*1 N, I/Y, PV, PMT, FV *2 All financial variables, except for TVM variables *3 x, sx, σx, n, Σx, Σx2, y, sy, σy, Σy, Σy2, Σxy, r, a, b, c Temporary memories (A-H, X-Z) Press g and the variable key to store a value in memory. Press f and the variable key to recall a value from the memory. To place a variable in an equation, press i and the variable key. Independent memory (M) In addition to all the other features of temporary memories, a value can be added to or subtracted from an existing memory value. Press s g M to clear the independent memory (M). Last answer memory (ANS) • The calculation result obtained by pressing = or any other calculation ending instruction (including storing and recalling operations) is automatically stored in the last answer memory. • Listed financial variables are automatically stored in the last answer memory by displaying the variable and the value. TVM variables TVM variables can be recalled using f in the same way as temporary memories. It is not necessary to press g to store a value. Listed financial variables Financial variables are specific to the type of calculation they are used in. For example, the variable N is available to the TVM solver but not to discounted cash flow analysis calculations. If you want to carry a value from a variable over into a different type of calculation, use one of the following methods: • Last answer memory (ANS): Within the original calculation, display the variable and value that you wish to carry over. The value is automatically entered into last answer memory. Press s to exit the calculation (the listed financial variables will disappear from the screen), and press i / to bring up the value from the previous calculation. M-D-Y (D-M-Y) 1 and M-D-Y (DM-Y) 2 are not stored in last answer memory. • Variables common to both calculations: If the value that you wish to carry over is held in a variable that exists in both types 15
