BA II Plus vs. BA 35

[Funshine Bear]

Anyone know of a site or listing that has how to do things in their respective calculators? I'm not finding the instruction manual to be all that helpful.

Glenn - Maybe I am just not seeing something, but I'm having trouble doing with the interest conversion stuff. I can move from the effective interest to the nominal interest just fine. I figured out that one. But I can't find anything regarding effective discount or nominal discount conversions. Have you? Has anyone?

Thanks.

For discount, enter a negative number for the compounding periods.

Example on the BA-35
i = 5%, find d⁽³⁾.
Input 5 [2nd] [APR] -3 [=]
to get d⁽³⁾ = 4.8396%.

This trick doesn't seem to work on the BA II Plus. It gives you an error message if you try to enter a negative number for the C/Y.

I had figured out how to do that on the BA35, but was trying to figure out how to do it on the BA II Plus as well. I feel like I've read that booklet from start to finish and have yet to find instructions on how to do so.
