SR-56 Sinking Fund Program - Interest Rate Unknown

Back to main page


This program is taken from the SR-56 Applications Book, by Texas Instruments.

This will solve for the periodic interest rate given the N, FV, and PMT components of the Time Value of Money equation. This program deals with problems that have a future value in them rather than a present value.
Remember: The periodic interest rate is NOT the annual rate. For TVM problems involving a present value, see: SR-56 Present Values

Instructions:
1) Clear memories. 2nd Cms.
2) Load known values (you need to enter three of these) into data memories. Future Value STO 2, Payment per period, STO 3, Number of periods STO 4.
3) Calculate the periodic interest rate by pressing RST, R/S. The rate is automatically calculated and displayed.
