Could someone help a “dumb” old man, please!! On page 110 of Lonnie’s latest version of “Deal on Wheels”, it shows a yield of 176% – I can’t come up with the same figures. I know it isn’t Lonnie’s error, it is my “dumbness”. Can someone please give me the formula for figuring Yield.

Thanking you in advance,

Ron

On your financial calculator input:

How much you have invested-Present value(PV)

Number of payments-(N)

Payment Amount-Payment(PMT)

Calculate Monthly Yield- %Interest (%i)

Multiply Monthly yield by 12 to get yearly yield

Happy punching!!!
