Using Short-Cut Keys
If there are procedures and setting which you used frequently, the two
SHORTCUT
keys can help you reduce calculation time.
In the previous example, we calculated the monthly repayment of my wife’s car loan.
Suppose the financier always use this same set of values in calculating interest
except for the Principal (PV), i.e. Dys = 5 X 365 = 1825 days;
I
% = 3.3%
We can configure these values to
SHORTCUT
1
. We can also configure
SHORTCUT 2
to calculate the monthly repayment using ‘Ans
÷
60’ (60 being 5 X 12 months.)
Enter SMPL mode and input 1825 and 3.3 to [Dys] and [
I
%] respectively.
With [PV] selected, key in the following.
SHORTCUT 1
is configured and whenever you tap on it, the calculator will enter SMPL
mode with the above settings. Now assign the expression ‘Ans
÷
60’ to
SHORTCUT 2
.
Enter COMP mode and key in the following.
SHORTCUT 2
is assigned with ‘Ans
÷
60’, and calculation steps for this example
become very much shorter.
Example 1
►
>>
My wife takes out a 5-year car loan of RM 30,000 at the rate of
3.3%. She wants to know what her monthly repayment is.
Operation
Using
SHORTCUT 1
,
SHORTCUT 2
for the calculation
The output would be the same as Example 2 in
Simple Interest with SMPL Mode
.
