A

On the BAII Plus, press 28 N, 6 divide 4 = I/Y, 5000 PV, 0 FV, CPT PMT. On the HP12C, press 28 n, 6 ENTER 4 divide i, 5000 PV, 0 FV, PMT. Note that the answer will be displayed as a negative number. Make sure the BAII Plus has the P/Y value set to 1. The value of "N" is set to 28 since there are 28 quarters in 7 years (7 x 4 = 28).
