The answers are correct from my assignment using the provided tables in my practical business math procedures book. But, book doesnt show how you translate the problem using a calculator.

Thanks
 
Before I go any further, I'd like to make the clarification that i might not understand the question all that well. The way I understand it is that your book with exercises has a table that can be interpreted for the answers in some way or the other, but you need to calculate those with a calculator, a BAII plus. Is that correct?

If so, you can find a number of instructional videos at http://www.atomiclearning.com/k12/en/ti_ba2. I personally don't have enough experience with an accounting calculator to be of much more use unfortunately.

Learn how to use the BAII Plus calculator.

Do you have the User Guide for this calculator? Click HERE to download the latest electronic copy from Texas Instruments' web site (PDF file).

I checked out the "Future Value" video at the AtomicLearning link provided by nzall. The video instructions are well-done, although the actual process of using the calculator seemed clumsy.
 
Yes, the book contains tables that represent int rate and periods (Table 13-1 amt of annuity, 13-2 pv of annuity, 13-2 sinking fund value) but the assignment which I got right are only reflected with what the tables offer not what the calculation would be with the calculator.

I have figured out how to calculate PV/FV for comp val and pv for the previous chapter both using the table and calculator. Thus the answers are relatively close but in tryin to figure out the other chapter 13, my numbers are not even close.
 
attempted to look at the videos from the provided link but you must register and there doesnt seem to be a link to establish an acct so i emailed the company
 
I watched a video without registering. Maybe that was a freebie.

Regarding the book, I'm talking about the User Guide published by Texas Instruments that comes with the calculator when you buy it. I'm not talking about any course materials that you may have received. (There is no table 13-1 in this book.)

In other words, the User Guide is the same as an owner's manual. It explains how to use the calculator. I provided you with a link for the most-current PDF version of the User Guide.
