TI 84 Plus CE: Consolidated Debts
Disclaimer: This blog is for informational and academic purposes only. Financial decisions are your own.
Introduction
The program CONSOL consolidates a number of debts into a single loan, typically of a lower interest rate than the rate paid of the original debts. The loan can include additional cash and fees charged.
TI-84 Plus CE Program: CONSOL
Notes:
The percent sign is comprised of three symbols: a degree sign ( [ 2nd ], [ apps ] (angle), 1, °), the division slash, and a decimal point. The percent symbol will look something like this: ° / .
All fees are assumed to be financed. At the fees question, if you enter an amount less than 100, it will be treated as a percent of the desired cash out. If you enter an amount 100 or above, it will be treated as an amount. For no fees, enter 0.
Monthly payments at the end of the month are assumed.
The cash sign convention is used. If the interest difference is positive, you are saving interest costs. If the interest difference is negative, you have an additional interest cost.
The list of original debts are stored to list L₄.
The list of associated rates are stored to list L₅.
The list of associated number of payments renaming to list L₆.
The payment function, tvm_Pmt is from the Finance app ( [ apps ], 1. Finance…, 2: tvm_Pmt). Syntax: tvm_Pmt( number of payments, annual interest rate, present value, future value, payments per year, compound periods per year).
