Bond Calculator Help

[Atomic_Sheep]

Hello,

I’m trying to figure out bonds on the HP12c. In the calculator manual it says “The price is shown in the display and also is stored in the PV register” however if I do the example just below on page 82 and press PV, I get the value -102.39 which is different to 120.38 which is what I should be seeing if I’m reading this correctly.

Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong?

Please tell us exactly what numbers you’re putting into n, i, PMT, and PV.

Dear Atomic Sheep,

Page 82 of which book? If you write reference properly, it is easier to answer your question.

Thanks

Phil
