Note: If you change the number in the n register in order to change an N
j
,
be sure to reset the number in the n register to the total number of cash flow
amounts originally entered (not including the amount of the initial investment
CF
0
). If this is not done, NPV and IRR calculations will give incorrect results.
Example 1: With the cash flows now stored in the calculator, change CF
2
from
$11,000 to $9,000, then calculate the new NPV for a 13 1 /
2
% return.

Bond Calculations
The hp 12c enables you to solve for bond price (and the interest accrued since the
last interest date) and the yield to maturity.
† The E and S calculations are
done assuming a semiannual coupon payment and using an actual/actual basis
(such as for U.S. Treasury bonds and U.S. Treasury notes). In accordance with
market convention, prices are based on a redemption (par) value of 100.
* This step is necessary in this example because we have calculated IRR since the first time we
calculated NPV. The IRR calculation replaced the 13.5 we keyed into i before calculating
NPV with the result for IRR – 13.72.
† All bond calculations are performed in accordance with. the Securities Industry Association’s
recommendations as contained in Spence, Graudenz, and Lynch, Standard Securities
Calculation Methods, Securities Industry Association, New York, 1973.
