calculating;variable declining depreciations depreciations;variable declining VDB function VDB Returns the depreciation of an asset for a specified or partial period using a variable declining balance method.

VDB(Cost; Salvage; Life; S; End [; Factor [; NoSwitch]]) Cost is the initial value of an asset. Salvage is the value of an asset at the end of the depreciation. Life is the depreciation duration of the asset. S is the start of the depreciation. A must be entered in the same date unit as the duration. End is the end of the depreciation. Factor (optional) is the depreciation factor. Factor = 2 is double rate depreciation. NoSwitchis an optional parameter. NoSwitch = 0 (default) means a switch to linear depreciation. In NoSwitch = 1 no switch is made.

What is the declining-balance double-rate depreciation for a period if the initial cost is 35,000 currency units and the value at the end of the depreciation is 7,500 currency units. The depreciation period is 3 years. The depreciation from the 10th to the 20th period is calculated. =VDB(35000;7500;36;10;20;2) = 8603.80 currency units. The depreciation during the period between the 10th and the 20th period is 8,603.80 currency units.

calculating;internal rates of return, irregular payments internal rates of return;irregular payments XIRR function mw changed "calculating;..." and "internal rates of return" XIRR Calculates the internal rate of return for a list of payments which take place on different dates. The calculation is based on a 365 days per year basis, ignoring leap years. If the payments take place at regular intervals, use the IRR function.

XIRR(Values; Dates [; Guess]) Values and Dates refer to a series of payments and the series of associated date values. The first pair of dates defines the start of the payment plan. All other date values must be later, but need not be in any order. The series of values must contain at least one negative and one positive value (receipts and deposits). Guess (optional) is a guess that can be input for the internal rate of return. The default is 10%.

=XIRR(B1:B5; A1:A5; 0.1) returns 0.1828.

XNPV function XNPV Calculates the capital value (net present value) for a list of payments which take place on different dates. The calculation is based on a 365 days per year basis, ignoring leap years. If the payments take place at regular intervals, use the NPV function.

XNPV(Rate; Values; Dates) Rate is the internal rate of return for the payments. Values and Dates refer to a series of payments and the series of associated date values. The first pair of dates defines the start of the payment plan. All other date values must be later, but need not be in any order. The series of values must contain at least one negative and one positive value (receipts and deposits)

Calculation of the net present value for the above-mentioned five payments for a national internal rate of return of 6%. =XNPV(0.06;B1:B5;A1:A5) returns 323.02.

calculating;rates of return RRI function RRI Calculates the interest rate resulting from the profit (return) of an investment.

The cash value is the deposit of cash or the current cash value of an allowance in kind. As a deposit value a positive value must be entered; the deposit must not be 0 or <0. FV determines what is desired as the cash value of the deposit.

For four periods (years) and a cash value of 7,500 currency units, the interest rate of the return is to be calculated if the future value is 10,000 currency units. =RRI(4;7500;10000) = 7.46 % The interest rate must be 7.46 % so that 7,500 currency units will become 10,000 currency units.
