Help with financial calculator calculator

thisisbrianly

Hi,

I've bought Texas BA plus calculator and I am trying to set my hands on it, however, I am stuck in the following problem (Reading 65, practice question 1b)


A 5-year amortizing security with a par value of $10,000 and a coupon rate of 5% has an expected cash flow of $2,309.75 per year, assuming there are no principal prepayments. The annual cash flow includes interest and principal payment. What is the present value of this amortizing security assuming a discount rate of 6%?

Wanted to know if the problem can be solved directly by entering the values in calculator (if so, how) or will we have to find the present value for each year and add them up.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
