  After configuring the parameters, use one of the function menus noted below to perform the 
corresponding calculation.
  • { n } … {number of compound periods}
  • { I% } … {annual interest rate}
  • { PV } … {present value} (Loan: loan amount; Savings: balance)
  • { PMT } … {payment} (Loan: installment; Savings: deposit)
  • { FV } … {future value} (Loan: unpaid balance; Savings: principal plus interest)
  • { AMT } … {amortization screen}
  • An error (Ma ERROR) occurs if parameters are not configured correctly.
  Use the following function menus to maneuver between calculation result screens.
  • { REPT } … {parameter input screen}
  • { AMT } … {amortization screen}
  • { GRPH } … {draws graph}
  After drawing a graph, you can press !1(TRCE) to turn on trace and read calculation 
results along the graph.
  Press J to return to the parameter input screen.
4. Cash Flow (Investment Appraisal)
 This calculator uses the discounted cash flow (DCF) method to perform investment appraisal 
by totalling cash flow for a fixed period. This calculator can perform the following four types of 
investment appraisal.
  • Net present value ( 
NPV )
  • Net future value ( 
NFV )
  • Internal rate of return ( 
IRR )
  • Payback period ( 
PBP )
  A cash flow diagram like the one shown below helps to visualize the movement of funds.
  With this graph, the initial investment amount is represented by CF 0 . The cash flow one year 
later is shown by CF 1 , two years later by CF 2 , and so on.
