This is the financial calculator that I learnt on at varsity. It is brilliant for calculating amortisation table as well as present and future values, net present values, internal rate of return etc.
However if you have used an HP calculator before, the Sharp could be tricky as the calculations are entered in a different order... I guess what I mean to say is stick to the make that you know!
the item was in mint condition with the original box/book. So far so good with the working status of it as well. It was more than I expected to receive.
I love this calculator. You can open it and begin using it right away without needing a manual to pre-program it. I found this calculator through the recommendation of one of my professors. Unfortunately, it looks like Sharp has decided to replace this model and I do not care for their replacement.
