Pressing :$or :ndisplays the number in the PV or n register. When you did so after each of the last two calculations, you may have noticed that PV and n had been changed from their original values.

But because of this, if you want to generate a new amortization schedule from the beginning, you must reset PV to its original value and reset n to 0.

For example, suppose you now wanted to generate an amortization schedule for each of the first two months:
