SOLVE instructions:
1.
If
your
first
TVM calculation is to solve for interest rate, I, press 1
e
I.
2.
Press
º
d
. If necessary, press
×
or
Ø
to scroll through the
equation list until you come to the TVM equation.
3.
Do one of the following five operations:
a.
Press
Û
N to calculate the number of compounding periods.
b.
Press
Û
I to calculate periodic interest.
For monthly payments, the result returned for
I
is the
monthly
interest rate,
i
; press 12
¸
to see the annual interest rate.
c.
Press
Û
B to calculate initial balance of a loan or savings account.
d.
Press
Û
P to calculate periodic payment.
e.
Press
Û
F to calculate future value or balance of a
loan
.
4.
Key in the values of the four known variables as they are prompted for; press
¥
after each value.
5.
When you press the last
¥
, the value of the unknown variable is calculated
and displayed.
6.
To calculate a new variable, or recalculate the same variable using different
data, go back to step 2.
SOLVE works effectively in this application without initial guesses.
Variables Used:
N
The number of compounding periods.
I
The
periodic
interest rate as a percentage. (For example, if the
annual
interest rate is 15% and there are 12 payments per year,
the
periodic
interest rate,
i
, is 15
÷
12=1.25%.)
B
The initial balance of loan or savings account.
P
The periodic payment.
F
The future value of a savings account or balance of a loan.
Example:
Part 1.
You are financing the purchase of a car with a 3–year (36–month) loan
at 10.5% annual interest compounded monthly. The purchase price of the car is
$7,250. Your down payment is $1,500.
