To reset only the TVM variables (N, I/Y, PV, PMT, FV) to default values,
press & ^.
To reset P/Y and C/Y to default values, press & [ & z.
To reset the Amortization worksheet variables (P1, P2, BAL, PRN, INT) to
default values, press & z while in the Amortization worksheet.
To reset END/BGN to the default value, press & ] & z.
Clearing the Unused Variable
For problems using only four of the five TVM variables, enter a value of zero for
the unused variable.
For example, to determine the present value (
PV) of a known future value (FV)
with a known interest rate (I/Y) and no payments, enter 0 and press PMT.
Entering Positive and Negative Values for Outflows and Inflows
Enter negative values for outflows (cash paid out) and positive values for
inflows (cash received).
Note: To enter a negative value, press S after entering the number. To
change a negative value to positive, press S.
Entering Values for I/Y, P/Y, and C/Y
Enter
I/Y as the nominal interest rate. The TVM worksheet automatically
converts I/Y to a
per period
rate based on the values of P/Y and C/Y.
Entering a value for
P/Y automatically enters the same value for C/Y. (You
can change C/Y.)
