Perhaps I stated this poorly. The future value is the value of money 30
years in the future from now. That will give the value at present vs.
the value in the future to the lender.
I don't need to enter 4 variables on my calculator (TI BA-II). Indeed,
if I enter the values above for N, %i and PV only, or enter for FV as
well, I get the same result for PMT.
