The
relation between a SR-40 and the TI-55
could easily be found with the Business Analyst
and The MBA. Both the TI-55 and The MBA use a 12-digit LED-stick and a
single-chip design and the mechanical ON/OFF slider.
The MBA gave you advanced
financial and statistical functions and targeted the market above the Business
Analyst. The brown housing gave the calculator a very exclusive note.
Simply by comparing the designation of the integrated circuits
of the upper line "Majestic" calculators, you'll get the all members
of this family:
• TMC1501
TI-57 • TMC1502 The MBA • TMC1503 TI-55 |
In Europe the calculator was sold under a different name, the TI-42 MBA. Don't miss a rare Money Manager manufactured in Brazil sporting a similar brown housing.
The MBA
Powerful business calculator with statistical and financial functions…and programmability. Pre-programmed functions computer net present value and internal rate of return for variable cash flows.
