Whenever you use the Finance App (TVM Solver) on your calculator, it's critical that you enter and interpret the signs correctly:
When you receive money from a bank or savings account, that value is positive, because you're gaining money.
When you send money to a bank, that value is negative, because you're losing money.
In IB, loans are paid off at the end of a number of periods (N) and have an annual interest rate (I%), an initial balance (PV), a fixed payment (PMT), and an outstanding balance (FV). Payments per year and compounds per year typically occur at the same frequency (P/Y, C/Y).
You can use the TVM solver with loans to find any of those variables if you know all the others.
