The program listed below provides several useful business functions for the HP-65 calculator. It was originally written by C.W. Burt and J.J. Reymond (My thanks to them wherever they are today).

It provides Percent, Percent of Sum, Mean, Standard Deviation, and Future Value of a Compound Amount. All in 99 program steps! Several examples are given below.


To compute the Mean and Standard Dev. of 100, 80, 90, and 95:
1. Press E to initialize.
2. Key 100 R/S, (See 1 displayed), Key 80 R/S, (See 2 displayed, etc.), Key 90 R/S, Key 95 R/S.
3. To correct an entry, enter the value and press RTN R/S.
4. To compute the Mean, Press C. See 91.25.
5. To compute the Standard Deviation, Press RTN C. See 7.40

To find X% of Y: What is 10% of 50, 1. Press E to initialize.
2. Key 50, ENTER, 10, D. See 5 displayed.

To find the percent of a total (or sum): What percent of 250 is 80? 1. Press E to initialize.
2. Key 250, ENTER, 80, RTN, R/S. See 32 displayed.

To find the future value of a compounded amount: What is the amount in a savings account if you deposit $1500 today at 8% compounded quarterly for 10 years?

1. Press E to initialize.
2. Enter interest rate of 2% (8 divided by 4): 2, RTN, A
3. Enter present value of $1500: 1500, RTN, B
4. Enter number of periods and compute future value: 10 years times 4 periods per year: 40, A. See 3312.06 displayed.


Program Listing. This program was really a remarkable achievement, given the space limitations of the HP-65. Here's the program. f-1 is the HP-65 "Inverse" prefix key. f is the yellow prefix key. I've provided the key codes that show up in program memory, especially since the HP-65 doesn't show the program step number in the display. Lines 71 and 72 will show up as keycodes 35 and 05. Notice how RCL 1 is a merged step, but STO - 3 takes three steps!
