Welcome to the hp 17bII+
The hp 17bII+ is part of Hewlett-Packard’s new generation of calculators:
„ The two-line display has space for messages, prompts, and labels.
„ Menus and messages show you options and guide you through problems.
„ Built-in applications solve these business and financial tasks:
„ Time Value of Money. For loans, savings, leasing, and amortization.
„ Interest Conversions. Between nominal and effective rates.
„ Cash Flows. Discounted cash flows for calculating net present value
and internal rate of return.
„ Bonds. Price or yield on any date. Annual or semi-annual coupons;
30/360 or actual/actual calendar.
„ Depreciation. Using methods of straight line, declining balance,
sum-of-the-years’ digits, and accelerated cost recovery system.
„ Business Percentages. Percent change, percent total, markup.
„ Currency Exchange. Exchange calculations between two currencies.
„ Statistics. Mean, correlation coefficient, linear estimates, and other
statistical calculations.
„ Clock. Time, date, and appointments.
„ Use the Solver for problems that aren’t built in: type an equation and then
solve for any unknown value. It’s easier than programming!
„ There are 28K bytes of memory to store data, lists, and equations.
„ You can print information using the hp 82240 Infrared Printer.
„ You can choose either ALG (Algebraic) or RPN (Reverse Polish Notation)
entry logic for your calculations.
