| Laurel | When you subtract 1 from 1 you get 0 which makes everthing on that side of the equation 0 when multiplied or divided by 0. |
| Claudio | what do you mean, Laurel? |
| Pooh | How can this problem be answered using calculator? (Using TI BAII plus) |
| tymao | TI BAII plus: n=19, I/Y=8, PMT=100, FV=0, CPT PV=960.36, add $100 to make 1060.36 or set as BGN mode. |
| jaan | Set your TI BAII plus in BGN mode: 2nd BGN 2nd [SET], also set 2nd [P/Y] =1 then enter values n=20, I/Y=8, PMT=-100, FV=0, CPT PV = 1060.3599 if you get negative value that would be due to your PMT, so enter PMT as negative number |
| suraj | PV of annuity due= PV of ordinary annuity *(1+r) PV =100[1/0.08 -1/0.08(1.08)^20]=981.81 PV(Due)=981*1.08=1060.35 |
| danlan | Set the bgn mode or calculate as tymao |
| mansi | Instead of setting the calculator in the BGN mode calculate for ordinary annuity and multiply it with (1+r) it will give the same answer. it will bocome a problem for other questions if u forget to change the mode from BGN back to END mode. |
| ashok1959 | can any one tell me how to set calculator from end to bgn mode. |
| arkot90 | for hp calculator just press g beg to set to bgn mode or g end to return to end mode |
| olagbami | u can jst calculate the ordinary annuity using d default mode of d BA II plus calculator (no need to adjust ur calculator) and multiply ur result by 1+r. That will give u d annuity due. |
| sogah | thanks jaan that helped |
| EEEEvia | can anyone tell me why FV=0?? |
I used your notes and passed ... highly recommended!
