This program calculate compound solutions.
Provide any three out of four variables for the result of the remaining variable for
[n] [i] [PV] [FV]

LBL A for [n] period
LBL B for [i] interest
LBL C to Reset
LBL D for [PV] Present Value
LBL E for [FV] Future Value

Remark:
Each input data indicate as 0.00 on display with FIX 2
This program didn't use sign convention where money paid out is negative.

Example: switch to USER mode f USER
10 > A > 0.00 (Store [n])
10 > B > 0.00 (Store [i])
1000 > C > 0.00 (Store [PV])

remaining variable is [FV]
E > 2593.74 is the answer for [FV]

If [i] change to 7 what is the [FV]

7 > B > 0.00 (Store new [i])
E > 1967.15 (answer for new [FV] when [i] is 7%)

To start a new problem: LBL C to Reset

That's a nice program and, as far as I can tell, it seems to work correctly.

But you should remove this line from the example:

Unlike the previous pricing program, this one does store a calculated result in the respective register. So you do not have to re-enter it if you want to continue with this value.

In this example a new input isn't required even if the result had not been stored. You just have calculated FV, and now you change the interest rate to calculate a new FV. So the old one is overwritten anyway. You do not need the old FV to calculate a new one. ;-)

The code looks very good. However, if possible, I would avoid clearing all registers. This way the user loses all data he may have stored. So it's always a good idea to clear only the required registers. At least on a calculator with constant memory.
