Default ba ii plus calculator help

hello, I am not sure how to input the following into the calculator to get the correct answer,

if i have 7000 a angle 10 and i is 7%, how can i put into the calculator to get the correct result of 49165.

i input N = 10, I = 7, PMT = -7000 and the result for present value is not 49165.

Can anyone explain?

Thanks!!

Try again. Make sure your calculator is sent to END, not BGN, and make sure you cleared your future value (or entered zero). I got the correct answer.
