2. Enter the known values for four TVM variables. Note: Enter cash inflows as positive numbers and cash outflows as negative numbers. 3. Enter a value for P/Y, which automatically enters the same value for C/Y; if P/Y ƒ C/Y, enter a unique value for C/Y. 4. Select END or BEGIN to specify the payment method. 5. Place the cursor on the TVM variable for which you want to solve. 6. Press ƒ \. The answer is computed, displayed in the TVM Solver, and stored to the appropriate TVM variable. An indicator square in the left column designates the solution variable. Using the Financial Functions Entering Cash Inflows and Cash Outflows When using the TI-84 Plus financial functions, you must enter cash inflows (cash received) as positive numbers and cash outflows (cash paid) as negative numbers. The TI-84 Plus follows this convention when computing and displaying answers. FINANCE CALC Menu To display the FINANCE CALC menu, press ÎŒ Í. CALC VARS 1: TVM Solver...
