tomalot Method one gives a NPV of 1,322.709.

Method 2 seems correct. Confused!
lordcomas Does anyone has an idea where to find a tutorial for using cashflows with the TI BAII plus?
bwhitele Why is the solution using i = 0.3 and not 0.36?
myron because it's the monthly interest rate @bwhitele
ashish100 Yeah, issue as lordcomas. How do i add the "I" on BAII plus?
Thanks in advance.
IvanRios 3.6%/12months = .3/per month. That is why I = 0.3
