Finance buttons
Finance buttons enable you to find an unknown variable value based on a group of known variable 
values. For example, to calculate the monthly payment for a 30-year home loan of $100,000 with 
an annual interest rate of 8%, you would enter the following variables:
nPayments/year = 12
nN = 360 (30 years x 12 months)
nAPR = 8
nPV = 100,000
nFV = 0
Using these variables, the answer would be -733.76 per month.
