Calculator Thread

CFA Level I
#1

I think it would be a good idea to have a calculator thread where people can post questions/suggestions for their calculators prior to Dec. 3.

I have the BA II Plus, and one queston I have is how to delete a number after I enter. For instance, If i have a thread of calculations, get a complex # like 343.243 and want to instantly multiply that by 1.142, what can I do if I start to type and hit 1.132 rather than 1.142?

One suggestion for others is that when doing CF calculations, to enter in frequencies for cash flows spanning multiple periods. This will allow you to make more efficient calculations over long time periods.

I believe hitting clear once on the BAII will clear your last entry and hitting it twice will clear the whole formula.

#3

at the end of the 2nd row you have a button with a -> arrow. Hit that twice to clear the entries 32 then enter 42 and then =.

Awesome tip!!
