Before Performing Financial Calculations
k Graphing in the TVM Mode
After performing a fi nancial calculation, you can use 6(GRPH) to graph the results as
shown below.
• Pressing 1(Trace) or !1(TRCE) while a graph is on the display activates Trace,
which can be used to look up other fi nancial values. In the case of simple interest, for
example, pressing e displays
PV, SI, and SFV. Pressing d displays the same values in
reverse sequence.
• Zoom, Scroll, and Sketch cannot be used in the TVM mode.
• Whether you should use a positive or a negative value for the present value (PV) or the
purchase price (PRC) depends on the type of calculation you are trying to perform.
• Note that graphs should be used only for reference purposes when viewing TVM mode
calculation results.
• Note that calculation results produced in this mode should be regarded as reference values
only.
• Whenever performing an actual fi nancial transaction, be sure to check any calculation
results obtained using this calculator with against the fi gures calculated by your fi nancial
institution.
