BA II PLUS™ PROFESSIONAL Calculator

1. Press # or " to select the cash flow where you want to insert the
new one. For example, to insert a new second cash flow, select C02.
2. Press & X.
3. Key in the new cash flow and press !. The new cash flow is
entered at C02.
Computing Cash Flows
The calculator solves for these cash-flow values:
• Net present value (NPV) is the total present value of all cash flows,
including inflows (cash received) and outflows (cash paid out). A
positive NPV value indicates a profitable investment.
• Net future value (NFV) is the total future value of all cash flows. A
positive NFV value also indicates a profitable investment.
• Payback (PB) is the time required to recover the initial cost of an
investment, disregarding the present value of the cash inflows (time
value of money).
• Discounted payback (DPB) is the time required to recover the initial
cost of an investment using the present value of the cash inflows
(time value of money).
• Internal rate of return (IRR) is the interest rate at which the net
present value of the cash flows is equal to 0.
• Modified internal rate of return (MOD) considers the reinvestment
of cash when solving for IRR.
Computing NPV, NFV, PB, and DPB
1. Press ( to display the current discount rate (I).
2. Key in a value and press !.
3. Press # to display the current net present value (NPV).
4. To compute the net present value for the series of cash flows
entered, press %.
5. To compute the net future value (NFV), press #. The NFV value
appears.
6. To compute payback (PB), press #. The PB value appears.
7. To compute the payback discounted over time (DBP), press #. The
DBP value appears.
