I meant Casio, Sharp, and TI. Not talking about graphing calculators, just scientific ones that are often used in schools and allowed for exams. The HP models are fine but 12C and 17BII+ don't do trig either. The old HP 27 and HP 27S models ("do everything") were on the right track. Just trying to understand why it's not a priority to add the very useful TVM functions to a full-bore scientific non-graphic calculator like the Ti-36X Pro or this new Casio model.

I agree the 27 and 27S were on the right track and it's a shame no mfr followed up with better versions of scientific machines with basic finance support. I imagine the reason is the class of machines you are describing are aimed at High School Math where there is no TVM I'm aware of. I know two HS Math Teachers and have asked about this exact topic, both said there is nothing at all in their (State mandated) curriculum.
