20 The ENT and COMP symbols Listed fi nancial variables are categorized by whether they are known or unknown. When the variable is selected (displayed), the “ENT” and/or “COMP” symbols will appear to indicate that the current variable may be entered (known variable) and/or calculated (unknown variable), respectively. For details, refer to the explanations or examples for each fi nancial function. Note: TVM variables (N, I/Y, PV, PMT and FV) can be entered (known variables) and calculated (unknown variables), however, neither “ENT” nor “COMP” will appear on the display. Category Display symbols Descriptions For entry onlyENTVariable can be used as a known, but not as an unknown. For calculation onlyCOMPVariable can be used as an unknown, but not as a known. For entry or calcula- tionENT COMPVariable can be used as either a known or an unknown. Calculated automati- cally—Unknown variable, but the calculator calculates the value automatically. Notes: • During fi nancial calculation, the word “calculating!” will be displayed on the screen. You can press s at this time to cancel the calculation. • Calculation-only and automatically calculated variables have no default values. • The symbol will be displayed if the value of the displayed variable has not been calculated yet (for variables that can be calculated).

21 Compound interest This calculator assumes interest is compounded periodically in fi nancial calculations (compound interest). Compound inter- est accumulates at a predefi ned rate on a periodic basis. For example, money deposited in a passbook saving account at a bank accumulates a certain amount of interest each month, increasing the account balance. The amount of interest received each month depends on the balance of the account during that month, including interest added in previous months. Interest earns interest, which is why it is called compound interest. It is important to know the compounding period of a loan or investment before starting, because the whole calculation is based on it. The compounding period is specifi ed or assumed (usually monthly). Cash fl ow diagrams The direction of arrows indicates the direction of cash movement (infl ow and outfl ow) with time.

22 TVM (Time Value of Money) Solver Analyze equal and regular cash fl ows. These include calcula- tions for mortgages, loans, leases, savings, annuities, and contracts or investments with regular payments. Note: Discounted cash fl ow analysis can be done using un- equal cash fl ows (see page 37). An amortization schedule can be calculated using the information stored in the TVM solver (see page 33).

28 Specifying payments due (. ") This calculator can select ordinary annuity or annuity due de- pending on the regular cash fl ow (payment) conditions. Ordinary annuity (END): This is the default setting for fi nancial calculations. BGN is not displayed. A regular cash fl ow (payment) is received at end of each payment period. Often applied to loan calculations, etc. Annuity due (BGN): BGN appears on the display. A regular cash fl ow (payment) is received at the beginning of each payment period. Often applied to the fi nance lease of an asset. To toggle between ordinary annuity and annuity due, press . " . Note: The above selection only affects the TVM solver. Ordinary annuity Your company wishes to accumulate a fund of $300,000 over the next 18 months in order to open a second location.
