Using Your HP-12C Financial Calculator

This seminar introduces you to financial calculators that are used by commercial real estate professionals. Demonstrations of the basic features of the calculator illustrate a number of specific real estate examples and problems. While the HP-12C calculator is the focus, the HP10, HP17B2, and HP19B2 are also mentioned. You’ll gain basic skills to be successful in income property courses. Developed for commercial real estate professionals, the seminar thoroughly discusses the basic functions of the calculator as well as the financial functions. However, statistical, depreciation, bond, or programming abilities variously available with these calculators are not discussed. You should be familiar with the concepts of compounding and discounting prior to the class.
