BA II Plus Calculator Question practice, message, problems

simeezee

I'm going over the practice problems for Reading 5. When I do the command functions to try to solve for r or n like in problems 16 and 17 I keep getting an Error 5 message. Does anyone know why this is?

for example 17 solving for N I do the steps below.
1st Press 5/12 then I/Y
2nd Press 35,000 then PV
3rd Press 0 then PMT
4th Press 100,000 then FV
5th Press CPT then N

Thanks

you must either enter the PV or FV as a negative number. Best of Luck
