danlan We get NPV=3027.8, the the future value=NPV*1.1^4=4433
chuong Try it again
Co=1000, C1=1200, C2=1500, I=10 =>NPV=3330.57581 then PV=-33057581, I/Y=10, N=3 => FV = 4433
Rotigga Great tip, chuong!
julescruis nice one
thekapila well here is the correct way to do it.
C0 = -1000
C1 = -1200
C2 -1500
I - 10
CMPT NFV - 4433
StanleyMo This questions is tricky: you have in fact t=0, t=1, and t=2 bank in

but they want you to calculate the total amount at t =3 instead of t=2.

thats why we are using C1, C2 and C3 with the C1
= 1100 ( not 1000!, that is t=0)
TammTamm Thanks for the two step process chuong. Makes sense now.
SANTOSHPRABHU Using BA II Plus:

2nd reset enter

2nd QUIT: 0.00

CF: CFo = previous value
2nd CLR WORK: CFo = 0.00
1000 ENTER: CFo = 1,000.00

DownArrow: C01 = 0.00
1200 ENTER: C01 = 1,200.00
DownArrow: F01 = 1.00

DownArrow: C02 = 0.00
1500 ENTER: C02 = 1500.00
DownArrow: F02 = 1.00

NPV: I = 0.00
10 ENTER: I = 10.00

DownArrow: NPV = 0.00

CPT: NPV = 3330.58

Thus PV = -3,330.58
N=3
I/Y=10

CPT > FV = 4433.00
VT2010 can someone solve this one with hp12c please
regards vishal
ThanhBUI short cut possible only if identical rates
johntan1979 Throw away your HP12C
chipster got the same thing danlan.
jonan615 HP12C:

1000 [g][cf0]
1200 [g][cfj]
1500 [g][cfj]
10 [i][f][npv]
[enter][enter]
1.10 [enter]
3 [y^x]
[times] = 4432.99
coryrmoore Thanks Jonan

I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
