How do I calculate annual payments on the BA Real Estate?

The example shows how to calculate annual payments on the BA Real Estate.

Example: What are the annual payments on a mortgage for $75,000 at 8.5 % interest compounded annually over 30 years?

LOAN = 75000
I = 8.5
TERM = 30
PMT = ?

Enter the problem's components:

• Press the [2nd] key and the [I%] key.

• Enter 1 and press the [=] key. (This will set the Periods Per Year to 1.)

• The compounding periods has also changed to 1.

• Press the [ON/C] key twice. (This will clear the screen.)

Input the calculation:
