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 in Ch. 6.
