Universal Power

;
lets you raise a positive number to any power (2 example). However, you can raise a negative number only to an integer power or the reciprocal of an odd number. In either case, the power can be either positive or negative.

Parentheses

Parentheses let you control the order in which a numeric expression is evaluated. The portion of an expression enclosed in parentheses is evaluated separately. Up to 15 levels of parentheses are available, with up to 8 pending operations.
If an expression would end in a series of closed parentheses you can omit pressing :. Press N to close all of the parentheses automatically, evaluate the expression, and display the end result. To see intermediate results, press : repeatedly.

Factorial

Rounding

The round function is useful when you need to perform a calculation using the displayed form of a number rather than the unrounded value that the calculator stores internally. The decimal format setting does not round the calculator’s internally stored value, only the displayed value.

lets you change the internal value to match its
displayed form.

After rounding
For example, in the Bond worksheet, you might want to round a computed selling price to the nearest penny (two decimal places) before continuing with your calculation.

Scientific Notation

If you compute a value that is larger or smaller than the calculator can display in standard decimal format, the value is displayed in scientific notation. A value in scientific notation is displayed as a base value (sometimes called a mantissa), followed by a blank space, followed by an exponent.
You cannot directly enter a number in scientific notation, but when the AOS calculation method is selected, you can use the

What Is a Worksheet?

Each worksheet is designed as a framework for a set of variables. The formulas that define the relationships between the variables, though not visible, are built into each worksheet.
Each worksheet is designed to solve specific types of problems such as time-value-of money, cash-flow, bond, or depreciation problems.
You access the Time-Value-of-Money (TVM) worksheet variables with the five TVM keys on the third row of the keyboard (,, -, ., /, 0).
All other worksheets are prompted. For example, the
\
key sequence lets you access the variables in the
prompted worksheet to amortization calculations.
You select settings for some variables, assign known values to other variables, and compute values for the unknown variables.
Variable labels are displayed one at a time, along with any value previously assigned to the variable.
By changing the values of the variables, you can quickly perform “what if” calculations.
Generally, each worksheet is independent of the others; operations you perform in one worksheet do not affect variables in other worksheets.
All current worksheet data is retained when you stop using a worksheet, even if you turn off the calculator.

Compound Interest

Many lending institutions add the interest you earn to the principal. The interest you earn from the previous compounding period becomes part of the principal for the next compounding period. Compound interest enables you to earn a greater amount of interest on your initial investment.
In order to earn compound interest, the interest must remain with the principal. For example, if you invest $100 at an annual interest rate of 10% compounded annually, you earn $10 interest after one year. At the end of the second year, the interest is calculated on $110 ($100 principal plus $10 accumulated interest), so you earn $11 in the second year. As additional interest accumulates, your interest earnings increase each year.

Your business is considering getting a new computer server. If you lease, you would pay $36,000 per year for five years at the first of each year. You could buy it for $125,000. The server is expected to save the company $46,000 per year. It will have no resale value at the end of the five years. The company can borrow at 15% annual interest. You require a 20% annual return on projects and investments of this kind. Ignoring tax effects, should you acquire it, and if so, should you lease or purchase it?

Present Value of Lease with Residual Value

The Peach Bright Company wants to purchase a machine that it is currently leasing from your company. You offer to sell it for the present value of the lease discounted at an annual interest rate of 22% compounded monthly. The machine has a residual value of $6500, and 46 monthly payments of $1200 remain on the lease. If the payments are due at the beginning of each month, how much should you charge for the machine?
The total value of the machine is the present value of the residual value plus the present value of the lease payments.

Saving for the Future by Making Monthly Deposits

Accounts with payments made at the beginning of the period are referred to as “annuity due” accounts. Interest on annuity due accounts starts accumulating earlier and produces slightly higher yields.

Terminology

The following terminology applies to the Bond worksheet.
Call Date
before the bond’s maturity date is a callable bond. The call date for such a bond is printed in the bond contract.
Coupon Payment
of the bond as interest.
Coupon Rate
Dollar Price
dollars per $100 of par value.
Par Value (or face value)
Premium Bond
the par value sells at a premium.
Discount Bond
sells at a discount.
Redemption Date
retires the bond. This date may be the date of maturity or, for a callable bond, a call date.
Redemption Value
bond when it is 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.

— A bond that sells for an amount greater than
— A bond selling for less than the par value
— The date on which the issuing agency
— The amount paid to the owner of the

Yield to Maturity
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.
