Chapter 14: Applications 259
Each TVM function takes zero to six arguments, which must be real numbers. The values that you
specify as arguments for TVM functions are not stored to the TVM variables.
Note: To store a value to a
TVM variable, use the TVM Solver or use ¿ and any TVM variable on the
FINANCE VARS menu.
If you enter less than six arguments, the graphing calculator substitutes a previously stored
TVM
variable value for each unspecified argument.
If you enter any arguments with a
TVM function, you must place the argument or arguments in
parentheses.
tvm_Pmt
tvm_Pmt computes the amount of each payment.
tvm_Pmt[(òÚ,¾æ,PV,FV,P/Y,C/Y)]
Note: In the example above, the values are stored to the
TVM variables in the TVM Solver. The payment
(tvm_Pmt) is computed on the home screen using the values in the TVM Solver. Next, the interest rate is
changed to 9.5 to illustrate the effect on the payment amount.
tvm_I%
tvm_æ computes the annual interest rate.
tvm_¾æ [(Ú,PV,PMT,FV,P/Y,C/Y)]
tvm_PV
tvm_PV computes the present value.
