a 25 year term.
- Calculate the remaining balance after 4 years.
Step 1. First calculate the loan payment using a 25 year term.

Set to End mode. Press & BEGIN & BEGIN if BEGIN annunciator is displayed.
| Keys: | Display: | Description: |

| 8 | 8.80 | Stores annual interest rate. |
| PMT | -1,424.06 | Calculates monthly payment. |
Step 2. Since the payment is at the end of the month, the past payment and the balloon payment occur at the same time. The final payment is the sum of PMT and FV .


The value in PMT should always be rounded to two decimal places when calculating FV or PV to avoid small, accumulative discrepancies between non-rounded numbers and actual (dollars and cents) payments. If the display is not set to two decimal places, press DISP 2.

Lease Calculations
A lease is a loan of valuable property (like real estate, automobiles, or equipment) for a specific amount of time, in exchange for regular payments. Some leases are written as purchase agreements, with an option to buy at the end of the lease (sometimes for as little as $1.00). The defined future value (FV) of the property at the end of a lease is sometimes called the "residual value" or "buy out value."
All five TVM application keys can be used in lease calculations. There are two common lease calculations.
Finding the lease payment necessary to achieve a specified yield.
Finding the present value (capitalized value) of a lease.
The first payment on a lease usually occurs at the beginning of the first period. Thus, most lease calculations use Begin mode.
Example: Calculating a Lease Payment. A customer wishes to lease a 13,500 car for three years. The lease includes an option to buy the car for7,500 at the end of the lease. The first monthly payment is due the day the customer drives the car off the lot. If you want to yield 10% annually, compounded monthly, what will the payments be? Calculate the payments from your (the dealer's) point of view.

| 36N | 36.00 | Stores length of lease, in months. |
| PMT | 253.99 | Calculates monthly lease payment. |
Notice that even if the customer chooses not to buy the car, the lessor still includes a cash flow coming in at the end of the lease equal to the residual value of the car. Whether the customer buys the car or it is sold on the open market, the lessor expects to recover (7,500.
Example: Lease With Advance Payments. Your company, Quick-Kit Pole Barns, plans to lease a forklift for the warehouse. The lease is written for a term of 4 years with monthly payments of 2,400. Payments are due at the beginning of the month with the first and last payments due at the onset of the lease. You have an option to buy the forklift for15,000 at the end of the leasing period.
If the annual interest rate is 9% , what is the capitalized value of the lease?

This solution requires four steps.
- Calculate the present value of the 47 monthly payments: (4× 12) - 1 = 47
- Add the value of the additional advance payment.
- Find the present value of the buy option.
- Sum the values calculated in steps 2 and 3.

Amortization

Amortization is the process of dividing a payment into the amount that applies to interest and the amount that applies to principal. Payments near the beginning of a loan contribute more interest, and less principal, than payments near the end of a loan.

PAYMENT $
The AMORT key on the HP 10BII allows you to calculate.
The amount applied to interest in a range of payments.
The amount applied to principal in a range of payments.
The loan balance after a specified number of payments are made.
The AMORT function assumes you have just calculated a payment or you have stored the appropriate amortization values in I / YR , PV , FV , PMT , and P / YR .

Annual nominal interest rate.
Starting balance.
Ending balance.
Payment amount (rounded to the display format).
Number of payments per year.
The numbers displayed for interest, principal, and balance are rounded to the current display setting.
To Amortize. To amortize a single payment, enter the period number and press AMORT. The HP 10BII displays the annunciator PER followed by the starting and ending payments that will be amortized.
Press to see interest (INT). Press again to see the principal (PRIN) and again to see the balance (BAL). Continue pressing to cycle through the same values again.
To amortize a range of payments, enter starting period number (NPUT) ending period number; then press AMORT. The HP 10BII displays the annunciator PER followed by the starting and ending payments that will be amortized. Then press repeatedly to cycle through interest, principal, and balance.
Press AMORT again to move to the next set of periods. This autoincrement feature saves you the keystrokes of entering the new starting and ending periods.
If you store, recall, or perform any other calculations during amortization, pressing 三 will no longer cycle through interest, principal, and balance. To resume amortization with the same set of periods, press RCL AMORT.
Example: Amortizing a Range of Payments. Calculate the first two years of the annual amortization schedule for a 30 year, ( \( {180},{000} ) mortgage, at 7.75% annual interest with monthly payments.

The amount paid toward interest and principal (13,767.79 + 1,706.69 = 15,474.51) equals the total of 12 monthly payments (12 × 1,289.54 = 15,474.51) . The remaining balance equals the initial mortgage less the amount applied toward principal (180,000 - 1,579.84 - 1,706.69 = 176,713.49) . More money is applied to principal during the second rather than the first year. The succeeding years continue in the same fashion.
Example: Amortizing a Single Payment. Amortize the 1^st , 25^th , and 54^th payments of a five year car lease. The lease amount is $14,250 and the interest rate is 11.5%. Payments are monthly and begin immediately.

Interest Rate Conversions

The Interest Conversion application uses three keys:
NOM%, EFF%, and PYR. They convert between nominal and annual effective interest rates. Nominal and effective interest rates are described on page 49.
If you know an annual nominal interest rate and you wish to solve for the corresponding annual effective rate:
- Enter the nominal rate and press (NOM%)
- Enter the number of compounding periods and press
- Calculate the effective rate by pressing % .
To calculate a nominal rate from a known effective rate:
- Enter the effective rate and press % .
- Enter the number of compounding periods and press
- Calculate the nominal rate by pressing NOM%
In the TVM application, ^NOMPS and ^LYR share the same register.
Interest conversions are used primarily for two types of problems:
Comparing investments with different compounding periods.
- Solving TVM problems where the payment period and the interest period differ.
Investments With Different Compounding Periods
Example: Comparing Investments. You are considering opening a savings account in one of three banks. Which bank has the most favorable interest rate?
First Bank 6.70% annual interest, compounded quarterly.
Second Bank 6.65% annual interest, compounded monthly.
Third Bank 6.63% annual interest, compounded 360 times per year.

| 360·PYR | 360.00 | Stores compounding periods. |
| EFF% | 6.85 | Calculates annual effective rate. |
First Bank offers a slightly better deal since 6.87 is greater than 6.86 and 6.85.
Compounding and Payment Periods Differ

The TVM application assumes that the compounding periods and the payment periods are the same. Some loan installments or savings deposits and withdrawals do not coincide with the bank's compounding periods. If the payment period differs from the compounding period, adjust the interest rate to match the payment period before solving the problem.
To adjust an interest rate when the compounding period differs from the payment period complete the following steps:
- Enter the nominal rate and press NOM%. Enter the number of compounding periods in a year and press FyR. Solve for the effective rate by pressing EFF%
- Enter the number of payment periods in a year and press FYR. Solve for the adjusted nominal rate by pressing NOM%.
Example: Monthly Payments, Daily Compounding. Starting today, you make monthly deposits of (25 to an account paying (5 \%)interest, compounded daily (using a 365 day year). What will the balance be in seven years?
Step 1. Calculate the equivalent rate with monthly compounding.

Cash Flow Calculations
How to Use the Cash Flow Application

The cash flow application is used to solve problems where cash flows occur over regular intervals but are of varying amounts. You can also use cash flow calculations to solve problems with regular, equal, periodic cash flows, but these situations are handled more easily using TVM.
In general, these are the steps for cash flow calculations on the HP 10BII.
- Organize your cash flows on paper. A cash flow diagram is useful.
- Clear the registers.
- Enter the number of periods per year.
- Enter the amount of the initial investment.
- Enter the amount of the next cash flow.
- If the amount entered in step 5 occurs more than once consecutively, enter the number of times it occurs.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each cash flow and group.
- To calculate net present value, enter the annual interest rate and press 1 / YR ; then press . Or, to calculate annual internal rate of return, press / YR .
Example: A Short Term Investment. The following cash flow diagram represents an investment in stock over three months. Purchases were made at the beginning of each month, and the stock was sold at the end of the third month. Calculate the annual internal rate of return and the monthly rate of return.

NPV and IRR/YR: Discontinuing Cash Flows
Chapter 4 demonstrates the use of cash flow diagrams to clarify financial problems. This section describes discounted cash flows. The NPV and IRR / YR functions are frequently referred to as discounted cash flow functions.
When a cash flow is discounted, you calculate its present value. When multiple cash flows are discounted, you calculate the present values and add them together.
The net present value (NPV) function finds the present value of a series of cash flows. The annual nominal interest rate must be known to calculate NPV.
The internal rate of return (IRR/YR) function calculates the annual nominal interest rate that is required to give a net present value of zero.
The utility of these two financial tools becomes clear after working a few examples. The next two sections describe organizing and entering your cash flows. Examples of NPV and IRR / YR calculations follow.
Organizing Cash Flows
The cash flow series is organized into an initial cash flow (CF 0) and succeeding cash flow groups (up to 14 cash flows). CF 0 occurs at the beginning of the first period. A cash flow group consists of a cash flow amount and the number of times it repeats.
For example, in the following cash flow diagram, the initial cash flow is -\ 11,000. The next group of cash flows consists of six flows of zero each, followed by a group of three \ 1,000 cash flows. The final group consists of one \$10,000 cash flow.

Whenever you enter a series of cash flows, it is important to account for every period on the cash flow diagram, even periods with cash flows of zero.
Entering Cash Flows
The HP 10BII can store an initial cash flow plus 14 additional cash flow groups. Each cash flow group can have up to 99 cash flows. Enter cash flows using the following steps:
- Press to clear the resisters.
- Enter the number of periods per year and press FYR
- Enter the amount of the initial investment, then press CF. (The "j" stands for the cash flow "number," 0 through 14.)
- Enter the amount of the next cash flow and press CF
- If the amount entered in step 4 occurs more than once consecutively, enter the number of times it occurs, and press .
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each CF_j and N_j until all cash flows have been entered.
Example. Enter the cash flows from the preceding diagram and calculate the IRR / YR . Then calculate the effective interest rate. Assume there are 12 periods per year.

Viewing and Replacing Cash Flows
To view a cash flow, press:
RCL CF to 9 to display cash flows 0 to 9, or
RCL CF to 4 to display cash flows 10 to 14
RCL CF_j+ to display the next cash flow
RCL CF to display the previous cash flow
RCL CF to display the current cash flow.
To replace a cash flow amount, press:
STO CF to 9 to store the new amount in cash flows 0 to 9
STO CF to 4 to store the new amount in cash flows 10 to 14
- (_) + to store the amount in the next cash flow
- (CF) to store the amount in the previous cash flow
STO CF_j CFj to store the amount in the current cash flow.
To replace the number of times a particular cash flow occurs, the cash flow whose number of occurrences will change. Then enter the number of times it occurs and press .
Since cash flows cannot be deleted or inserted, use to start over.
Calculating Net Present Value
The net present value (NPV) function is used to discount all cash flows to the front of the time line using an annual nominal interest rate that you supply.
These steps describe how to calculate NPV:
- Press C ALL and store the number of periods per year in P / YR .
- Enter the cash flows using _1 and .
- Store the annual nominal interest rate in I / YR and press NPV.
Example: A Discounted Contract, Uneven Cash flows. You have an opportunity to purchase a contract with the following cash flows:
| End of Month | Amount |
| 4 | 5,000.00 |
| 9 | 5,000.00 |
| 10 | 5,000.00 |
| 15 | 7,500.00 |

This result shows that if you want a yield of (15\%) per year, you should pay \(27,199.92 for the contract. Notice that this amount is positive. The net present value is simply the summed (or netted) value of a series of cash flows when they are discounted to the front of the time line.

Calculating Internal Rate of Return
- Press C ALL, store number of periods per year in P / Y R .
- Enter the cash flows using _1 and _1 .
- Press (RR/RR).
When you calculate IRR / YR , you get the annual nominal rate that gives an NPV of zero.
The following example uses the cash flows that were entered in the previous example.
More than one IRR / YR can exist. If you get the No Solution message see Appendix B (page 129).
Example. If the seller of the contract in the previous example wants (28,000 and you accept that price, what is your yield? This is an IRR/YR calculation that requires a slight modification to the currently stored cash flows.

Linear Regression and Estimation

Linear regression is a statistical method for estimation and forecasting. It is used to find a straight line that best fits a set of x, y data. There must be at least two different x, y pairs. The straight line provides a relationship between the x - and y -variables: y = mx + b , where m is the slope and b is the y -intercept.
Linear Regression. Calculate m, b , and r (the correlation coefficient) as follows:
- Clear the statistical registers by pressing 2 .
- Enter the first x -value and press INPUT. The x -value is displayed.
- Enter the corresponding y -value and press ^+ . The HP 10BII displays n , the number of pairs of items accumulated.
- Continue entering x, y pairs. The n -value is incremented with each entry.
- To display b (the y -intercept), press 0 _m . Then press to display m (the slope of the line).
- Press , r SWAP to display r ; the correlation coefficient.
Linear Estimation. The straight line calculated by linear regression can be used to estimate a y -value for a given x -value, or vice versa:
- Enter the x, y data using the instructions on page 86.
- Enter the known x -value or y -value.
To estimate x for the given y , enter the y -value, then press 8,r .
To estimate y for the given x , enter the x -value, then press _m .

Business Applications
Setting a Sales Price
One method for setting the per unit sales price is to determine the cost of production per unit, and then multiply by the desired rate of return. For this method to be accurate, you must identify all costs associated with the product.
The following equation calculates unit price based on total cost and rate of return:
$$ \text {P R I C E} = \text {T O T A L C O S T} \div \text {N U M B E R O F U N I T S} \times (1 + (\% \text {R T N} \div 100)) $$

Cost of Not Taking a Cash Discount
A cash discount gives a buyer a reduction in price if the payment is made within a specified time period. For example, "2/10, NET/30" means that the buyer can deduct 2 percent if payment is made within 10 days. If payment is not made within 10 days, the full amount must be paid by the 30^th day.
You can use the equation shown below to calculate the cost of failing to take the cash discount. The cost is calculated as an annual interest rate charged for delaying payment.
$$ \mathrm {COST} \% = \frac {\mathrm {DISC} \% \times 360 \times 100}{((100 - \mathrm {DISC} \%) \times (\mathrm {TOTAL DAYS} - \mathrm {DISC DAYS}))} $$
DISC% is the discount percent if the payment is made early. TOTAL DAYS is the total number of days until the bill must be paid. DISC DAYS is the number of days for which the discount is available.
Example. You receive a bill with the credit terms 2/10, NET/30. What is the cost of not taking the cash discount?

Loans and Mortgages
Simple Annual Interest
Example. Your good friend needs a loan to start his latest enterprise and has asked you to lend him (450 for 60 days. You lend him the money at (10\%) simple annual interest, to be calculated on a 365-day basis. How much interest will he owe you in 60 days, and what is the total amount owed?
This equation is used for calculating simple annual interest using a 365 day year:

Continuous Compounding
The equation for calculating an effective rate for continuous compounding is:
$$ EFF\% = \left(e ^{\left(NOM\% \div 100\right)} - 1\right)\times 100 $$
To solve a continuous compounding problem complete these steps:
- Compute the annual effective rate using the above equation.
- Either use this effective rate in your calculations with an annual period (P / YR = 1) or convert this rate so that it applies to your payment period. In the following example, P / YR = 12 so you have to calculate a new NOM% using the interest rate conversion application with P / YR equal to 12.
Example. You currently have 4,572.80 in an account at Dream World Investments that earns (18% annual interest compounded continuously. At the end of each month, you deposit )250.00 in the account. What will the balance be after 15 years?

Yield of a Discounted (or Premium) Mortgage
The annual yield of a mortgage bought at a discount or premium can be calculated given the original mortgage amount (PV) , interest rate (I / YR) , periodic payment (PMT) , balloon payment amount (FV) , and the price paid for the mortgage (new PV ).
Remember the cash flow sign convention: money paid out is negative; money received is positive.
Example. An investor wishes to purchase a 100,000 mortgage taken out at 9% for 20 years. Since the mortgage was issued, 42 monthly payments have been made. The loan is to be paid in full (a balloon payment) at the end of its fifth year. What is the yield to the purchaser if the price of the mortgage is79,000?
Step 1. Calculate PMT. Make sure FV = 0 .

Annual Percentage Rate for a Loan With Fees
The annual percentage rate, APR , incorporates fees usually charged when a mortgage is issued, which effectively raises the interest rate. The actual amount received by the borrower (the PV ) is reduced, while the periodic payments remain the same. The APR can be calculated given the term of the mortgage ( N periods), the annual interest rate (I / PR) , the mortgage amount ( new PV ), and the amount of the fee.
Remember the cash flow sign convention: money paid out is negative; money received is positive.
Example: APR for a Loan With Fees. A borrower is charged two points for the issuance of a mortgage. (One point is equal to 1% of the mortgage amount.) If the mortgage amount is 160,000 for 30 years and the annual interest rate is8.5\%$ with monthly payments, what APR is the borrower paying?

Loan With a Partial (Odd) First Period
TVM calculations apply to financial transactions where each payment period is the same length. However, situations exist where the first payment period is not the same length as the remaining periods. This first period is sometimes called an odd or partial first period.
If interest is applied to an odd first period, it is usually calculated as simple interest. So using the HP 10BII to do a payment calculation with an odd first period is a two step process:
- Calculate the amount of simple interest that accrues during the fractional first period and add it to the loan amount. This is the new PV . You must be able to calculate the length of the odd first period as a fraction of the whole period. (For example, a 15-day odd first period would be 0.5 periods assuming a whole period to be a 30-day month.)
- Calculate the payment using the new PV , with N equal to the number of full periods. Use Begin mode if the number of days until the first payment is less than 30; otherwise use End mode.
Example. A 36-month loan for (4,500 has an annual rate of (15\%). If the first monthly payment is made in 46 days, what is the monthly payment amount assuming 30-day months?
The odd first period in this example is 16 days.

Canadian Mortgages
In Canadian mortgages, the compounding and payment periods are not the same. Interest is compounded semi-annually while payments are made monthly. To use the TVM application in the HP 10BII, you need to calculate a Canadian mortgage factor (which is an adjusted interest rate) to store in I / YR .
For additional information on interest rate conversions, see "Interest Rate Conversions" on page 72.

What if ... TVM Calculations
One of the most valuable aspects of the HP 10BII's TVM application is the ease with which it handles the question "what if ..." in financial calculations. For example, one of the most popular "what if ..." questions is, "What if the interest rate changes to ...? How will that affect my payment?" To answer this question, once you have calculated a payment based on one interest rate, all you need to do is enter the new interest rate and recalculate PMT.
Some of the examples earlier in this manual have included some brief encounters with "what if ..." questions, but a more complete example follows.
Example. You are about to sign on the dotted line for a 30-year, (735,000 mortgage, on a vacation home. The annual interest rate is (11.2\%).

Savings
Saving for College Costs
Suppose you start saving now to accommodate a future series of cash outflows. An example of this is saving money for college. To determine how much you need to save each period, you must know when you'll need the money, how much you'll need, and at what interest rate you can invest your deposits.
Example. Your oldest daughter will attend college in 12 years and you are starting a fund for her education. She will need (15,000 at the beginning of each year for four years. The fund earns (9\%) annual interest, compounded monthly, and you plan to make monthly deposits, starting at the end of the current month. The deposits cease when she begins college. How much do you need to deposit each month?
This problem is solved in two steps. First calculate the amount you'll need when she starts college. Start with an interest rate conversion because of the monthly compounding.

Gains That Go Untaxed Until Withdrawal
You can use the TVM application to calculate the future value of a tax-free or tax-deferred account. (Current tax laws and your income determine whether both interest and principal are tax-free. You can solve for either case.)
The purchasing power of that future value depends upon the inflation rate and the duration of the account.
Example. You are considering opening a tax-deferred account with a dividend rate of 8.175% . If you invest \2,000at the beginning of each year for 35 years, how much will be in the account at retirement? How much will you have paid into the account? How much interest will you have earned? If your post-retirement tax rate is15\%, what will the after-tax future value of the account be? Assume that only the interest is taxed (assume the principal was taxed before deposit). What is the purchasing power of that amount, in today's dollars, assuming a4\%$ inflation rate?

Value of a Taxable Retirement Account
This problem uses the TVM application to calculate the future value of a taxable retirement account that receives regular, annual payments beginning today (Begin mode). The annual tax on the interest is paid out of the account. (Assume the deposits have been taxed already.)
Example. If you invest (3,000 each year for 35 years, with dividends taxed as ordinary income, how much will you have in the account at retirement? Assume an annual dividend rate of (8.175\%), a tax rate of (28\%), and that payments begin today. What is the purchasing power of that amount in today's dollars, assuming (4\%) inflation?

Cash Flow Examples
Wrap-Around Mortgages
A wrap-around mortgage is a combination of refinancing a mortgage and borrowing against real estate equity. Usually the two unknown quantities in the wrapped mortgage are the new payment and the rate of return to the lender. To arrive at a solution, you need to use both the TVM and the cash flow applications.
Example. You have 82 monthly payments of 754 left on your 8% mortgage, leaving a remaining balance of47,510.22. You would like to wrap that mortgage and borrow an additional 35,000 for another investment. You find a lender who is willing to "wrap" an82,510.22 mortgage at 9.5% for 15 years. What are your new payments and what return is the lender getting on this wrap-around mortgage?
The payment calculation is a straightforward TVM payment calculation using the new amount as the PV .

| 15KP/YR | 180.00 | Stores number of monthly payments you will make. |
| PMT | -861.59 | Calculates your new payment. |
Then, to calculate the lender's return, enter cash flows that represent the complete picture of the wrap-around mortgage from the lender's point of view:

When you group the above cash flows, you'll find that:
$$ \mathrm {C F} _ {0} = 4 7, 5 1 0. 2 2 - 8 2, 5 1 0. 2 2 = - 3 5, 0 0 0 $$
$$ \mathrm {C F} _ {1} = 8 6 1. 5 9 - 7 5 4. 0 0 = 1 0 7. 5 9 $$
$$ \mathrm {N} _ {1} = 8 2 $$
$$ \mathrm {C F} _ {2} = 8 6 1. 5 9 $$
$$ \mathrm {N} _ {2} = 1 8 0 - 8 2 = 9 8 $$

Answers to Common Questions
Q: I'm not sure if the calculator is malfunctioning or if I'm doing something incorrectly. How can I determine if the calculator is operating properly?
A: See "Determining if the Calculator Requires Service" on page 121.
Q: My numbers contain commas instead of periods as decimal points. How do I restore the periods?
A: Press l (page 31).
Q: How do I change the number of decimal places that the HP 10BII displays?
A: Press ☐DSP and the number of decimal places that you want (page 31).
Q: What does an "E" in a number (for example, 2.51E-13) mean?
A: Exponent of ten (for example, 2.51 × 10^-13 ). Refer to "Scientific Notation" on page 30.
Q: Why do I get a wrong answer or the No Solution message when using TVM?
A: Be sure to enter a value for four of the five TVM values before you solve for the fifth, even if one of the values is zero. (Don't forget to store a zero for FV if you completely pay off a loan.) Clearing all the registers (CAL) before entering your known values accomplishes the same thing. Check to see that the calculator is in the appropriate payment mode (Begin or End mode) and that P / YR is set correctly.
Q: How can I change the sign of a number in a list of cash flows?
A: You must replace the cash flow entry. See "Viewing and Replacing Cash Flows" on page 79.
Q: What does PEND in the display mean?
A: An arithmetic operation is pending (in progress).
Q: What does INPUT in the display mean?
A:The ^INPUT key has been pressed (page 28).
Q: Why is IRR/YR larger than I expected?
A: This is IRR per year. To see a periodic IRR, divide IRR/YR by P / YR .

More About Calculations
IRR/YR Calculations
The calculator determines IRR / YR for a set of cash flows using mathematical formulas that search for the answer. The process finds a solution by estimating an answer and then using that estimate to do another calculation. This is called an iterative process.
In most cases, the calculator finds the desired answer, since there is usually only one solution to the calculation. However, calculating IRR / YR for certain sets of cash flows is more complex. There may be more than one (or no) mathematical solution to the problem. In these cases, the calculator displays a message to help you interpret what has happened.
Possible Outcomes of Calculating IRR/YR
These are the possible outcomes of an IRR / YR calculation:
- Case 1. The calculator displays a positive answer. This is the only positive answer. However, one or more negative answers may exist.
■ Case 2. The calculator finds a negative answer but a single positive answer also exists. It displays: Pos Irr Also. To see the negative answer, press to clear the message. To search for the positive answer, you must input a guess. (Refer to "Entering a Guess for IRR/YR," below). There might also be additional negative answers. - Case 3. The calculator displays a negative answer and no message. This is the only answer.
-
Case 4. The calculator displays the message: Not Found. This indicates that the calculation is very complex. It might involve more than one positive or negative answer, or there may be no solution. To continue the calculation, you must store a guess (see below).
-
Case 5. The calculator displays: No Solution. There is no answer. This situation might be the result of an error, such as a mistake in keying in the cash flows. A common mistake that results in this message is putting the wrong sign on a cash flow. A valid cash-flow series for an IRR / YR calculation must have at least one positive and one negative cash flow.
Halting and Restarting IRR/YR
The search for IRR / YR may take a relatively long time. You can halt the calculation at any time by pressing the key. The message Interrupted is displayed. Pressing now displays the current estimate for IRR / YR . You can resume the calculation by:
- Pressing STO RR/YR while the current estimate is displayed in the calculator line. This continues the calculation from where it left off.
- Storing a guess for IRR / YR , discussed below.
Entering a Guess for IRR/YR
To enter a guess, key in an estimate of IRR / YR and then press STO IRR/YR. You can enter a guess for IRR / YR at these times:
Before beginning the calculation. A fairly accurate guess can reduce the time required to calculate an answer and reduce the chance of the calculator solving for an undesirable negative solution.
After you've interrupted the calculation.
- After the calculator has halted the calculation due to any of the aforementioned cases. However, for cases 3 and 5, no other solutions will be found.
When calculating IRR / YR using a guess, the calculation halts when it finds an answer. However, there may be additional positive or negative answers, or no true solution at all. You can continue searching for another solution by halting the calculation and entering a different guess.
One way to obtain a good guess for IRR / YR is to calculate the NPV for various interest rates. Since IRR / YR is the interest rate at which NPV equals zero, the best estimate of IRR / YR is the interest rate that yields the value for NPV closest to zero.
Effect of Using - to Correct Data
The HP 10BII stores the statistical numbers in an "accumulated" fashion. It doesn't store every number that you enter, but rather it performs intermediate calculations when you press the + key. The - key performs the opposite intermediate calculations to effectively remove a number or pair of numbers from the stored results.
When correcting statistical data, - does not delete rounding errors that may occur during the intermediate calculations done by + . Thus, subsequent results for corrected data may be different than for data that was entered originally without having to use - . However, the difference will not be serious unless the incorrect data has a very large magnitude compared with the correct values; in this case, you may want to clear the statistical registers and re-enter the data.
Range of Numbers
The largest positive and negative numbers available on the calculator are ± 9.999999999999 × 10^499 ; the smallest positive and negative numbers available are ± 1 × 10^-499 . Underflow briefly displays UFLO and then displays zero. Refer to the messages OFLO and UFLO in "Messages" following this appendix.

Interrupted
An IRR / YR , I / YR , or amortization calculation was interrupted by pressing ⑥ .
No Solution
No solution exists for values entered (page 129).
Not Found
A solution for IRR / YR or I / YR may or may not exist. If you are attempting to solve I / YR , you may be able to perform the calculation using IRR / YR . If you are attempting an IRR / YR calculation, refer to page 129.
OFLO
(Overflow). The magnitude of a result is too large for the calculator to handle. Message is displayed for a moment, then the overflow result is returned (±9.99999999999E499). The overflow message is also displayed if an intermediate TVM or cashflow calculation results in an overflow condition.
Pos Irr Also
(Positive Internal Rate of Return Also). An IRR/YR calculation produced a negative solution. A positive solution also exists (page 129).
running
(Running). A calculation is in process.
UFL0
(Underflow). An intermediate result in TVM is too small for the HP 10BII to process. This message is also briefly displayed if any calculation underflows. In this case, it is followed by zero.
