Real Estate  
Refinancing  
It can be mutually advantageous to both borrower and lender to refinance  
an existing mortgage which has an interest rate substantially below the  
current market rate, with a loan at a below-market rate. The borrower has  
the immediate use of tax-free cash, while the lender has substantially  
increased debt service on a relatively small cash outlay.  
To find the benefits to both borrower and lender:  
1. Calculate the monthly payment on the existing mortgage.  
2. Calculate the monthly payment on the new mortgage.  
3. Calculate the net monthly payment received by the lender (and paid by the  
borrower) by adding the figure found in Step 1 to the figure found in Step 2.  
4. Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) to the lender of the net cash  
advanced.  
5. Calculate the yield to the lender as an IRR.  
6. Calculate the NPV to the borrower of the net cash received.  
Example 1: An investment property has an existing mortgage which  
originated 8 years ago with an original term of 25 years, fully amortized in  
level monthly payments at 6.5% interest. The current balance is $133,190.  
Although the going current market interest rate is 11.5%, the lender has  
agreed to refinance the property with a $200,000, 17 year, level-monthly-  
payment loan at 9.5% interest.  
What are the NPV and effective yield to the lender on the net abount of  
cash actually advanced?  
What is the NPV to the borrower on this amount if he can earn a 15.25%  
equity yield rate on the net proceeds of the loan?

Wrap-Around Mortgage  
A wrap-around mortgage is essentially the same as a refinancing mortgage,  
except that the new mortgage is granted by a different lender, who assumes  
the payments on the existing mortgage, which remains in full force. The new  
(second) mortgage is thus “wrapped around” the existing mortgage. The  
"wrap-around" lender advances the net difference between the new  
(second) mortgage and the existing mortgage in cash to the borrower, and  
receives as net cash flow, the difference between debt service on the new  
(second) mortgage and debt service on the existing mortgage.  
When the terms of the original mortgage and the wrap-around are the  
same, the procedures in calculating NPV and IRR to the lender and NPV  
to the borrower are exactly the same as those presented in the preceding  
section on refinancing.  
Example 1: A mortgage loan on an income property has a remaining  
balance of $200,132.06. When the load originated 8 years ago, it had a 20-  
year term with full amortization in level monthly payments at 6.75% interest.  
A lender has agreed to “wrap” a $300,000 second mortgage at 10%, with  
full amortization in level monthly payments over 12 years. What is the  
effective yield (IRR) to the lender on the net cash advanced?

Income Property Cash Flow Analysis  
Before-Tax Cash Flows  
The before-tax cash flows applicable to real estate analysis and problems  
are:  
Potential Gross Income  
Effective Gross Income  
Net Operating Income (also called Net Income Before Recapture.)  
Cash Throw-off to Equity (also called Gross Spendable Cash)  
The derivation of these cash flows follows a set sequence:  
1. Calculate Potential Gross Income by multiplying the rent per unit times the  
number of units, times the number of rental payments periods per year.  
This gives the rental income the property would generate if it were fully  
occupied.  
2. Deduct Allowance for Vacancy and Rental Loss. This is usually expressed  
as a percentage. The result is Rent Collections (which is also Effective  
Gross Income if there is no "Other Income").  
3. Add "Other Income" such as receipts from concessions (laundry  
equipment, etc.), produced from sources other than the rental office space.  
This is Effective Gross Income.  
4. Deduct Operating Expenses. These are expenditures the landlord-investor  
must make, by contract or custom, to preserve the property and keep in  
capable of producing the gross income. The result is the Net Operating  
Income.  
5. Deduct Annual Debt Service on the mortgage. This produces Cash Throw-  
Off to Equity.  
Thus:  
Effective Gross Income =  
Potential Gross Income - Vacancy Loss + Other Income.  
Net Operating Income =  
Effective Gross Income - Operating Expenses.  
Cash Throw-Off =  
Net Operating Income - Annual Dept Service.  
Example: A 60-unit apartment building has rentals of $250 per unit per  
month. With a 5% vacancy rate, the annual operating cost is $76,855.  
The property has just been financed with a $700,000 mortgage, fully  
amortized in a level monthly payments at 11.5% over 20 years.

Before-Tax Reversions (Resale Proceeds)  
The reversion receivable at the end of the income projection period is  
usually based on forecast or anticipated resale of the property at that time.  
The before tax reversion amount applicable to real estate analysis and  
problems are:  
Sale Price.  
Cash Proceeds of Resale.  
Outstanding Mortgage Balance.  
Net Cash Proceeds of Resale to Equity.  
The derivation of these reversions are as follows:  
1. Forecast or estimate Sales Price. Deduct sales and Transaction Costs.  
The result is the Proceeds of Resale.  
2. Calculate the Outstanding Balance of the Mortgage at the end of the  
Income Projection Period and subtract it from Proceeds of Resale. The  
result is net Cash Proceeds of Resale.  
Thus:  
Cash Proceeds of Resale =  
Sales Price - Transaction Costs.  
Net Cash Proceeds of Resale =  
Cash Proceeds of Resale - Outstanding Mortgage Balance.  
Example: The apartment property in the preceding example is expected  
to be resold in 10 years. The anticipated resale price is $800,000. The

transaction costs are expected to be 7% of the resale price. The mortgage  
is the same as that indicated in the preceding example.

After-Tax Cash Flows  
The After-Tax Cash Flow (ATCF) is found for the each year by deducting  
the Income Tax Liability for that year from the Cash Throw Off.  
where:  
Taxable Income =  
Net Operating Income - interest - depreciation.  
Tax Liability =  
Taxable Income x Marginal Tax Rate.  
After Tax Cash Flow =  
Cash Throw Off - Tax Liability.  
The After-Tax Cash Flow for the initial and successive years may be  
calculated by the following HP-12C program. This program calculates the  
Net Operating Income using the Potential Gross Income, operational cost  
and vacancy rate. The Net Operating Income is readjusted each year from  
the growth rates in Potential Gross Income and operational costs.  
The user is able to change the method of finding the depreciation from  
declining balance to straight line. To make the change, key in

After-Tax Net Cash Proceeds of Resale  
The After-Tax Net Cash Proceeds of Resale (ATNCPR) is the after-tax  
reversion to equity; generally, the estimated resale price of the property  
less commissions, outstanding debt and any tax claim.  
The After-Tax Net Cash Proceeds can be found using the HP-12C  
program which follows. In calculating the owner's income tax liability on  
resale, this program assumes that the owner elects to have his capital  
gain taxed at 40% of his Marginal Tax Rate. This assumption is in  
accordance with a 1978 Federal tax ruling.* (*Federal Taxes, code sec.  
1202 (32,036))  
This program uses declining balance depreciation to find the amount of  
depreciation from purchase to sale. This amount is used to determine the  
excess depreciation (which is equal to the amount of actual depreciation  
minus the amount of the straight line depreciation).

Lending  
Loan With a Constant Amount Paid Towards  
Principal  
This type of loan is structured such that the principal is repaid in equal  
installments with the interest paid in addition. Therefor each periodic  
payment has a constant amount applied toward the principle and a  
varying amount of interest.  
Loan Reduction Schedule  
If the constant periodic payment to principal, annual interest rate, and loan  
amount are known, the total payment, interest portion of each payment,  
and remaining balance after each successive payment may be calculated  
as follows:  
1. Key in the constant periodic payment to principal and press  
2. Key in periodic interest rate and press  
0.  
.
3. Key in the loan amount. If you wish to skip to another time period, press  
. Then key in the number of payments to be skipped, and press  
0
.
4. Press  
5. Press  
6. Press  
to obtain the interest portion of the payment.  
to obtain the total payment.

to obtain the remaining balance of the loan.  
7. Return to step 4 for each successive payment.  
Example 1: A $60,000 land loan at 10% interest calls for equal semi-  
annual principal payments over a 6-year maturity. What is the loan  
reduction schedule for the first year? (Constant payment to principal is  
$5000 semi-annually). What is the fourth year's schedule (skip 4  
payments)?

Add-On Interest Rate Converted to APR  
An add-on interest rate determines what portion of the principal will be  
added on for repayment of a loan. This sum is then divided by the number  
of months in a loan to determine the monthly payment. For example, a  
10% add-on rate for 36 months on $3000 means add one-tenth of $3000  
for 3 years (300 x 3) - usually called the "finance charge" - for a total of  
$3900. The monthly payment is $3900/36.  
This keystroke procedure converts an add-on interest rate to a annual  
percentage rate when the add-on rate and number of months are known.

Add-On Rate Loan with Credit Life.  
This HP-12C program calculates the monthly payment amount, credit life  
amount (an optional insurance which cancels any remaining indebtedness  
at the death of the borrower), total finance charge, and annual percentage  
rate (APR) for an add-on interest rate (AIR) loan. The monthly payment is  
rounded (in normal manner) to the nearest cent. If other rounding  
techniques are used, slightly different results may occur.

Graduated Payment Mortgages  
The Graduated Payment Mortgage is designed to meet the needs of  
young home buyers who currently cannot afford high mortgage payments,  
but who have the potential of increasing earning in the years on come.  
Under the Graduated Payment Mortgage plan, the payments increase by  
a fixed percentage at the end of each year for a specified number of years.  
Thereafter, the payment amount remains constant for remaining life of the  
mortgage.  
The result is that the borrower pays a reduced payment (a payment which  
is less than a traditional mortgage payment) in the early years, and in the  
later years makes larger payments than he would with a traditional loan.  
Over the entire term of the mortgage, the borrower would pay more than  
he would with conventional financing.  
Given the term of the mortgage (in years), the annual percentage rate, the  
loan amount, the percentage that the payments increase, and the number  
of years that the payments increase, the following HP-12C program  
determines the monthly payments and remaining balance for each year  
until the level payment is reached.

Variable Rate Mortgages  
As its name suggests, a variable rate mortgage is a mortgage loan which  
provides for adjustment of its interest rate as market interest rates change.  
As a result, the current interest rate on a variable rate mortgage may differ  
from its origination rate (i.e., the rate when the loan was made). This is the  
difference between a variable rate mortgage and the standard fixed  
payment mortgage, where the interest rate and the monthly payment are  
constant throughout the term.  
Under the agreement of the variable rate mortgage, the mortgage is  
examined periodically to determine any rate adjustments. The rate  
adjustment may be implemented in two ways:  
1. Adjusting the monthly payment.  
2. Modifying the term of the mortgage.  
The period and limits to interest rate increases vary from state to state.  
Each periodic adjustment may be calculated by using the HP-12C with the  
following keystroke procedure. The original terms of the mortgage are  
assumed to be known.

from the payments which have been made.  
To calculate the remaining balance, do the following:  
a. Key in the previous remaining balance. If this is the first mortgage  
adjustment, this value is the original amount of the loan. Press  
.
b. Key in the annual interest rate before the adjustment (as a percent-

Example: A homeowner purchased his house 3 years ago with a $50,000  
variable rate mortgage. With a 30-year term, his current monthly payment  
is $495.15. When the interest rate is adjusted from 11.5% to 11.75%, what  
will the monthly payment be? If the monthly payment remained  
unchanged, find the revised remaining term on the mortgage.

Skipped Payments  
Sometimes a loan (or lease) may be negotiated in which a specific set of  
monthly payments are going to be skipped each year. Seasonally is  
usually the reason for such an agreement. For example, because of heavy  
rainfall, a bulldozer cannot be operated in Oregon during December,  
January, and February, and the lessee wishes to make payments only  
when his machinery is being used. He will make nine payments per year,  
but the interest will continue to accumulate over the months in which a  
payment is not made.  
To find the monthly payment amount necessary to amortize the loan in the  
specified amount of time, information is entered as follows:

The first payment is due one month later, and payments will continue over  
a period of 5 years. Due to the weather, the machinery will not be used  
during the winter months, and the purchaser does not wish to make  
payments during January, February, and March (months 4 thru 6). If the  
current interest rate is 14%, what is the monthly payment necessary to  
amortize the loan?

Compounding Periods Different From  
Payment Periods  
In financial calculations involving a series of payments equally spaced in  
time with periodic compounding, both periods of time are normally equal  
and coincident. This assumption is preprogrammed into the HP 12C.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.4co4m. All Manuals Search And Download.  
I savings plans however, money may become available for deposit or  
investment at a frequency different from the compounding frequencies  
offered. The HP 12C can easily be used in these calculations. However,  
because of the assumptions mentioned the periodic interest rate must be  
adjusted to correspond to an equivalent rate for the payment period.  
Payments deposited for a partial compounding period will accrue simple  
interest for the remainder of the compounding period. This is often the  
case, but may not be true for all institutions.  
These procedures present solutions for future value, payment amount,  
and number of payments. In addition, it should be noted that only annuity  
due (payments at the beginning of payment period) calculations are  
shown since this is the most common in savings plan calculations.  
To calculate the equivalent payment period interest rate, information is  
entered as follows:  
1. Press  
and press  
CLEAR  
.
2. Key in the annual interest rate (as a percent) and press  
3. Key in the number of compounding periods per year and press  
.
.
4. Key in 100 and press  
.
5. Key in the number of payments (deposits) per year and press  
CLEAR  
.
The interest rate which corresponds to the payment period is now in  
register "i" and you are ready to proceed.

Investment Analysis  
Lease vs. Purchase  
An investment decision frequently encountered is the decision to lease or  
purchase capital equipment or buildings. Although a thorough evaluation  
of a complex acquisition usually requires the services of a qualified  
accountant, it is possible to simplify a number of the assumptions to  
produce a first approximation.  
The following HP-12C program assumes that the purchase is financed  
with a loan and that the loan is made for the term of the lease. The tax  
advantages of interest paid, depreciation, and the investment credit which  
accrues from ownership are compared to the tax advantage of treating the  
lease payment as an expense. The resulting cash flows are discounted to  
the present at the firm's after-tax cost of capital.

Example: Home Style Bagel Company is evaluating the acquisition of a mixer  
which can be leased for $1700 a year with the first and last payments in advance  
and a $750 buy back option at the end of 10 years (maintenance is included).  
The same equipment could be purchased for $10,000 with a 12% loan  
amortized over 10 years. Ownership maintenance is estimated to be 2% of the  
purchase price per year for the first for years. A major overhaul is predicted for  
the 5th year at a cost of $1500. Subsequent yearly maintenance of 3% is  
estimated for the remainder of the 10-year term. The company would use sum  
of the years digits depreciation on a 10 year life with $1500 salvage value. An  
accountant informs management to take the 10% capital investment tax credit  
at the end of the second year and to figure the cash flows at a 48% tax rate.  
The after tax cost of capital (discounting rate) is 5 percent.  
Because lease payments are made in advance and standard loan  
payments are made in arrears the following cash flow schedule is  
appropriate for a lease with the last payment in advance.

Break-Even Analysis  
Break-even analysis is basically a technique for analyzing the  
relationships among fixed costs, variable costs, and income. Until the  
break even point is reached at the intersection of the total income and  
total cost lines, the producer operates at a loss. After the break-even point  
each unit produced and sold makes a profit. Break even analysis may be  
represented as follows.

The variables are: fixed costs (F), Sales price per unit (P), variable cost  
per unit (V), number of units sold (U), and gross profit (GP). One can  
readily evaluate GP, U or P given the four other variables. To calculate the  
break-even volume, simply let the gross profit equal zero and calculate the  
number of units sold (U).

Operating Leverage  
The degree of operating leverage (OL) at a point is defined as the ratio of  
the percentage change in net operating income to the percentage change  
in units sold. The greatest degree of operating leverage is found near the  
break even point where a small change in sales may produce a very large  
increase in profits. Likewise, firms with a small degree of operating  
leverage are operating farther form the break even point, and they are  
relatively insensitive to changes in sales volume.  
The necessary inputs to calculate the degree of operating leverage and  
fixed costs (F), sales price per unit (P), variable cost per unit (V) and  
number of units (U).  
The operating leverage may be readily calculated as follows:  
1. Key in the sales price per unit and press  
2. Key in the variable cost per unit and press  
.

Profit and Loss Analysis  
The HP-12C may be programmed to perform simplified profit and loss  
analysis using the standard profit income formula and can be used as a  
dynamic simulator to quickly explore ranges of variables affecting the  
profitability of a marketing operation.  
The program operates with net income return and operating expenses as  
percentages. Both percentage figures are based on net sales price.  
It may also be used to simulate a company wide income statement by  
replacing list price with gross sales and manufacturing cost with cost of  
goods sold.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.5co9m. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Any of the five variables: a) list price, b) discount (as a percentage of list  
price), c) manufacturing cost, d) operating expense (as a percentage), e)  
net profit after tax (as a percentage) may be calculated if the other four are  
known.  
Since the tax rage varies from company to company, provision is made for  
inputting your applicable tax rate. The example problem uses a tax rate of  
48%.

After-Tax Yield  
The following HP-12C program calculate the after tax yield to maturity of a  
bond held for more than one year. The calculations assumes an actual/  
actual day basis. For after-tax computations, the interest or coupon  
payments are considered income, while the difference between the bond  
or note face value and its purchase price is considered capital gains.

Discounted Notes  
A note is a written agreement to pay a sum of money plus interest at a  
certain rate. Notes to not have periodic coupons, since all interest is paid  
at maturity.  
A discounted note is a note that is purchase below its face value. The  
following HP 12C program finds the price and/or yield* (*The yield is a  
reflection of the return on an investment) of a discounted note.

Forecasting  
Simple Moving Average  
Moving averages are often useful in recording of forecasting sales figures,  
expenses or manufacturing volume. There are many different types of  
moving average calculations. An often used, straightforward method of  
calculation is presented here.  
In a moving average a specified number of data points are averaged.  
When there is a new piece of input data, the oldest piece of data is  
discarded to make room for the latest input. This replacement scheme  
makes the moving average a valuable tool in following trends. The fewer  
the number of data points, the more trend sensitive the average becomes.  
With a large number of data points, the average behaves more like a  
regular average, responding slowly to new input data.  
A simple moving average may be calculated with your HP 12C as follows.  
1. Press  
2. Key in the first m data points (where m is the number of data points in the  
average) and press after each entry.  
CLEAR  
.
3. Press  
4. Key in the oldest (first value) entered in step 2 and press  
5. Key in the newest data point (m + 1) and press  
to obtain the first average.  
.
.
6. Press  
to obtain the next value of the moving average.  
7. Repeat steps 4 through 5 for the remaining data.  
Example: An electronics sales firm wished to calculate a 3-month moving  
average for the dollar volume of components sole each month. Sales for  
the first six months of this year were:  
January  
February  
March  
April

Seasonal Variation Factors Based on  
Centered Moving Averages.  
Seasonal variation factors are useful concepts in many types of  
forecasting. There are several methods of developing seasonal moving  
averages, on the of more common ways being to calculate them as a  
ration of the periodic value to a centered moving average for the same  
period.  
For instance, to determine the sales for the 3rd quarter of a given year a  
centered moving average for that quarter would be calculated from sales  
figures from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters of the year and the 1st  
quarter of the following year. The seasonal variation factor for that 3rd  
quarter would then be the ration of the actual sales in the 3rd quarter to  
the centered moving average for that quarter.  
While quarterly seasonal variations are commonly used, the HP 12C can  
also be programmed to calculate monthly seasonal variations using a  
centered 12 month moving averages. Programs for both of these  
calculations are represented here:  
An HP 12C program to calculate the quarterly seasonal variations based  
on a centered 4-point moving average is:

Gompertz Curve Trend Analysis  
Download from Www.Somanuals.8co2m. All Manuals Search And Download.  
A useful curve for evaluating sales trends, etc., is the Gompertz curve.  
This is a "growth" curve having a general "S" shape and may be used to  
describe series of data where the early rate of growth is small, then  
accelerates for a period of time and then slows again as the time grows  
long. The sales curve for many products follow this trend during the  
introductory, growth and maturity phases.  
The data points to be fit to a Gompertz curve should be equally spaced  
along the x (or time) axis and all the data points must be positive. The  
points are divided serially into 3 groups for data entry.  
The following HP 12C program processes the data, fits it to a Gompertz  
curve and calculates estimated values for future data points. The 3  
constants which characterize the curve are available to the user if desired.

Forecasting with Exponential Smoothing  
A common method for analyzing trends in sales, inventory and securities  
is the moving average. Exponential smoothing is a version of the weighted  
moving average which is readily adaptable to programmable calculator  
forecasting.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.8co7m. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Exponential smoothing is often used for short term sales and inventory  
forecasts. Typical forecast periods are monthly or quarterly. Unlike a  
moving average, exponential smoothing does not require a great deal of  
historical data. However , it should not be used with data which has more  
than a moderate amount of up or down trend.  
When using exponential smoothing, a smoothing factor is chosen which  
affects the sensitivity of the average much the same way as the length of  
the standard moving average period. The correspondence between the  
two techniques can be represented by the formula:  
2
-----------  
α =  
n + 1  
where α is the exponential smoothing factor (with values from 0 to 1) and  
n is the length of the standard moving average. As the equation shows,  
the longer the moving average period, the smaller the equivalent and the  
less sensitive the average becomes to fluctuations in current values.  
Forecasting with exponential smoothing involves selecting the best  
smoothing factor based on historical data and then using the factor for  
updating subsequent data and forecasting. This procedure uses the  
following HP 12C program:

Pricing Calculations  
Markup and Margin Calculations  
Sales work often involves calculating the various relations between markup,  
margin, selling price and costs. Markup is defined as the difference between  
selling price and cost, divided by the cost. Margin is defined as the  
difference between selling price and cost, divided by selling price. In other  
words, markup is based on cost and margin is based on selling price.  
The following keystroke sequences are given to readily make these  
calculations on the HP-12C.

Curve Fitting  
Exponential Curve Fit  
Using the  
function of the HP-12C, a least squares exponential curve  
Bx  
fit may be easily calculated according to the equation y=Ae . The  
exponential curve fitting technique is often used to determine the growth  
rate of a variable such as a stock's value over time, when it is suspected  
that the performance is non-linear. The value for B is the decimal value of  
the continuous growth rate. For instance, assume after keying in several  
end-of-month price quotes for a particular stock it is determined that the  
value of B is 0.10. This means that over the measured growth period the  
stock has experienced a 10% continuous growth rate.  
If B>0, you will have a growth curve. If B

Logarithmic Curve Fit  
If your data does not fit a line or an exponential curve, try the following  
logarithmic curve fit. This is calculated according to the equation y = A + B  
(ln x), and all x values must be positive.

Chi-Square Statistics  
The chi-square statistic is a measure of the goodness of fit between two  
sets of frequencies. It is used to test whether a set of observed  
frequencies differs from a set of expected frequencies sufficiently to reject  
the hypothesis under which the expected frequencies were obtained.  
In other words, you are testing whether discrepancies between the  
observed frequencies (Oi) and the expected frequencies (Ei) are  
significant, or whether they may reasonable be attributed to chance. The  
formula generally used is:

Normal Distribution  
The normal (or Gaussian) distribution is an important tool in statistics and  
business analysis. The following HP-12C program gives an approximation  
to the upper tail area Q under a standardized normal distribution curve,  
given x. The upper tail area signifies the probability of occurrence of all  
values x.

Covariance  
Covariance is a measure of the interdependence between paired  
variables (x and y). Like standard deviation, covariance may be defined  
for either a sample (Sxy) or a population (S'xy) as follows:  
Sxy = r * sx * sy  
S'xy = r * s'x * s'y  
The following procedure finds the covariance of a sample (Sxy) and of a  
population (S' ):

Random Number Generator  
This HP-12C program calculates uniformly distributed pseudo-random  
numbers u in the range

0 < u < 1.  
i
The following method is used:  
u + 1 = fractional part of (997 u )  
i
i
where i = 0, 1, 2, ...  
u = 0.5284163* (seed), *Other seeds may be selected but the quotient of  
0
7
(seed x 10 ) divided by two or five must not be an integer. Also, it would be  
wise to statistically test other seeds before using them. )  
The period of this generator has a length of 500,000 numbers and the  
generator passes the frequency test (chi Square) for uniformity, the serial  
test and the run test. The most significant digits (the left hand digits) are  
the most random digits. The right most digits are significantly less random.

Homeowners Monthly Payment Estimator  
It is often useful, when comparison shopping for a mortgage or  
determining the appropriate price range of houses to consider, to be able  
to quickly estimate the monthly payment given the purchase price, tax rate  
per $1000, percent down, interest rate and term of the loan.  
The calculation assumes that the assessed value is 100% of the sales  
price and does not take into account financing of the closing costs.  
A simple keystroke procedure may be used to calculate the monthly  
payment:  
1. Press  
2. Key in the annual interest rate and press  
3. Key in the term of the loan (in years) and press  
and press  
CLEAR  
.

. ( A negative sign is the  
convention for cash paid out).  
Example: What would your monthly payments be on a $65,000 house in a  
neighborhood with a $25 per thousand tax rate and a 10 3/4 % interest  
rate on a 35 year loan with 10% down?

Tax-Free Individual Retirement (IRA) of Keogh  
Plan.  
The advent of tax-free retirement accounts (IRA or Keogh) has resulted in  
considerable benefits for many person who are not able to participate in  
group profit sharing or retirement plans. The savings due to tax-free status  
are often considerable, but complex to calculate. Required data are: the  
years to retirement, the total annual investment, the compound annual  
interest rate of the investment, and an assumed tax rate which would be  
paid on a similar non taxfree investment. This program calculates:  
1. The future cash value of the tax-free investment.  
2. The total cash paid in.  
3. The total dividends paid.  
4. The future value of the investment at retirement, assuming that after  
retirement you withdrew the money at a rate which causes the money to  
be taxed at 1/2 the rate at which it would otherwise have been taxed during  
the pay in period.  
5. The diminished purchasing power assuming a given annual inflation rate.  
6. The future value of a comparable taxable investment.  
7. The diminished purchasing power of a comparable taxable investment.  
Notes:  
The calculations run from the beginning of the first year to the end of the  
last year.  
The interest (annual yield), i, should be entered to as many significant fig-  
ures as possible for maximum accuracy.  
The assumed 10% annual inflation rate may be changed by modifying the  
program at lines 19 and 20.  
The assumed tax rate used to calculate the after tax value of the tax-free  
investment may be changed by modifying the program at line 9.

Stock Portfolio Evaluation and Analysis  
This program evaluates a portfolio of stocks given the current market price  
per share and the annual dividend. The user inputs the initial purchase  
price of a stock, the number of shares, the beta coefficient*, the annual  
dividend, and the current market price for a portfolio of any size.  
The program returns the percent change in value of each stock and the  
valuation and beta coefficient* of the entire portfolio. Output includes the  
original portfolio value, the new portfolio value, the percent change in the  
value and the annual dividend and yield as a percent of the current market  
value. The overall beta coefficient of the portfolio is also calculated.  
*The beta coefficient is a measure of a stock variability (risk) compared to  
the market in general. Beta values for individual stocks can be acquired  
from brokers, investment publications or the local business library.  
Notes:  
Download from Www.Somanuals1.c3om0. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Prices are input in the form XXX.ND where N is the numerator and D is the  
Denominator of the fractional portion of the price, e.g. 25 5/8 is input as  
25.58.  
The beta coefficient analysis is optional. Key in 1.00 if beta is not to be  
analyzed.

Canadian Mortgages  
In Canada, interest is compounded semi-annually with payments made  
monthly. This results in a different monthly mortgage factor than is used in  
the United States and preprogrammed into the HP-12C. This difference  
can be easily handled by the addition of a few keystrokes. For any  
problem requiring an input for  
, the Canadian mortgage factor is  
calculated first and then this value is entered in for  
in the calculation to  
give the answer for Canada. The keystrokes to calculate the Canadian  
Mortgage factor are:  
1. Press  
CLEAR  
.
2. Key in 6 and press  
.
3. Key in 200 and press  
.
4. Key in the annual interest rate as a percentage and press  
.
5. Press  
.
The Canadian mortgage factor is now stored in  
for future use. The  
in Canadian  
examples below show how this factor is used for  
mortgage problems.

Miscellaneous  
Learning Curve for Manufacturing Costs  
Many production process costs vary with output according to the "learning  
curve" equation. The production team becomes more proficient in  
manufacturing a given item as more and more of them are fabricated and  
costs may be expected to decrease by a predictable amount. The learning  
factor, r, characterizes the learning curve. For instance, if r=.80 the curve  
is called an 80% learning curve.  
It is readily apparent that the learning, or experience curve, has many  
uses in setting production standards, forecasting costs, setting prices, etc.  
Note, however, that the learning factor may change, especially after large  
numbers have been produced.  
It the cost of the first unit of a run, C1, and the learning curve factor, r, are  
known, the following procedure can be used to calculate the cost of the  
nth item:  
1. Key in the cost of the first item, C and press  
.
1
2. Key in the number of units produced, n, and press  
.
3. Key in the learning factor, r, and press  
2
.
4. Then press to calculate the cost of the nth unit, C .  
n
Example 1: An electronic manufacturer begins a pilot run on a new  
instrument. From past experience he expects the process to have a  
learning factor, r, or 0.90. If the first unit costs $875 to produce, what is the  
expected cost of the 100th unit?

If the cost of the first unit, C1, and the nth unit, Cn, are known the learning  
factor may be calculated. In addition, it is possible to calculate Cij, the  
average cost of the ith thru jth unit. These calculations may be rapidly  
done with the following HP-12C program:

Queuing and Waiting Theory  
Waiting lines, or queues, cause problems in many marketing situations.  
Customer goodwill, business efficiency, labor and space considerations  
are only some of the problems which may be minimized by proper  
application of queuing theory.  
Although queuing theory can be complex and complicated subject,  
handheld calculators can be used to arrive at helpful decisions.  
One common situation that we can analyze involves the case of several  
identical stations serving customers, where the customers arrive randomly  
in unlimited numbers. Suppose there are n (1 or more) identical stations  
serving the customers. λ is the arrival rate (Poisson input) and µ is the  
service rate (exponential service). We will assume that all customers are  
served on a firstcome, first-served basis and wait in a single line (queue)  
then are directed to whichever station is available. We also will assume  
that no customers are lost from the queue. This situation, for instance,  
would be closely approximated by customers at some banking operations.  
The formulas for calculating some of the necessary probabilities are too  
complex for simple keystroke solution. However, tables listing these  
probabilities are available and can be used to aid in quick solutions. Using  
the assumptions outlined above and a suitable table giving mean waiting  
time as a multiple of mean service (see page 512 of the Reference) the  
following keystroke solutions may be obtained:  
1. Key in the arrival rate of customers, λ, and press  
.
2. Key in the service rate, µ, and press to calculate ρ, the intensity  
factor. (Note ρ must be less than n for valid results, otherwise the queue  
will lengthen without limit).  
3. Key in n, the number of servers and press  
4. For a given n and ρ/n find the mean waiting time as a multiple of mean  
service time from the table. Key it in and press  
5. Calculate the average waiting time in the queue by keying in the service  
rate, µ, and pressing 2.

Making," Holt, Rinehart and Winston, New York, 1977  
Example 1: Bank customers arrive at a bank on an average of 1.2  
customers per minute. They join a common queue for three tellers. Each  
teller completes a transaction at the rate of one customer every 2 minutes  
(0.5 customers per minute). What is the average waiting time in the  
queue? In the system? What is the average number of customers in the
