Required Materials for HAME507 and HAME508

Do I need any extra supplies for my courses?

Most courses do not require additional items to be purchased. However, HAME507 - Mastering the Time Value of Money and HAME508 - Making Capital Investment Decisions are currently the only courses that require the additional purchase of a financial calculator, use of an app, or emulator.

Two recommended financial calculators are:

  • Hewlett-Packard 12C
  • Texas Instruments BA II Plus
    Both are available for purchase directly from Amazon.com.

Also acceptable is the Texas Instruments BA II Plus app for iPhone and iPad.

Course instructions only address functions used by the HP-12C and the BA II Plus. Both calculators are widely used and permitted on CFA Program exams.

If you choose to use a different calculator, realize that instructors are not able to answer questions on how to use specific functions unique to calculators other than the H-12C or BA II Plus. Other financial calculators may use different keystroke combinations to solve problems. It’s difficult to know the ins and outs of the dozens of financial calculators currently available on the market.
