Before entering the data you need to make sure that the financial registers (each key is nothing more than a memory register) are cleared. In this problem, the $100 is the present value (PV), N is 5, and i is 10%.

How much will you have accumulated at the end of this time period?

Suppose that you have $100 to invest for a period of 5 years at an interest rate of 10% per year. We'll begin with a very simple problem that will provide you with most of the skills to perform financial math on the 12C: If the answer isn't there, drop me a note and maybe I'll know the answer. If you have questions about the 12C, please check the FAQ. That's it, the calculator is ready to go. I would press f 5 to display 5 decimal places. To change the display, press f and then the number of decimal places you wish to display. Personally, I like to see five decimal places, but you may prefer some other number. By default the 12C displays only two decimal places. One adjustment is important before we get started. It takes some time to get used to initially, but it is worth it in the long run. I still recommend that you use the RPN mode. They are almost identical, but the 12C Platinum is faster and allows you to use algebraic data entry like most other calculators. Please note that there are two versions of the HP 12C: The original one (in the picture), and the newer 12C Platinum. I will make no effort here to teach RPN as it isn't necessary for our purposes. I will keep the examples rather elementary, but understanding the basics is all that is necessary to learn the calculator.

This tutorial will demonstrate how to use the financial functions to handle time value of money problems and make financial math easy. Actually, its very easy if you already know RPN (reverse polish notation - a much better way to enter data into a calculator than the algebraic method that you are probably familiar with). The HP 12C is a fairly easy to use financial calculator that will serve you well in all finance courses. I'm very satisfied with this purchase.Are you a student?

#BUY HP 12C FINANCIAL CALCULATOR SERIES#
A new issue of the iconic and classic HP Voyager series 11c, 12c, 15c, 16c, and the HP 71b, this calculator will give years of good, reliable performance to anyone learning or working in Real Estate, Banking, and Accounting. The calculator keypad is laid out in landscape versus the traditional portrait style. The 12c business and financial calculators are capable of so much, it would take me a semester of college to master its features and programming. The calculator also came with a nice leather case with a built-in business card pocket.

Comes with a digital Quick Start and User manual on CD that can be printed out, but the manuals are over 270 pages. The newer 12c uses 2 CR2032 batteries vs the older, gold 12c which uses 3 LR44 batteries. The calculator appears to be of very good build quality with very good key feedback. This is a very good teaching tool for learning Accounting/Finance.
