0 50 100 150 200
What is the PV of these CFs?
First clear the HP and make sure that periods/year is set equal to 1.
0 Sets CF
0
equal to 0.
CF

50 Sets CF
1
equal to 50. On next entry, hold down CF

key to see what it says. By

At this point the HP knows the cash flows, the number of periods, and the interest rate. To find the PV,
press to get PV = NPV = $377.40.
