Explanation / Answer

Note: All of my answers use the HP 10bII FinancialCalculator.

Tip: Make sure the calculator is set to END mode, (if it is setto BEG mode it will say BEGIN at the bottom of the display)

d. N = 40, I/YR = 6, PV = solve for, PMT = 1,000(.08)/2 = 40, FV= 1,000 Also make sure P/YR is set to 2

                   PV = $1,231.15
