Compounding one investment
This will calculate: how much will your property be worth in so many years?
Example: if you buy a property today for $125,000 (or you already own it and it is worth $125,000 today), what will the value be in 6 years if it appreciates at 12% per year?
The first sequence uses annual compounding. The second uses monthly compounding, which is why the answer is higher.

P/YR tells the calculator how many payments there are in a year. Set it first: 12 for monthly, 1 for annual. It stays set until you change it. +/- changes the number to a negative. On the HP-10B every cash outlay is entered as a negative, which is why the answer comes back positive — it is money you receive.
