A DEPR Mode Financial Calculation Variables
(VARS)
•Variables n, I, PV, and FV are used in the DEPR Mode.
• The values of DEPR Mode variables are retained even if
you change to another mode. Note, however, that DEPR
Mode variables are also used by other modes, so
performing an input or calculation operation may change
the values assigned to them.
• Though DEPR Mode variables are financial calculation
variables, they are also used by arithmetic and function
operations in the COMP Mode.
