                                 1. INTRODUCTION
                =================================================
        
                        In this chapter, you will become 
                        familiar with the features of the
                        TDS Financial Functions Library. 
                        You will learn how to install the 
                        program and how to back it up and 
                        run it.
        
        WELCOME TO THE TDS FINANCIAL FUNCTIONS LIBRARY
        
        The  TDS  Financial  Functions  Library  is  a  software  package 
        designed  to run on the HP-48SX Scientific Expandable  Calculator 
        from  Hewlett-Packard.   With  the  introduction  of  the   48SX, 
        Hewlett-Packard  has  provided a machine for the '90s  which  can 
        have the kind of impact that the HP-41 series of products had  in 
        the  '80s.  The HP-48SX is the "spiritual" successor of  the  HP-
        41CX  in that it is designed in the vertical format;  it  accepts 
        ROM and RAM plug-in cards; and, it allows for data exchange  with 
        other  computing  devices.  However, the 48SX  is  the  "logical" 
        successor  to the HP-28S, in that its programming language  is  a 
        superset  of  the 28S version of object oriented  RPN.   Programs 
        written  to  run on the 28S, once keyed into the 48SX,  will  run 
        compatibly. Programs written to run on the 41 will not run on the 
        48SX directly.
        
        The HP-48SX has significantly more computational capability  than 
        previous  HP  scientific  calculator  products.   Indeed,  it  is 
        unlikely  that any single user will require or need to learn  all 
        of the features of the machine.  One of the major distinctions of 
        the 48 is that it is possible to plug in an application card  and 
        to alter temporarily the nature of the machine.  A well  designed 
        application can take advantage of all of the hardware features of 
        the 48 without requiring you, the user, to master the intricacies 
        of  the  machine.   This is the objective of  the  TDS  Financial 
        Functions  Library.  It is possible to learn and use all  of  the 
        features of the Financial Functions Library without learning  any 
        of the capabilities of the 48SX itself.  Indeed, you do not  even 
        have  to open the 48 manuals.  However, the  Financial  Functions 
        Library  is designed so that its capabilities may  be  integrated 
        with your own calculations if you are a skilled user of the 48.
        
        BASIC FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITIES OF THE LIBRARY
        
        The TDS Financial Functions Library contains the following  basic 
        capabilities:
        
        1)  Time Value of Money Calculations - This is the classic  "five 
        variable"   TVM  problem  for  simple  installment  loans.    The 
        variables are: present value (PV), future value (FV), number of 
        payments  (n), interest rate (i), and payment amount (PMT).   The 
        problem  is: given any four variables, solve for the fifth.   The 

							Introduction 1-1


        TDS  Financial  Functions Library takes advantage  of  the  large 
        screen and "softkey" design of the 48 to show the entire  problem 
        in  the  screen  at the same time.  Once  the  problem  has  been 
        solved,  the  TDS  Financial Functions Library  can  be  used  to 
        compute an amortization schedule for the loan and print it on the 
        HP-82240B Infrared Printer.
        
        2)  Markup Calculations - This is the ability to compute  markups 
        and  discounts  based  on price or cost.   This  capability  also 
        includes  the ability to compute percents of change and  percents 
        of totals.
        
        3) Discounted Cash Flow Analysis - Discounted cash flow  analysis 
        involves a two-step process.  First, you must specify cash  flows 
        over time.  These may be unequal amounts, but the time  intervals 
        must  be  the  same.   A sequence of  equal  cash  flows  may  be 
        expressed  as a "group" of cash flows.  Once the cash  flow  list 
        has  been established, you may solve for either the  net  present 
        value  (NPV), the net future value (NFV), the net uniform  series 
        (NUS) or the internal rate of return (IRR).
        
        4)  Interest  Rate Conversions - This is the ability  to  convert 
        between nominal and effective interest rates.
        
        5)  Depreciation  Calculations - This is the ability  to  perform 
        depreciation  calculations  for  an  asset  using  any  of  three 
        depreciation methods.  
        
        INSTALLING THE LIBRARY
        
        If  your  Library  is  in ROM, installing  it  is  as  simple  as 
        inserting  the ROM Card into an open port on your 48 and  running 
        the software.  See below: Running the Library.  
        
        Be  certain  that  you  have three  AAA  alkaline  battery  cells 
        properly  installed  in your HP-48SX before you  begin  the  card 
        installation process.
        
	==>NOTE: Throughout this manual, keystrokes to use in
	   implementing the various procedures are shown in enclosed
	   in brackets [ ] indicates actual keys on the HP-48SX.
	   These may be either printed directly on a keytop or
	   temporarily shown in the bottom line of the display as
	   a "softkey" label. Keystroke enclosed in brackets [ ]
	   and preceded by either a [left-shift] or a [right-shift]
	   indicates that the named function is a "left"- or "right"
	   -shifted function and that name may be found printed on the
	   keyboard above one of the keytops. Upper case keystrokes
	   that is not enclosed in brackets indicates that the
	   message should be keyed into the command line of the 48 as
	   an alpha string, preceded by the usual [alpha] [alpha]
	   alpha-lock keystrokes.  Lower case keystrokes that is
	   enclosed in braces { } indicates that the value

							Introduction 1-2



                to be keyed in may vary depending on your unique situation.  
                A further explanation of what is required is provided 
                in braces { } on the appropriate line in the manual.
        
        1) Turn your HP-48SX OFF [right-shift] [ON].
        
        2)  Remove your port cover and make sure that you have  an  empty 
        port.  If you do not have an empty port, you will have to  remove 
        one  of the cards you have installed.  (This will cause a  system 
        memory loss if you remove plug-in RAM and it has been  configured 
        as part of your main system RAM).
        
        3)  Position  the  card in the slot  with  the  triangular  arrow 
        showing Make sure that the end of the card with the arrow printed 
        on it is inserted first.  Be certain that both edges of the 
        card are in the same port slot.
        
        4)  Slide  the card firmly into place until it stops.   When  you 
        first  feel  resistance,  it still has 6 mm (about  1/4")  to  go 
        before it is fully seated.
        
        The  installation is now complete.  Replace your port  cover  and 
        turn your HP-48SX back [ON].
        
        
        RUNNING THE TDS FINANCIAL FUNCTIONS LIBRARY
        
        Once  the  TDS  Financial Functions  Library  has  been  properly 
        installed, you may run it by pressing:
        
        [a] [a] TDSFIN [ENTER].    ([a] is the [alpha] key )
        
        The copyright notice will be displayed briefly, and then you will 
        see the product's Main Menu:
        
                           <Select [G] to [K]>
                       [G] Time value - money
                       [H] Markup

                                           [EXIT]
        
        EXITING FROM THE TDS FINANCIAL FUNCTIONS LIBRARY
        
        In the Main Menu, you will notice that the softkey above the  [F] 
        key  is labeled [EXIT].  To exit from the Library and  return  to 
        the system, merely press the key associated with this label.  
        You  will be prompted with a message asking if you are sure  that 
        you  want  to leave the program.  To respond positively  to  this 
        prompt, press [Y] (for Yes).  Control will now be returned to the 
        main HP-48SX operating system.

        HOW TO LEARN THE SYSTEM AND HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
        
        The best way to learn the TDS Financial Functions Library is just 
        to  sit down and use it.  You will find the user interface to  be 
        very intuitive and easy to master.  This is due primarily to  the 
        consistency within the product.  The Library utilizes a  combined 
        "Menu" and "Screen" user interface.  Screens make appropriate use 
        of the HP-48SX's softkeys.  These six keys across the top of  the 
        keyboard  are  defined  as  is  appropriate  to  each  job.   The 
        definitions  of these keys are always shown in the bottom row  of 
        the 48's display.  After you've learned a few "rules of the road" 
        (Chapter  2), the most efficient way to master any feature is  to 
        go ahead and press the keys and see what happens. You can't  hurt 
        the 48.
        
        This User's Manual is organized as follows:
        
        Chapter  2, "Getting Started", gives an overview of the Menu  and 
        Screen   user  interface  and  explains  the  basic   terms   and 
        conventions used throughout the product.
        
        Chapters  3  through 7 give detailed  instructions  with  example 
        problems  for each of the five main functional categories of  the 
        product.   At  the  end of each of these  chapters,  there  is  a 
        section that presents each of the screens encountered in that 
        chapter in a summary format for reference.
        
        Finally,  Appendix  A provides a listing of  the  equations  used 
        throughout the product.

                       [  ][  ][  ][  ][  ][  ]
          
        Now press [a] [a] [T] [D] [S] [F] [I] [N] [ENTER].  
        The TDS Financial Functions Library has now taken over 
        control of the machine.  You will see the MAIN MENU of the 
        product which looks like: 
        
                          <Select [G] to [K]>
                       [G] Time value -momey    
                       [H] Mark up

                                           [EXIT]
        
        Now  press  the  [left-shift] and [ON]  keys.   As  you  probably 
        already know, you access the functions printed in gold  above the 
        keys  by  pressing the gold shift key [left-shift]  before   the 
        appropriate  key.  Likewise, you access the functions printed  in 
        blue above the keys by pressing the blue shift key  [right-shift] 
        before   the  appropriate key.  In this  case,  pressing  [right-
        shift] prior to pressing [ON] will execute [OFF].

        Now press [ON]  again.  Notice that you return to the Main  Menu.  
        This is where you were when you turned the unit OFF. This is  the 
        first  Rule  of  the  Road:   When you  turn  the  TDS  Financial 
        Functions  Library  ON,  you will return to the  screen  or  menu 
        location occupied when you turned the machine OFF.
        
        The six boxes at the bottom of the display screen are called 
        "soft"  key labels.  They identify the functions of the six  keys 
        in the top row of the keyboard.  Pressing any one of these keys 
        will activate the function shown in the box above that key in the 
        bottom row of the screen.  The functions will change depending 
        on the particular screen that you are using and the problem that 
        you are solving.
        
        MENUS VS. SCREENS - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
        
        The TDS Financial Functions are intuitive to use.  Much  progress 
        can  be made in mastering its system by pressing keys and  seeing 
        what  happens  in response.  However, full understanding  of  the 
        machine  requires that a few simple concepts be well  understood.  
        One  of these is the difference between a MENU and a  SCREEN.   A 
        MENU is a display that is characterized by a list of functions or 
        operations  which  may  be  selected  by  choosing  one  of   the 
        alphabetic keys listed down the left hand column of the  display.  
        Except  for the [EXIT] key, MENUS do not use active "soft"  keys. 
        The [EXIT] key is always labeled above the [F] key on the  right.  
        Pressing  one  of the alpha keys shown in the MENU  display  will 
        present you with either another MENU (with more alpha choices and 
        an [EXIT] key) or a SCREEN.
        
        The [EXIT] key will always return to the SCREEN or MENU  location 
        occupied  prior to a current SCREEN or MENU.  Thus, MENUS in  the 
        Financial  Functions  Library  are arranged like  a  "tree".   By 
        selecting  a sequence of alpha keys, you make progress  from  the 
        MAIN  MENU  (the  trunk  of  the  tree)  to  the  large  branches 
        (additional menus) and then to the small branches (screens).   By 
        pressing  [EXIT] successively, you can progress back through  the 
        branches to the trunk (the MAIN MENU).
        
        As  an example of how this works, consider the Markup Menu.  From 
        the  Main  Menu press [H].  This will present  you  with  another 
        Menu, the Markup Menu: 
        
                            Markup
                       [G] Markup on cost
                       [H] Markup on price
                       [I] Percent change
                       [J] Percent of total
        
                                        [EXIT] 
        
        Now press [G].  You will now see your first "Screen":

						     Getting Started 2-2



			    Markup on cost
                       Cost:        0.00
                       Price:       0.00
                       MU on cost: 0.000 %
        
                       [MU%C][COST][PRICE]  [EXIT]
        
        Screens are where you actually key in your known information and, 
        in conjunction with the softkey definitions, you will solve  your 
        problems.   You will practice with this screen in Chapter 4.  Now 
        press  the [EXIT] softkey twice.  Pause each time to  notice  how 
        the  Financial Functions Library returns to the previous MENU  in 
        the  MENU "tree".  Finally, you arrive back at the first  display 
        of the MAIN MENU.
        
             ==> NOTE:  In the HP-48SX, the top row of keys are  used
                 for the alpha  keys A - F, as well as for the softkeys.
                 For this reason, all Menu labels in the Financial
                 functions Library begin with the letter [G].  
                 Since there is no ambiguity in MENUS  between menu
                 selection keys and softkeys, it is not necessary to 
                 press the [a] key prior to making a menu screen selection.  
        
        SCREENS
        
        From the MAIN MENU, press [G]; and you will see the Time Value of 
        Money  Screen.  A screen is characterized by labels and  data  on 
        each  of  the lines of the display separated by colons and  by  a 
        variety  of "soft" key labels at the bottom.  These  "soft"  keys 
        give  you several options of functions to perform.  It is in  the 
        screens where you will enter your data  and solve your  financial 
        problems.  While the user interface among the various screens  is 
        consistent, each screen solves a different kind of problem.  Each 
        screen is explained in detail in the chapters which follow.  This 
        is  another  rule  of the road.You don't solve  problems  in  the 
        menus.   The  menus  are just an aid to  help  you  navigate  the 
        various screens.  
        
        To understand some important properties of all screens, you will 
        study the Time Value of Money Screen in more detail now.
        
        The Time Value of Money Screen appears as:
        
                       No. of payments:  0
                       Annual int.:  0.000 %
                       Pr. value:     0.00
                       Payment:       0.00
                       Fu. value:     0.00
                       No. of pmts/yr:  12
                       Payment mode:  >End
        
                       [N][I%YR][PV][PMT][FV][OTHER]
         
						     Getting Started 2-3


        You will use this screen to solve your first financial problem 
        and, at the same time, learn some other very important concepts 
        or Rules of the Road.  The first has to do with the uses of the 
        vertical  cursor  keys [^] and [v].  When you  first  enter  this 
        screen,  the value of the number of payments is highlighted by  a 
        scroll  bar.  By pressing one of these vertical cursor keys,  you 
        will move the scroll bar to the next data entry field.  The [^]   
        key moves the scroll bar up in the screen.  The [v] key moves 
        the scroll bar down in the screen.  The procedure for solving any 
        screen  is  to place the scroll bar at each data entry  field  as 
        defined  in the screen; key in the appropriate value; and,  press 
        the  proper  solution softkey.  As an example:  suppose  you  are 
        about to take out a home loan in the amount of $75,000.  The term 
        of  the loan is 25 years and the annual interest rate  is  9.25%.  
        What  will be the monthly payment required to fully amortize  the 
        loan?
        
        The first five lines of this screen represent the five  variables 
        in  this  classic  problem: the number of  payments;  the  annual 
        interest  rate;  the  present value (initial  loan  amount);  the 
        periodic  (monthly, in this case) payment; and the  future  value 
        (balloon  payment, if any, at the end of the term of  the  loan).  
        The  procedure  for solving this problem is to use  the  vertical 
        cursor keys to move the scroll bar to each line for which you know 
        information  and  key in the information that  you  know.   Then, 
        press  the  softkey that is labeled with the  variable  that  you 
        don't know.  That unknown value will be computed and displayed at 
        the proper line of the screen.
        
        For  this example, key in 300 (the number of months in 25  years) 
        in the top line; move the scroll bar to the Annual interest  line 
        and key in 9.25; move to the Pr. value line and key in 75000; use 
        the scroll bar to skip over the Payment line and key in 0.00  (if 
        it's not already zero) in the Fu value line.
        
             ==> NOTE:Pressing [ENTER] after keying each known
                 value will cause that value to be entered and 
                 the scroll bar will drop to the next input line.
        
        The last two lines of the screen represent parameters that will 
        affect  the  solution of the problem, but ones  that  you  cannot 
        solve  for.   The first is the number of payments that  you  will 
        make  per  year;  in this case 12.  The last line  is  where  you 
        indicate  whether payments are to be made at the beginning or  at 
        the end of each period.  To see how you make this selection, move 
        the  scroll bar to the last line in the screen.  Notice  that  to 
        the right of the colon in this line of the display there is a ">" 
        symbol.  Whenever this symbol appears in a screen line, it is  an 
        indication   that  you  have  a  restricted  choice  of   options 
        available.   To  see  the choices, press one  of  the  horizontal 
        cursor  keys.  You will scroll horizontally through the  list  of 
        choices.  In this case there are only two choices: Begin or  End.  
        For this example choose End.

						     Getting Started 2-4


	This  is  another  rule  of the road.   Select  from  a  list  of
        restricted choices (a line with a ">" symbol) by using one of the 
        horizontal cursor keys [right-shift] or [left-shift].
        Properly filled out, your screen should now look like:
        
                       No. of payments:  300
                       Annual int.:  9.250 %
                       Pr. value: 75000.00
                       Payment:       0.00
                       Fu. value:     0.00
                       No. of pmts/yr:  12
                       Payment mode:  >End
        
                       [N][I%YR][PV][PMT][FV][OTHER]
         
        You are now ready to solve for the monthly payment.  Press the 
        [PMT] softkey.  The answer, -642.29, is shown in the payment line 
        of the screen.  [For now ignore the fact that the value is  shown 
        with  a  negative sign.  The reason for this  will  be  explained 
        later  in  this chapter.]  Thus, for the loan  in  question,  the 
        monthly payment will be $642.29.
        
        GLOBAL TOP-ROW KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS  
        
        In addition to the six softkeys whose functions change  depending 
        on  the screen that is active, there are three Global  Keys  that 
        you  access with the gold shift key and three of the keys in  the 
        top row.  They are the keystrokes [left-shift] [A], [right-shift]    
        [D], and [left-shift][F].  the functions they perform are [ESC], 
        [PRINT], and [MAIN], respectively.  These functions are 
        described briefly below:
        
        [ESC] - [left-shift][A]  The [ESC] (Escape) functions may only be 
        executed  from a SCREEN.  When you are in a screen and you  press 
        [ESC]  -  ([left-shift][A]),  control of  the  system  is  passed 
        temporarily from the Library to the operating system of the 48SX.  
        In  addition,  the numerical value of the screen  at  the  screen 
        cursor  location is loaded in the operational stack at  level  1.  
        The word "HALT" appears in the annunciator line at the top of the 
        screen to indicate that a running program has been halted. 
        Thus, it is now possible for you to perform any calculations that 
        you want in the stack, including calculations on the value that 
        has been returned.  This can be either manually from the keyboard 
        or  via  other software routines which you may have  written  and 
        loaded into the system memory.  When you are finished and wish to 
        return to the Financial Functions Library, press [left-shift] 
        [CONT].  You  will  return  to the  screen  you  were  in  before 
        executing  [ESC].   When  you return, the  value  at  the  cursor 
        location is replaced by the value in level 1 of the stack.
        
        [PRINT]  - [left-shift][D].  The [PRINT] function will allow  you 
        to  print the current contents of the screen onto  the  HP-82240B 
        Infrared Printer.  This function may be accessed from any  screen 

						     Getting Started 2-5



	or  menu in the Financial Functions Library at any time that  you
        want a hard copy of your work.
        
        [MAIN] - [left-shift][F].  The [MAIN] function will allow you to 
        return  to  the MAIN MENU from any other menu or  screen  in  the 
        Financial  Functions  Library.   It  is  a  shortcut  method   of 
        returning to the Main Menu "home base" without pressing [EXIT] 
        repeatedly as described above.
        
        
        CASH FLOW DIAGRAMS AND SIGN CONVENTIONS
        
        In  solving many time value of money problems, it is  helpful  to 
        draw  a cash flow diagram.  A cash flow diagram is an  horizontal 
        line  that  represents the passage of time  with  equally  spaced 
        points along the line where cash transactions occur (cash flows).  
        Vertical  lines with arrows indicate the relative  magnitude  and 
        directions  of  the  cash flows.  Money received  is  shown  with 
        upward facing arrows; money paid out with downward facing arrows.  
        A cash flow diagram of the above sample problem is shown here:
        
                 loan (+)                 
                   ^                              1
                   |                              month
                   |                              payment  
                   |                              interval 
                   |                              ->|  |<- 
                   |                                |  |   
                -----------------------|  |----------------------                             
                      |  |  |  |  |  |     |  |  |  |  |  |  |
                      |  |  |  |  |  |     |  |  |  |  |  |  |
                      v  v  v  v  v  v     v  v  v  v  v  v  v
                    
                      <<---------  300 payments(-) --------->>
        
        This explains why the value computed for the payment in the above 
        example,  -642.29  is shown with a negative  sign.   The  present 
        value,  $75,000,  flowed  to  you,the  borrower.   The  payments, 
        $642.29, flowed from you.
        
             ==> NOTE: The use of the correct sign ( + or - ) 
                 for values in time value of money problems is
                 critical. The calculations will only be correct
                 if care is taken in setting up the problem with
                 the proper sign (direction) of each cash flow.
                 Problems may be set up and solutions generated
                 from the point of view of the lender or the borrower,
                 but the viewpoint must be consistent throughout 
                 the working of the problem.

			     3. TIME VALUE OF MONEY
        
             ======================================================
        
                       In this chapter, you will study the 
                       screens associated with the Time 
                       Value of Money capabilities of the 
                       Financial Functions Library.
        
        
        TIME VALUE OF MONEY
        
        Time  Value  of Money describes a class of  financial  cash  flow 
        problems where periodic financial transactions take place and the 
        money is working (i.e. earning compound interest) during the time 
        periods described by the problem.  In its most generalized  form, 
        a  time  value  of  money  problem  (sometimes  abbreviated  TVM) 
        consists  of an initial payment (the present value), a series  of 
        periodic  payments (the payments); and, a settlement at  the  end 
        (the future value).
        
        There are three conditions which must be met for your TVM problem 
        to  be  solved  with the TVM Screen of  the  Financial  Functions 
        Library:
        
         1) All periodic payments must be equal.
         2) All payment intervals must be equal. 
         3) The payment periods must correspond to the 
            compounding periods.
        
             ==> NOTE: Problems for which the periodic payment
                 amounts vary may be solved in the Cash Flow Screen.
        
        The problem consists of five variables, three of which are listed 
        above.   The other two variables are the periodic  interest  rate 
        and the total number of periodic payments.  If any four of these 
        variables  are known, the Financial Functions Library will  solve 
        for the unknown one.
        
        There are numerous practical situations that  fit the constraints 
        of  this solution.  Several of them are described and  solved  in 
        the example problems which follow.  Each problem will be stated; 
        the  cash  flow diagram will be shown; the Time  Value  of  Money 
        Screen  will be shown properly set up for the solution; and,  the 
        solution will be given.
        
        EXAMPLE #1 - A SAVINGS ACCOUNT
        
        The  problem: You open a savings account with $100. You  plan  to 
        deposit $50/month on a regular basis.  The annual interest rate 
        is 6.75%.  How much money will you have after two years?  
        How long will it take you to save $2000?

        Your  company  traditionally  pays $50,000 in  dividends  to  its 
        shareholders annually.  To meet this cash requirement, the board

        interest bearing account.  You can set up a sinking fund at 9.5% 
        interest.  How much cash will you have to set aside in the fund 
        each quarter to meet this annual cash requirement.

        years 1992 through 1999.
        
        To begin the amortization calculation process, you should key in 
        the cash flow information into the Time Value of Money Screen  as

	To  determine the amortization data for 1993, it is necessary  to
        start with the status of the loan at the end of 1992.  There will 
        be  three payments made in 1991 and another twelve in 1992.   The 
        status of the loan at the end of 1992 will be at the end of 15

        Now, to determine the amortization data for 1993, key 12 into 
        the Payments line and press [NEXT] to solve for the  amortization 
        data  for  the next 12 payments.  The results are  shown  in  the

        As you can see, during 1993 you will pay $6805.92 in interest 
        and $901.51 toward reducing the principal of the loan.
        
        Now, to print the amortization table for the years 1992 through 
        1999,  you  need  to  press  [TABLE].   You  will  now  see   the 
        Amortization Table Screen.  Fill it out as shown below:

				    4. MARKUP
        
                   ===========================================
        
                       In this chapter, you will study the 
                       screens associated with the Markup 
                       capabilities of the Financial Functions 
                       Library.
        
        MARKUPS AND DISCOUNTS
        
        The  four  screens  in the Markup Menu can  be  used  to  compute 
        markups  or discounts based either on price or on cost.   Two  of 
        these  screens  will also allow you to  compute  percentages  and 
        percents  of change.  In each of these screens, there  are  three 
        variables.   The process of solving a problem is similar in  each 
        case.  Use the cursor keys to move around the screen to highlight 
        the  fields of data that you know.  Then key in the  known  data.  
        When you have all of the known data keyed into the screen,  press 
        the  softkey  associated with the unknown value, and  that  value 
        will be computed and loaded into the screen in the proper field.
        
        EXAMPLE #1 - MARKUP BASED ON COST
        
        
        The  problem: You own a business where you typically markup  your 
        goods by 18% for resale.  An item costs you $24.95.  For how much 
        should you price it?
        
        From  the Main Menu, press [H] for the Markup Menu.   Then  press 
        [G] for the Markup on Cost Screen.  Fill out the screen as  shown 
        below and press [PRICE].  The solution is: $29.44.

        EXAMPLE #2 - DISCOUNT BASED ON PRICE
        
        The problem: You are a manufacturing company that provides its 
        dealers products at a 30% discount from manufacturer's  suggested 
        list  price.  You have a new product that, based on  your  costs, 
        you  need  to generate $275.00 in revenue.   Given  you  discount 
        policy, how should you price this product?
        
        From the Main Menu, press [H] for the Markup Menu.  Then, 
        press [H] for the Markup on Pice Screen.  Fill out the screen as 
        shown below and press [PRICE].  The solution is: $392.86.

        EXAMPLE #3 - PERCENT CHANGE
        
        The problem: You have bought some common stock for  $25.25/share.  
        You  would like to sell it if it increases in value by  at  least 
        20%.   At what price should you place your sell order  with  your 
        broker?
        
        From  the Main Menu, press [H] for the Markup Menu.  Then,  press 
        [I] for the Percent Change Screen.  Fill out the screen as  shown 
        below and press [NEW].  The solution is: $30.30 or $30 3/8.
        
                            Percent Change
                         Old: 25.25

        EXAMPLE #4 - PERCENT OF TOTAL
        
        The problem: You company makes three products that generated  the 
        following revenue amounts for the 2nd quarter:
        
         Product 1 $38,514
         Product 2 $47,427
         Product 3 $11,250
        
        To what percentage of total revenue does each product contribute?
        
        From  the Main Menu, press [H] for the Markup Menu.  Then,  press 
        [J]  for  the Percent of Total Screen.  Move the  cursor  to  the 
        Total  line  and  press [left-shift]  [A].   This  will  transfer 
        control  to the 48's operating system so that you can add up  the 
        three revenues and compute the total.  Key in each value into the 
        stack and press [+] in turn.  The total is $97,191.00.  Now press 
        [left-shift][CONT].   The  system will return to the  Percent  of 
        Total Screen, and the total amount will be loaded into the  Total 
        line. Fill out the Part line with the first product's revenue  as 
        shown  in  the screen below and press [%TOTL].  The  solution  is 
        39.627%.
        
                            Percent of Total
                       Total:    97191.00

			      5. CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
        
                ================================================
        
                       In this chapter, you will study the 
                        screens associated with the Cash 
                        Flow Analysis capabilities of the 
                          Financial Functions Library.
        
        CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
        
        Cash  flow  analysis deals with a class of  financial  situations 
        where periodic financial transactions (cash flows) take place and 
        the  money is earning compound interest during the  time  periods 
        described by the problem.  In this regard, generalized cash flow 
        analysis  is like the Time Value of Money problems  described  in 
        Chapter  3  of  this  manual.  However,  while  the  TVM  screens 
        required  all of the periodic cash flows (PMTs) to be equal,  the 
        Cash  Flow  Analysis screens are ideally  suited  for  situations 
        where the cash flow amounts may vary from one period to the next.
        
        The remaining two constraints of the TVM Screens still apply: 
        namely,  that  the  periods must be equal and  that  the  payment 
        periods must correspond to the compounding periods.
        
	==>  NOTE: Problems for which the periodic payment
             amounts are the same may be solved in the Time Value
             of Money Screen.
        
        THE GENERAL APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM
        
        Since the cash flows may be unequal and in any amount, the  first 
        step in the process of doing a cash flow analysis is to list  the 
        cash flows in a way that the Financial Functions Library can deal 
        with them.  This is called a Cash Flow List, and it is  described 
        in detail in the next section.  
        
        Once the list is created, there are several computations that the 
        Financial  Functions Library Screen can do for you.  By  pressing 
        the [SOLVE] key, you can compute the Total of the cash flows, and 
        the  Net Present Value (NPV), the Net Uniform Series  (NUS),  and 
        the  Net  Future  Value (NFV) of the cash  flow  list.   Also  by 
        pressing  [IRR%],  you can compute the Internal  Rate  of  Return 
        (IRR) of the cash flow list.
        
        THE CASH FLOW LIST
        
        Unequal  cash  flows can occur in either of two ways,  random  or 
        grouped.  As the name implies, random cash flows are truly random 
        and  can occur in any amount for any period.  On the other  hand, 
        grouped  cash  flows have the characteristic that the  same  cash 
        flow  amount  occurs repeatedly for a certain number  of  periods

	before the amount changes.  These two situations are  illustrated
        by the cash flow diagrams shown below:
        
        Random cash flows:

        random, grouped or a combination of the two.

        This is an example of grouped cash flows.  First, return to the 
        Cash  Flow List Menu and press [H] to clear the existing  payment 
        list.  (Respond [Y] to the prompt).  You have stored it under the 
        name  "FLOW1" so that you will be able to recall it later.   Now, 
        press  [G]  to enter the new list.  The first element will  be  -
        10000  as before.  Press [ENTER].  Next key in 160  to  represent 
        the next cash flow amount.  However, since this is an amount that 
        is  repeated 12 times (monthly), you can indicate this by  adding 
        the  number  12 in parentheses after the cash flow  amount.   The 
        parenthesis  symbol is the gold shifted function above  the  [()] 
        key.  However, it is not necessary to press the shift key to  key 
        in  the parenthesis symbol. Press: [1] [6] [0] [()] [1] [2]  [()] 
        [ENTER].  Repeat  this  process for the  remaining  grouped  cash 
        flows.  When properly filled out, your list should look like:

        Now  store this under the name "FLOW2" as before.  From the  Cash 
        Flow  List  Menu  press [I]; key in the name  FLOW2;  and,  press 
        [ENTER].


        CASH FLOW ANALYIS OF THE TWO EXAMPLES
        
        The  objective now is to perform a cash flow analysis of the  two 
        investments  in  order to determine which one is  preferable.  To 
        begin, press [J] from the Cash Flow List Menu to see a listing of 
        the names of all of the cash flow lists that you have created. 
        Using  the vertical cursor keys, move the scroll bar to the  list 
        "FLOW1"   and press [SELCT].  Press [EXIT] to return to the  Cash 
        Flow  Screen.   Now,  with  this  list  active,  there  are   two 
        calculations that you may do.  You may specify an assumed  annual 
        interest  rate  and  compute the  Total of cash  flows,  the  Net 
        Present  Value (NPV), the Net Uniform Series (NUS), and  the  Net 
        Future Value(NFV) of this cash flow.  Assume an interest rate  of 
        9%  and do this.  Key in 9 into the top line of the  display  and 
        press  [SOLVE].   The Financial Functions  Library  will  compute 
        these  four  values and return them to the proper  lines  of  the 
        display.   You  may also press [IRR%].  The  Financial  Functions 
        Library  will compute the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for  this 
        investment  and  return the answer to its line  in  the  display.  
        This  value does not depend on the value of the assumed  interest 
        rate.  When you have performed both of these tasks, the Cash Flow 
        Screen should look like:
        
                            Cash Flow
                       Interest rate: 9.000 %
                       Total:       4000.00
                       NPV  :        990.76
                       NUS  :        305.82
                       NFV  :       1398.54
                       IRR% :        12.826
        
                       [SOLVE][IRR%]  [LIST]  [EXIT] 
         
        Next,  you can return to the Cash Flow List Menu and  recall  the 
        list  "FLOW2" to active status.  Return to the Cash  Flow  Screen 
        and  repeat  the calculations used above.  However, you  must  be 
        careful  in  selecting the assumed interest  rate.   The  assumed 
        interest  rate  in the previous example was 9.00%.  This  was  an 
        annual amount because the cash flows were on an annual basis.  
        The interest rates required in the Cash Flow Screen are periodic 
        rates, not necessarily annual rates.  Since the cash flows occur 
        on  a monthly basis, the assumed rate for this screen  should  be 
        0.75% (9/12%), .  Key in .75 into the top line and press [SOLVE].  
        Then press [IRR%].  When all of this has been done properly,  the 
        resultant screen will look like:
        


							   Cash Flow 5-5



                            Cash Flow
                       Interest rate: 0.750 %
                       Total:       3560.00
                       NPV  :        992.30
                       NUS  :         24.69
                       NFV  :       1420.39
                       IRR% :         1.102
        
                       [SOLVE][IRR%]  [LIST]  [EXIT] 
         
        Again,  the value of IRR is based on a periodic  (monthly)  rate.  
        To get the annual rate, multiply by 12.  This gives 13.224%.   It 
        is  clear  from  this  analysis  that,  even  though  the   first 
        investment  results  in  a greater cash flow  total,  the  second 
        investment generates a higher yield.

                          6. INTEREST RATE CONVERSIONS
                ================================================
        
                       In this chapter, you will study the 
                      screens associated with the Interest 
                       Rate Conversion capabilities of the 
                          Financial Functions Library.
        
        INTEREST RATES - SOME BACKGROUND
        
        When  you  invest  money, you should be very  interested  in  the 
        interest  rate that investment provides.  That interest,  usually 
        expressed  as  a percent, is the amount that the  money  invested 
        will  return to you over and above the principal amount  invested 
        after some standard time period (usually one year).  Thus, if you 
        invest $100 at an annual interest rate of 10%, you can expect  to 
        receive  $110  back  at  the  end  of  one  year.   This  example 
        represents a situation known as simple interest.  
        
        However,  many investments do not require you to wait  an  entire 
        year  before you receive some of your earnings.  In the  previous 
        example, after only one month, your investment should have earned 
        $0.83 (1/12 of $10).  At that time, you may be presented with the 
        choice  of  collecting  your  $0.83 or having  it  added  to  the 
        principal, so that you would now have $100.83 earning interest.  
        Then,  after  the next month, you will have earned  $0.84.   This 
        process of periodically adding earnings to the principal is known 
        as  compounding.   In  this  example,  the  investment  pays  10% 
        interest compounded monthly or 12 times/year.
        
        Often  it is desired to know what the effective interest rate  is 
        for  a  given  compounding  situation.   In  fact,  many  banking 
        institutions are required, by law, to provide this information to 
        their  depositors.  Effective interest is the  equivalent  simple 
        interest  that would result in the same earnings being  generated 
        by  the  given deposit.  It is always higher than the  stated  or 
        nominal interest.
        
        There  are  well defined mathematical relationships  between  the 
        nominal  and effective interest rates based on the rate  and  the 
        compounding frequency or number of compounding periods per  year.  
        As you might imagine, the more compounding periods in a year, the 
        higher  the  effective interest rate.  Compounding  can  even  be 
        taken to its extreme limit, continuous compounding. The Financial 
        Functions  Library provides the ability to do  these  conversions 
        quickly and easily.
        
        EXAMPLE 
        
        The problem: What is the effective interest rate for a nominal 
        interest rate of 9.5% compounded quarterly?, monthly?, 
        continuously?

        From the Main Menu, press [J] for the Interest Rate Conversion 
        Screen.  Fill out the screen as shown below and press [EFF%].  
        The answer is given in the Effect. int. line.  It is 9.844%.

        For  the second part, change the Compounding periods/yr to 12  as 
        shown and press [EFF%] again.  The answer this time is 9.925%.

                       Library.
        
        DEPRECIATION BASICS 
        
        The depreciation capabilities of the Financial Functions  Library 
        allow  you to compute the value for the depreciation of an  asset 
        for any year of a scheduled depreciation over several years.  The 
        Library   supports   three   different   methods   of   computing 
        depreciation.  They are:
        
              Straight Line
             Declining Balance
             Sum-of-the-Years' Digits
        
        These methods require that the cost basis, the salvage value and 
        the expected life be known.  In addition, the Declining Balance 
        method requires that the declining balance factor, expressed as a 
        percentage, also be known.
        
        EXAMPLE 
        
        Your  company  has  purchased  a piece  of  equipment  that  cost 
        $125,000 and has a useful life of 10 years.  The salvage value at 
        the end of its life will be $2000.  What will be the depreciated 
        amount in the 4th year of ownership using each of the methods.  
        For the declining balance method, assume a declining balance 
        factor of 200% (double declining balance).

				   APPENDIX A
                ================================================
        
                 This Appendix provides the formulas used in the 
                 TDS Financial Functions Library for your reference.
        
        TIME VALUE of money FORMULAS
        
        In  Time  Value of Money Calculations, there are  four  actuarial 
        functions which are used:
        
        The Single Payment Present Value Function (SPPV)
        
              SPPV(i,n) = (1 + i)^(-n)  [where i is the periodic interest 
        rate expressed as a fraction, and n is the number of  compounding 
        periods].
        
        The Single Payment Future Value Function (SPFV)
        
              SPFV(i,n)  =  (1 + i)^n  [where i is the  periodic interest 
        rate expressed as a fraction, and n is the number of  compounding 
        periods].
        
        The Uniform Series Present Value Function (USPV)
        
             USPV(i,n) = (1 - (1 + i)^(-n)) / i  [where i is the periodic 
        interest  rate  expressed as a fraction, and n is the  number  of 
        compounding periods].
        
        The Uniform Series Future Value Function (USFV)
        
              USFV(i,n)  = ((1 + i)^n - 1) / i  [where i is the  periodic 
        interest  rate  expressed as a fraction, and n is the  number  of 
        compounding periods].
        
        The Time Value of money equation is:
        
        PV + (1 + i x) * PMT * USPV(i,n) + FV * SPPV(i,n) = 0 
        [where i is the periodic interest rate expressed as a fraction; n 
        is the number of compounding periods; PV is the present value; 
        FV  is the future value; PMT is the periodic payment; and,  x  is 
        the payment mode factor (0 for END or 1 for BEGIN mode)].
        
        This equation requires that four of the five variables are known.  
        It is then solved for the unknown value.
        
        MARKUP FORMULAS
        
        Markup based on cost:
        
              MUc = (price - cost) / cost
        
        Markup based on price:
        
							    Appendix A-1


              MUp = (price - cost) / price
        
        Percent change
        
              %Change = (new - old) / old * 100
        
        Percent of total
        
              %of total = part / total * 100
        
        
        CASH FLOW FORMULAS
        
        Net Present Value:
                        k
         NPV = CF0 + SUMMATION (CFj * USPV(i,nj) * SPPV(i,Nj))
                       j=1
        
        [where  CFj is the cash flow for the jth group; nj is the  number 
        of times that the cash flow appears in the jth group; and, 
        
               j - 1
        Nj = SUMMATION nm]
                m=1
        
                                                    k
              NFV = NPV . SPFV(i,N)  [where N = SUMMATION nm   
                                                    m=1
        and where k is the number of the last group.]
        
        NUS = NPV/(USPV(i,N)).
        
        To  solve for IRR, set the NPV = 0 in the NPV formula  and  solve 
        for i.
        
        INTEREST RATE CONVERSION FORMULAS
        
        For periodic compounding:
        
         eff = ((1 + nom / p)^p -1)  [where eff is the effective rate; nom 
        is the nominal rate (both expressed as a fraction); and, p is the 
        number of compounding periods per year].
        
        For continuous compounding:
        
         eff = e^nom -1.
        
        
        DEPRECIATION FORMULAS
        
        Straight line:
        
         SL = (Basis - Salv)/Life  [where Basis is the basis, Salv is the 

							    Appendix A-2



	salvage value; and, Life is the life in years].
        
        
        Declining Balance:
        
              DB  = ((Basis * fact)*(1 - fact / Life)^(yr#-1))/Life   [where 
        fact is the declining balance factor expressed as a fraction  and 
        yr# is the number of the year for which the depreciation is to be 
        computed].
        
        Sum-of-the Years' Digits:
        
        SOYD = (Basis - Salv) * (Life - yr# + 1) / (Life * (Life + 1) / 2)

              =====================================================
        
                  Downloading the Financial Functions Library 
                  software to the HP-48SX.
        
        Each  TDS memory card comes with the Financial Functions  Library 
        software recorded in the RAM card. A copy of the library is  also 
        stored  on the disk which came with the product. Should you  ever 
        lose the library in your HP-48SX, you can download it back to the 
        HP-48SX  from an IBM PC compatible computer. The following  three 
        files  are  pertient  for  downloading  the  Financial  Functions 
        Library to your HP-48SX:
        
             KERMIT.EXE     - the data transfer program.
             FIN1           - library number 804.
             FIN2           - library number 805.
        
        Downloading procedure from the floppy disk.
        
        1).  Insert the floppy disk in your floppy drive and at  the  DOS 
        prompt, type [A] [:] [Return].
        
        2). Plug in your HP-48SX into either Port1 or Port2 of your PC.
        
        Next, you need to set up your HP-48SX to receive the library from 
        your PC with the proper communication parameters.
        
        3). Press [left-shift] [I/O]. Then press [SETUP]. The screen will 
        appear as:
                            I/O setup menu

        If the values of the parameters in the screen are not as shown on 
        the  right hand side of the illustration above, you should  press 
        the softkeys associated with the parameters for which the  values 
        are  different  than those shown. This will allow you  to  scroll 
        through the various choices until the values match those as shown 
        above.  For  example,  if the baud is shown as  1200,  press  the 
	[BAUD]  softkey three times will set the baud to 9600.
        
        4). On your PC, type KERMIT [Return]. The prompt will be  Kermit-
        MS>.
        
        5).  On your PC, type SET PORT 1 (or 2 depending on the  port  on 
        your PC in which you have your cable connected) [Return].
