SOURCE: turn off sci
To turn off SCI, press the MODE button, then press 9. MODE 9 is the function for NORM, which means normal use. DEG is always on, but if you want to clear SCI or FIX, MODE 9 will clear these.

Did you take into account that you have beginning of the year payements? Your calculator probably treats it as an end-of-the-year payment? Did you try treating the first payement as an initial cash flow (should be available as an option in your calculator input) and the treat the three remaining years as end of the year payements at your 9% rate. It should do it.

Hello,
I am only looking for a plausible cause of the error, because I do not believe your calculator can make such a mistake. I think you accidentally activated the Exponential display format and did not pay attention to the small, raised -03 that came at the end of the number displayed. It is a common mistake for those not very familiar with Scientific or exponential notation.
Let us try to reset your calculator to the normal (floating point) format.
Press the [MODE] key a number of times until you reach a screen that has FIX, SCI, NORM and under each one a number (FIX 1, SCI 2), Norm 3). To have the number of decimal place you gave in your result (4 decimal digits), you press 1 to select Fix then 4.
Be aware that scientific calculators usually stop displaying results in floating point format ( 0.0000045 ) if the number is smaller then 0.001. So basically, 0.00099 will be displayed as 9.90-04, -04 being raised above the level, and in smaller size.
Hope it helps.
