BAII plus over BA35 calculator

[SmartActuary]

I have BA II plus right now .Each and every manual gives calculator advice on BA35 .

When I try to do the Time Value Of Money with BAII, I am not able to get it right .

Please tell me Is there any benefit of BAII plus over BA35 .
I am thinking of buying a BA35 now .

Thanks

As to why the problems don't work out, the payments per year setting is the usual culprit. Check it as it defaults to 12.

I don't have a BA35, but do have a BAII plus and like it as much as one can like any of the legal calculator choices. It has parenthesis whereas I think the BA35 does not. Actuary.ca has collected electronic version of the manuals for most if not all the legal calculators. Follow the exam links at the top of the page and you can view the manuals to compare what each can do.

This has been covered to death - try doing a search.

Long story short, figure out how to do everything on you II+ and you'll be much better in the long run. It's a more powerful, more robust calculator and is still being produced - two advantages over the 35.

I agree, usually the C/Y is the culprit. Personally, I do everything with C/Y=1 and convert it myself so I never screw it up.
