636     Appendix      

 

 

Using Calculators for Financial Analysis

 

This appendix is designed to help you use either an algebraic calculator (Texas Instruments BA-35 Student Business Analyst) or the Hewlett-Packard 12C financial calculator.  We realize that most calculators come with comprehensive instructions, and this appendix is meant only to provide basic instructions for commonly used financial calculations.

   There are always two things to do before starting your calculations as indicated in the first table:  clear the calculator and set the decimal point.  If you do not want to lose data stored in memory, do not perform steps 2 and 3 in the first box below.

   Each step is listed vertically as a number followed by a decimal point.  After each step you will find either a number or a calculator function denoted by a box      .  Entering the number on your calculator is one step and entering the function is another.  Notice that the HP 12C is color-coded.  When two boxes are found one after another, you may have an   f  or a   g   in the first box.   An    f    is orange coded and refers to the orange functions above the keys.  After typing the   f   function, you will automatically look for an orange coded key to punch.  For example, after   f   in the first Hewlett-Packard box (right-hand  panel), you will punch in the orange color coded REG.  If the   f    function is not followed by another box, you merely type in   f   and the value indicated.

Bond Valuation Using Both the TI BA-35 and the HP 12C

 

Solve for Pb = Price of the bond

 

Given:

 

   It = $80 annual coupon payments or 8% coupon ($40 semiannually)

   Pn = $1,000 principal (par value)

   n = 10 years to maturity (20 periods semiannually)

   Y = 9.0% yield to maturity or required rate of return (4.5% semiannually)

BOND VALUATION

 

All steps begin with number 1.  Numbers following each step are keystrokes followed by a box      .  Each box represents a keystroke and indicates which calculator function is performed.

 

The Texas Instruments calculator requires that data be adjusted for semiannual compounding, otherwise it assumes annual compounding.

 

The Hewlett-Packard 12C internally assumes that semiannual compounding is used and requires annual data to be entered.  The HP 12C is more detailed in that it requires the actual day, month, and year.  If you want an answer for a problem that requires a given number of years (e.g., 10 years), simply start on a date of your choice and end on the same date 10 years later, as in the example.

               It   =  $80 annual  coupon payments or 8% coupon ($40 semiannually)

YIELD TO MATURITY

 

All steps begin with number 1.  Numbers following each step are keystrokes followed by a box      .  Each box represents a keystroke and indicates which calculator function is performed.

 

The TI BA-35 does not internally compute a semiannual rate, so the data must be adjusted to reflect semiannual payments and periods.  The answer received in step 10 is a semiannual rate, which must be multiplied by 2 to reflect an annual yield.

 

The HP 12C internally assumes that semiannual payments are made and, therefore, the answer in step 9 is the annual yield to maturity based on semiannual coupons.  If you want an answer on the HP for a given number of years (e.g., 10 years), simply start on a date of your choice and end on the same date 10 years later, as in the example.

NET PRESENT VALUE OF AN ANNUITY

 

All steps are numbered and some steps include several keystrokes.  All numbers following each step are keystrokes followed by a box

    .  Each box represents a keystroke and indicates which calculator function is performed on that number.

 

The calculation for the present vale of an annuity on the TI BA-35 requires that the project cost be subtracted from the present value of the cash inflows.

 

The HP 12C could solve the problem exactly with the same keystrokes as the TI.  However, since the HP uses a similar method to solve uneven cash flows, we elected to use the method that requires more keystrokes but includes a negative cash outflow for the cost of the capital budgeting project

 

To conserve space, several keystrokes have been put into one step..

NET PRESENT VALUE OF AN UNEVEN CASH FLOW

 

All steps are numbered and some steps include several keystrokes.  All numbers following each step are keystrokes followed by a box

    .  Each box represents a keystroke and indicates which calculator function is performed on that number.

 

Because we are dealing with uneven cash flows, each number must be entered.  The TI BA-35 requires that you make sure of the memory.  In step 2, you enter the future cash inflow in year 1 and, in step 3, you determine its present value, which is stored in memory.  After the first 1-year calculation, following year present values are calculated in the same way and added to the stored value using the SUM key.  Finally, the recall key  RCL  is used to recall the present value of the total cash inflows.

 

The HP 12C requires each cash flow to be entered in order.  The Cfo key represents the cash flow in time period 0.  The CFj key automatically counts the year of the cash flow in the order entered and so no years need be entered.  Finally, the cost of capital of 12% is entered and the   f   key and NPV key are used to complete the problem.

INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN ON AN ANNUITY

 

All steps are numbered and some steps include several keystrokes.  All numbers following each step are keystrokes followed by a box

    .  Each box represents a keystroke and indicates which calculator function is performed on that number.

 

The calculation for the internal rate of return on an annuity on the TI BA-35 requires relatively few keystrokes.

 

The HP 12C requires more key-strokes than the TI BA-35, because it needs to use the function keys  f   and   g   to enter data into the internal programs.  The HP method requires that the cash outflow be expressed as a negative, while the TI BA-35 uses a positive number for the cash outflow.

 

To conserve space, several keystrokes have been put into one step.

INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN ON UNEVEN CASH FLOW

 

All steps are numbered and some steps include several keystrokes.  All numbers following each step are keystrokes followed by a box

    .  Each box represents a keystroke and indicates which calculator function is performed on that number.

 

Because we are dealing with uneven cash flows, the mathematics of solving this problem with the TI BA-35 is not possible.  A more advanced algebraic calculator would be required.

 

However, for the student willing to use trial and error, the student can use the NPV method and try different discount rates until the NPV equals zero.

 

The HP 12C requires each cash flow to be entered in order.  The CFo  key represents the cash flow at time period 0.  The CFj key automatically counts the year of the cash flow in the order entered and so no years need to be entered.  To find the internal rate of return, use the f  IRR keys and complete the problem.
