Hi there,
To calculate present value you need to type in all the other missing values and then press COMP and PV.
For example: if the future value is R5000, the interest is 12% p.a. compounded monthly and it paid over 3 years.
Type in 5000 and press FV
type in 12 and I/Y
Press 2nd F and I/Y and make sure P/Y says 12 (for 12 payments per year).
Press ON
press 3 press 2nd F N and then press N again (for 36 payments in total). Make sure your screen says ANS -> N otherwise the calculation will not work.
Now if if your payments are 0 (in other words you are not making monthly payments) then press 0 and PMT,
Otherwise, if you are making monthly payments for e.g. R200 a month, type in +/- 200 PMT.
Now calculate your original amount by pressing COMP PV.
If you made no payments your original amount should be -3494.62
And if you chose to add payments your original amount should be
2 526.88.
