        “…he manager invests the entire $500 million in a 4.75%, 10 year notes at par.”

        PV=-500
        N=20
        I/Y=4.75 / 2
        PMT= 500 * 0.0475 / 2 (since it’s par)
        FV = 500

        or leave PV off and so CPT -> PV, you’ll get -500 anyway.

        now key in I/Y = 3.75 / 2
        then CPT -> PV

        You should get 541.37

        Got it, thanks @vincentt! I was entering the data wrong in my calculator, so got quite puzzled!
