GETTING STARTED
There are a few things you need to do before we can start with the calculations.
FUNCTION SET‐UP
The HP10BII is already set up as a financial calculator so it is not necessary to set a particular mode.
SETTING PAYMENTS PER PERIOD
In these notes, we use the same logic used with
manual calculations and set our payments to one
payment per period.
DECIMAL PLACES
To set your calculator to the conventional two
decimal places or four decimal places.
DECIMAL INDICATOR
The HP10BII can show the decimal indicator as a
comma or a point.
CLEARING PREVIOUS WORK
Every transaction in this document will commence
with the following keystrokes. C All is the function to
clear all the internal registers of the calculator.
SETTING FOR PAYMENTS AT BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD
If you are working with an annuity due you must set
your calculator to peform caluations from the
beginning of the period. If you are doing lump‐sum
calculations or ordinary annuities check to see that
your calculator is correctly set and does not dispay
