Figure 1 Cash Flow Diagram Example with Corresponding TVM Keys

The TVM functions of the calculator can solve problems with at least one cash flow, and problems in which all the cash flows, except the first and last, are of the same value. To solve other types of cash flows, refer to the section below titled, Canadian Mortgages: TVM Canada, or Chapter 4, Cash Flows.

Figure 1 illustrates a cash flow diagram and how the data in the diagram corresponds to the TVM keys. For a complete list of keys used for TVM problems, along with their descriptions, see Table 3-1.
