Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: The TVM equation can be used to solve for any of the variables; FV, PF, r, or n.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: 100  (1.10)5 = 161.05, but 100  (1.05)10 = 162.89
MODE = END
INPUT 5 10 -100 0 ?
KEY N I/Y PV PMT FV
CPT 161.05
MODE = END
INPUT 10 5 -100 0 ?
KEY N I/Y PV PMT FV
CPT 162.89
