also make sure your calculator is has the right setting for the interest else you will get the wrong ans

 

[Fehling73]

If I follow your instructions there is no problem with the calculation. What setting are you referring to? Thx.

nevermind then.you are all set. gudluck on your studies

the factory setting has 12 periods per yr. since you are going to be using interest per period in your calculations for the exam, you have to change the periods per yr to 1 so that the interest rate will match the period that you enter. it seems you have that already tho. however, if you change your batteries make sure you reset it to 1 period per yr.
