How to Calculate Future Value and Present Value with BA II Plus Calculator by Texas Instruments

[miyuwuong]

Wow. After a full day of rereading my finance textbook trying to figure out how to use this calculator for these types of problems, I now fully understand how to do everything in under 4 minutes thanks to your video. Thank you so much!!

My lecturer was just crap with no visual explanation of how to use the financial calculator. Thank you, Ryan, for making life so

In case someone wonders why the heck they get a different result: N is the number of periods, but there is another setting C/Y (accessible via key P/Y and then down arrow) that sets the number of compounding periods per year. If this is not set to 1, your result won't match.

This was extremely helpful. Thank you! I just started a finance course and the instructor verbally explained how to calculate the future and present values but didn't go into as much detail as your video. You were thorough and walked us through it visually which helped me tremendously. I went from looking at this as a second language to better understanding what it all means.

extremely helpful, easy to follow, and understand. I searched and watched several other videos before coming across your video; I felt lost after each video, after watching your video just once, I am now doing assignment calculations with ease, on my own. Thank you

Thanks so much for this clearly presented tutorial. I'm retired now and studied business math ~50 years ago. We had to work our problems without the use of business calculators, using charts in our textbooks. Handheld business calculators were new things, very expensive and couldn't be used on tests. I've always been fascinated by the calculators and am learning to use my BAll Plus now, 'just for the heck of it'. 😊

Hello, I am taking finance and all the other videos I've watched just tell me the formula but not how to enter it. Your account is so helpful!!! Thank you so much! You make a difference.

This video saved me a headache. I didn't know that I was supposed to enter a payment($0) even though, the problem doesn't have one. I kept getting the wrong answer. Thank you so much for showing us EXACTLY what and how to enter the numbers. I have subscribed to your channel.

Method of explanation was really easy! Now concepts are much clearer!!!

Step 1 for the beginner beginning a journey at finance. Well done sir! Thank you! Simple and to the point. Spot on.

[abhishekpatel]

thank you, this video was better than the answers from ChatGpt and various other textbooks

[noellejacobs]

Thank you so much! The pervious video I was watching left out the step where you press "compute" which caused me to be completely lost and unable to complete the problem. You were extremely helpful!

[lilaidsHD]

Thanks. Couldn't understand how to use this and now that I watched this it's so simple.

[hormazbobinmaker]

Thank you, I have an exam tomorrow & this really helped.

[kelera]

Simple and Easy. Downloaded a FC but didn't know how to use it. This video helped me alot and will come in handy this semester

[Standbyualways]

Thank you for the tip on how to verify that everything clears out! You're appreciated!

[newbieblio]

Currently watching this video to practice with my own calculator for a finance exam, and you explained how to do this better in 3 mins compared to my professor. You just got another subscriber!

[sidkings]

Much appreciated Ryan. I got my calculator today, just getting to grips with it. Very useful video cheers.

[Alenezi]

God bless you dude I have an exam next week, and you just showed up. keep it up.

[wiyaoboukpessi]

Thank you so much. I have to take a finance class & this is the first time I'm using a financial calculator. I didn't know how to use it in class & I just decided to solve the problems using the equations while my classmates got the answers so fast on their calculators.
