I've got an economics exam coming up next week, and I decided that I needed a business calculator that can quickly calculate IRR and other such things. Looked around on Radioshack.ca, officedepot, staples, and figured that my best bet was a Texas Instruments BA II Plus for $39.99 at OD. Staples doesn't have the calculator listed online.
This afternoon, I decided to pop into a Staples while I was on my way to OD (to see if they had anything that wasn't listed online). Sure enough, they had the BA2+ selling for $47.86. The manager (who knows me for bringing ugly PMs his way) was quite pleasant about the PM this time (maybe it's because I got him in trouble with head office a month or so ago...).
Anyway, Staples math:
(47.86-39.99)*0.5= $3.94
39.99-3.94= $36.05 for a Texas Instruments BA II Plus.
It's useful at this point for people in college/university who need a calculator for business or statistical functions.
