Hey, I have the Finance pkg. from TI, but there is no Net present value, or future val.

is there an add in, or app that I can use to add advanced finance functions?

Thanks.

I'm not too familiar with that package, but if you can't really find any, you need to look for programs besides TI itself, like in the TIcalc.org archives

Yes, I've looked there, I have seen a few people complain about the lack of NPV, but no program to use.

I have no idea how to write one, but it may be worth learning, it is not that complicated a formula, but can be long.

What kills me is it is available on the ti83/84. I bought the 89 because I expected the most options and functions.

Right now I carry two calculators, financial, and graphing, a bit of a pain.

Here's a function that will calculate npv():

Define npv(i,cf0,cflist)=cf0+Σ(cflist[j](1+i)^-j,j,1,dim(cflist))

This does not have the frequency list functionality of the TI-83 Plus npv( command. If you want to use frequency lists, you could do this (which is a good bit more complicated):

npv_f(i,cf0,cflist,freq)
Func
Local cumfreq
augment({0},cumSum(freq))->cumfreq
Return cf0+Σ(cflist[j](1+i)^-cumfreq[j](1-(1+i)^-freq[j])/i,j,1,dim(cflist))
EndFunc

Shouldn't that be (1+i)^-cumfreq[j], if we're going to follow the formula in the TI-83+ manual?

It should... typo!

And there was a point at which I invented a magic syntax for cumSum( that did what I wanted it to do, rather than what it's supposed to do. Also fixed.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
Does the cumfreq go in the original function?

I have put it in both ways, with it I get data type error, without It just displays what I have typed in. i.e.

finance\npv(10,0,200) returns the same thing with Done under it. I am a total Noob in this, so please don't hesitate to talk at a 5 yr old level, and thank you for your time.

Go to the finance folder, and enter the line that starts with "Define..." on the homescreen, this will create the function npv(. It should not have a "cumfreq".

Note, however, that the third argument is a list. So you would enter finance\npv(10,0,{200}). Or, you can use a list of several values.

You can also define the function using the program editor, in which case you would enter this:

npv(i,cf0,cflist)
:cf0+Σ(cflist[j](1+i)^-j,j,1,dim(cflist))


Or, more formally:

npv(i,cf0,cflist)
:Func
:Return cf0+Σ(cflist[j](1+i)^-j,j,1,dim(cflist))
:EndFunc


The second function I gave, npv_f, should be entered through the program editor.

Sucess!!! Thank you. results match the finance calc.

No more carrying two calcs. Hmm, what else can I add to this thing?

Thanks again for the help.

You might want to look for the book "Financial Numerical Recipes" if you're interested in extending the functionality of your TI 89 for finance-related calculations.
