Financial calculator

AArishka10y ago
Hi Can I use my financial calculator for pv computations and macauly calculation etc. Will I still obtain the marks if I show what my input variable were ? Thank you for the assistance.

You must show the workings in the exam - it is the workings that get the marks rather than the final answer.

eg if for an interest calc I show the following : Pv = -1079 Fv= 1000 Pmt=60 n=5 and then I show compute i= and the answer Will i get marks for the above ?

No - not full marks. You need to prove to the marker that you know what you are doing and not just letting a calculator do it for you :-)
