The ENT and COMP symbols

Listed ﬁnancial variables are categorized by whether they are known or unknown. When the variable is selected (displayed), the “ENT” and/or “COMP” symbols will appear to indicate that the current variable may be entered (known variable) and/or calculated (unknown variable), respectively. For details, refer to the explanations or examples for each ﬁnancial function.

Note: TVM variables (N, I/Y, PV, PMT and FV) can be entered (known variables) and calculated (unknown variables), however, neither “ENT” nor “COMP” will appear on the display.
