| Bibhu | In BA II plus, 1. CF + Clear Work 2. CF0=0, C01=35+3=38,F01=1, I= 10, CPT NPV. Though for the above mentioned example, the answer seem to be easier one, but in general CF methodology through BA II Plus is better approach. Don't forget to clear work. |
| rfvo | Thanks, Bibhu |
| Natalia82 | Or with 1-year holding period... In BA II Plus 1. FV=3+35=38 2. I/Y=10 3. N=1 CPT PV |
| ljamieson | Just 38/1.1 would suffice |
| johntan1979 | Agree with ljamieson... 7 buttons to press vs more than 14 buttons. You don't need the CF menu for a one year holding. |
| davidmort | how do you do this on a HP 12c. |
| Shaan23 | If you guys cant do this without a calculator then you dont understand the logic. There's no need for a calculator. 38/1.1 |
| robertucla | ^saves time and less room for error. |
| Rachelle3 | 38 divided by ( 1+ rate) ok! |
| Rachelle3 | you can do it to the power of 1 but do you really need to? lol |
I am using your study notes and I know of at least 5 other friends of mine who used it and passed the exam last Dec. Keep up your great work!
