HP 12C Financial Calculator

Description

The HP 12C Financial Calculator features built-in
financial functions and statistics, uses Reverse Polish Notation (RPN), more
than 120 built-in functions, including register-based cash-flow analysis,
10-character, 1-line LCD display, Device measures 5.0 x 0.6 x 3.1 inches
(WxHxD).It has 10-character, 1-line LCD display. If you bought
yourself a financial calculator during the 1980s, chances are it was this bad
boy. Nothing has changed since its introduction–it still uses Reverse Polish
Notation (RPN), is easy and versatile in programming, and has a thin, sturdy
casing. Certainly, there’s been newer, fancier calculators introduced since,
but there’s something to be said for the quality of classics. The HP 12C’s
functions include all the basics–such as calculating APR, NPV, and IRR–and
statistics are a snap. For students new to financial calculators, this is an
excellent place to start. For the most part, the manual reads like a
minitextbook, walking you through sample problems and situations followed by
graphs and tables demonstrating the technique–and you can even check your
results. The section on creating programs does seem to be written for the
technically ignorant, addressing in detail how you could possibly benefit from
using programs, but it’ll still help you get the job done.In general, it’s a
bit slower than newer models, just like last year’s computer isn’t as speedy
as today’s new release. On the plus side, it’s just 3 by 5 inches and slips
easily into a pocket. The bottom is printed with a few little cheat notes for
common functions, which is nice for quick reference. The HP 12C’s one-year
warranty and available tech-support line offer reassurance this little
workhorse will continue to be an industry standard for years to come. –Jill
