Be sure that any variables not in the problem are set to 0, otherwise they will be included in the calculation. To solve these problems you simply enter the variables that you know on the appropriate lines and then scroll to the line for the variable you wish to solve for. In this case, we have a 4-variable problem and were given 3 of them (N, I%, and PV) and had to solve for the 4th (FV).
Of these, you will always be given 3 or 4 and asked to solve for the other.
This tutorial will make extensive use of the TVM Solver, but the TI 84 Plus offers additional financial functions in the Finance menu. That's it, the calculator is ready to go. Finally, press 2nd MODE to exit the menu. Next, use the right arrow key to highlight the 5 and press Enter. To change the display, press the MODE key, then the down arrow key once (to the Float line). Personally, I like to see five decimal places, but you may prefer some other number. By default the TI-84 displays only two decimal places. There is one adjustment which needs to be made before using this calculator. I will keep the examples rather elementary, but understanding the basics is all that is necessary to learn the calculator.
This tutorial will demonstrate how to use the financial functions to handle time value of money problems and make financial math easy. The TI-84 Plus is a fairly easy, but more difficult than most, to use financial calculator which will serve you well in all finance courses.
