Re: 12c Financial Calculator [#permalink]
Just did a basic compounding FV calculation, and it worked, so the 12c is not hopeless for me. However, it must have something to do with the time calculation in the other problem being that it is the FV at 4 months with an interest rate that compounds annually. I want to get to the bottom of it!

Re: 12c Financial Calculator [#permalink]
An individual invests $55 in an account that has an interest rate of 8 percent compounded annually. After four months, what will this investment be worth?

Re: 12c Financial Calculator [#permalink]
I got it, Rhyme! Well, actually HP got it for me. You have to turn the "c" indicator on first to put in partial compounding mode. Press STO, then EEX, and the go about it as before. Answer: 56.43! Thanks again for your help!
