  • Page 20: Undo Operation

    When the Undo indicator is turned off no operation can be undone. The RPN and ALG Keys The calculator can be set to perform arithmetic operations in either RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) or ALG (Algebraic) mode. In Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) mode, the intermediate results of calculations are stored automatically, hence you do not have to use parentheses.
  • Page 21: Simple Arithmetic Calculations In Rpn Mode

    In RPN mode, any simple arithmetic calculation involves two numbers and an operation — addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. To do such a calculation on your hp 12c platinum, you first tell the calculator the two numbers, then tell the calculator the operation to be performed. The answer is calculated when the operation key (+,-,§, or z) is pressed.
  • Page 22: Simple Arithmetic Calculations In Alg Mode

    In ALG mode, any simple arithmetic calculation involves two numbers and an operation — addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. To do such a calculation on your hp 12c platinum, you tell the calculator the first number, then the operation to be performed, and then tell the calculator the second number. The answer is calculated when the equals key (}) is pressed.

  • Page 33: Net Amount In Rpn Mode

    A net amount — that is, the base amount plus or minus the percentage amount — can be calculated easily with your hp 12c platinum, since the calculator holds the base amount inside after you calculate a percentage amount. To calculate a net amount, simply calculate the percentage amount, then press = or -.

    The concepts and examples presented in this section are representative of a wide range of financial calculations. If your specific problem does not appear to be illustrated in the pages that follow, don’t assume that the calculator is not capable of solving it. Every financial calculation involves certain basic elements; but the terminology used to refer to these elements typically differs among the various segments of the business and financial communities.

    5 × 12 = 60 and i would be 6% ÷ 12 = 0.5%. If you use the calculator to multiply the number of years by the number of compounding periods per year, pressing n then stores the result into n. The same is true for i.

    For instance, while the standard deviation of the values 1,999,999; 2,000,000 and 2,000,001 is 1; the standard deviation returned by the hp 12c platinum is 0 due to the effect of roundoff.

    When calculating declining-balance depreciation it is often advantageous for tax purposes to switch from declining balance to straight-line depreciation at some point. This hp 12c platinum program calculates the optimum crossover point and automatically switches to straight-line depreciation at the appropriate time. The crossover point is the end of the year in which the declining-balance depreciation last exceeds or equals the amount of straight-line depreciation.
