Hi i have a casio BF-100 calculator, how do i perform calculations such as NPV and IROR, PV, FV etc etc or where can I find some literature on this?

final value = principal value x (1+I)^n
I= interest rate for n say 10% it would be 0.10
if n= 1 year then interest rate if
one year interest rate so if 5 years n= 5
if interest rate is monthly then divide year int rate by 12
and increase n by 12 so 5 years equals 60 terms of interest calculation.
cost of equity would be pv + pv * CPI
if CPi was 2.5% as an example
cost of equity for year one= PV + (PV * 2.5/100)
fv = pv*(1+2.5/100)^1
if cpi is different each year then
fv= pv1(1+2.5/100)^1 + pv1(1+cpi2/100)^1 + pv1(1+cpi3/100)^1
If CPI is same for each year then FV = PV (1+0.025)^number of years.
^ 2 is like squared

Hi there,

To calculate present value you need to type in all the other missing values and then press COMP and PV.
For example: if the future value is R5000, the interest is 12% p.a. compounded monthly and it paid over 3 years.
Type in 5000 and press FV
type in 12 and I/Y
Press 2nd F and I/Y and make sure P/Y says 12 (for 12 payments per year).
Press ON
press 3 press 2nd F N and then press N again (for 36 payments in total). Make sure your screen says ANS -> N otherwise the calculation will not work.
Now if if your payments are 0 (in other words you are not making monthly payments) then press 0 and PMT,
Otherwise, if you are making monthly payments for e.g. R200 a month, type in +/- 200 PMT.
Now calculate your original amount by pressing COMP PV.
If you made no payments your original amount should be -3494.62
And if you chose to add payments your original amount should be
2 526.88.

The two calculators you are referring to do not have a financial utility. they cannot calculate cash flows. Casio does make a financial calculator, the FC-200V. Texas Instruments has two or three Business Analysts and so does HP. Some Casio Graphing Calculators are able to perform TVM, Amortization and such like financial applications.

Sorry, but that calculator does not have a financial application.

The calculator has different worksheets.
To access TVM worksheet, press [2nd] and any TVM key : N, I/Y, PV, PMT or FV
To enter Amortization worksheet, press [2nd][AMORT]
To access Cash Flow (problem with unequal cash flows) Press CF, or NPV, or CPT or IRR
To access BOND worksheets press [2nd][BND]
For depreciation worksheets press [2nd][DPR]
For statistics, use [2nd][DATA], or [2nd][STAT].
There are other worksheets [2nd][Delta%], [2nd][DATE], [2nd][PROFIT], [2nd][BRKEVN],[2nd][MEMory].

These shortcuts will not get you anywhere if you do not consult the manual.

Check to make sure you have the proper value set for payments-per-year.

Hey,
Just found out the answer!
Apparently you can't have both FV and PV positive. Try the calculation with one of them being negative.

101.26 is what you'd get for 5% APR compounded monthly for three months. 115.76 is what you'd get for 5% APR compounded yearly for three years. Make sure that the compounding interval and the interest rate are consistent.

You have the payments-per-year set to 12. For this pair of problems, it needs to be set to 1.
Press 2nd [P/Y] 1 ENTER.

PV=1,077,202 while FV=1,000,000 ? I wonder somebody will lent me $1,077,202 and accept to get back $1,000,000 in 10 years later.
Your example's got prob, guy !
