 • Pressing !1(TRACE) while a graph is on the display activates Trace, which can be used 
to look up other financial values. In the case of simple interest, for example, pressing e 
displays 
PV, SI, and SFV. Pressing d displays the same values in reverse sequence.
• While the graph screen is displayed, you can press !f(FORMAT) and then use the 
dialog box that appears to change the graph color. The color specification you make on this 
dialog box is also reflected by the “Graph Color” setting of the Setup screen. 
• Zoom, Scroll, and Sketch cannot be used in the Financial mode.
• Whether you should use a positive or a negative value for the present value (PV) or the 
purchase price (PRC) depends on the type of calculation you are trying to perform.
• Note that graphs should be used only for reference purposes when viewing Financial mode 
calculation results.
2. Simple Interest
 This calculator uses the following formulas to calculate simple interest.
u Formula
  
  365-day Mode   SI  : interest
    
n   :  number of interest periods
  360-day Mode   PV  : principal
    I  %  : annual interest 
    SFV  :  principal plus interest
  
  
  Press  1(SIMPLE) from the Financial 1 screen to display the following input screen for simple 
interest.
1(SIMPLE)
   n   ........... number of interest periods (days)
   I  %  ........ annual interest rate
   P V   ........ principal
  
  
  After configuring the parameters, use one of the function menus noted below to perform the 
corresponding calculation.
  • { SI } … {simple interest}
  • { SFV } … {simple future value}
