HP 10BII Quick Start Manual page 4

1.1 Default Settings
There are 3 defaults you need to use on the calculator:
•
set the beginning of year (BOY) or end of year (EOY) modes
•
clear the registers
•
set the number of digits displayed for calculation (significant places)
1.2 BOY and EOY Settings
The HP 10BII has the ability to make calculations contemplating receiving and making payments at the beginning of the
period or at the end of the period. In CRASH COURSE training we will assume that the investor receives the benefits of
all cash flows for the entire period. This is called the "end of year" setting (EOY). If you see the word "BEGIN" in your
display, it needs to be turned off, or set to end of year. If you do not see the word "BEGIN" in the display, the calculator is
set on end of year (EOY).

1.7 Set the Significant Places
On the HP 10BII calculator, changing the number of digits shown to the right of the decimal point will not affect the internal
iteration of the calculator. The calculator will always performs tasks and store digits up to 12 places. EXCEPTION: when
performing mortgage loan calculations (discussed later), the calculator will round to the number of places you have pre-
set in the calculator.
