For convenience, and assuming problems no larger than this on exams, let us work with
the maximum number of periods = 7 so n=6:

npv = C0+ + + + + +

where r is either the Required Rate of Return or the IRR (Internal Rate of Return); C0 is
the initial investment; C1 is the cashflow at the end of the first period; C2 is the cashflow
at the end of the second period; NPV is either the value to be calculated for the net
present value or NPV is set to zero to calculate, r, the IRR.
Up to C3 should be visible. Use the cursor up and down keys to look at the full set of
values. If you cursor onto the top line, the variables will disappear. Cursoring down will
make them reappear.

FVA =
can be expressed to the calculator as:
fva=(pmt*((1+(r/m))^(yrs*m))-1)/(r/m)))*(1+(r/m)*beg)
Where
“m” is the number of periods in a year
“yrs” is the number of years
“r” is the annual interest rate
where “(r/m)” is the periodic interest rate
“(yrs*m)” is the number of periods
“beg” = 1 if the question asks for an annuity due
“beg” = 0 if the question asks for an annuity
In the solver “exp” refers to the left hand side of the equation or the FVA in this case. As
before you can enter a value for exp and calculate one of the other variables: so if you
want to calculate the payment given the FVA, yrs, m, r and knowing the mode (beg/end)
you fill in exp=FVA, yrs =number, m= number, r = decimal expression of rate, and beg
=1 or beg=0. Then go to the pmt line and hit F5 to solve.
1+{r m}
mn
FV n = PV
can be expressed to the calculator as:
fv=pv*((1/(r/m)) ^(yrs*m)
where
“fv” is the future value
“pv” is the present value
“m” is the number of periods in a year
“yrs” is the number of years
“r” is the annual interest rate
where “(r/m)” is the periodic interest rate
“(yrs*m)” is the number of periods
FV = PV e
r *n
n
can be expressed to the calculator as:
fvc=pvc*e^(r*yrs)
where
“fvc” is the future value under continuous compounding
“pv” is the present value under continuous compounding
“yrs” is the number of years
“r” is the annual interest rate
“e^” is obtained using 2nd and LN keys.
In the solver “exp” refers to the left hand side of the equation or the FVC (under
continous compounding) in this case. As before you can enter a value for the FVC beside
“exp=” and calculate one of the other variables. Enter values for the known variables.
Then go to the line with the variable for which you want to solve and hit F5 to solve.
{r m}
m
Effective Annual Rate = 1+ −1
can be expressed to the calculator as:
ear=((1+(r/m))^m) –1
where
“ear” is the effective annual rate
“yrs” is the number of years
“m” is the number of periods in a year
“r” is the annual interest rate
In the solver “exp” refers to the left hand side of the equation or the EAR in this case.
Enter values for the known variables. Then go to the “exp=” line and hit F5 to solve.
PVP = A r is equivalent to
PVCGP = {CF ( r − g )} 1
