Can the BA II Plus show the full formula I am typing during CFA calculations?
Do not rely on the BA II Plus as a full equation display. Treat it as a financial calculator that executes inputs, not as an algebra notebook that preserves a readable expression.
The workaround is to write a short formula trace before entering numbers. For example, write PV = CF1 / (1 + r) + CF2 / (1 + r)^2 before calculating. Then enter the pieces carefully.
This keeps the finance logic visible even when the calculator screen is not showing the whole expression.
