Weighted Average The weighted average uses the statistic registers and leaves avg(y) weighted by x in y, and avg(x) weighted by y in x: Lbl 0 -so that it coincides in the same key as avg(x) rcl 7 rcl / 3 rcl 7 rcl / 5 rtn NPV and IRR The Net Present Value and IRR are a little longer. Requires 11 registers and is valid for up to 10 periods. Data is not destroyed and can be used with other interest rates. I take care of not using labels used by TVM! Net Present Value: It takes the following arguments: Number of periods: register .1 Initial cashflow: register 0 cashflows for periods 1 to 9: registers 1 to 9 (how clever ;-)) discount rate in %: register x NPV result: register x LBL 1 EEX 2 - from % to decimal / 1 + 1/x - calculate 1/(1+i) ENTER ENTER ENTER - to load the stack with 1/(1+i) RCL .1 - number of periods (so that is is kept for further trials with other interest rates) STO I CLX LBL .2 - loop for periods RCL + (I) X - calculates f(n) = (f(n-1)+ I(n))/(1+i) DSE I GTO .2 - Return if not 0 RCL + 0 - Add start cashflow RTN IRR - this is the elegance of the HP-15 - just load your guesses in x and I and use SOLVE ( f SOLVE 1)
