Accounting systems vary in the number of days in a month or a year used in calculations. The
following table gives the integers used for the basis parameter used in some of the financial
analysis functions.
Table 36: Basis calculation types
Basis Calculation
0 or missing US method (NASD), 12 months of 30 days each.
1 Exact number of days in months, exact number of days in year.
2 Exact number of days in month, year has 360 days.
3 Exact number of days in month, year has 365 days.

Calculates the accrued interest of a security in the case of
periodic payments. Issue is the issue date of the security.
First_interest is the first interest date of the security.
Settlement is the maturity date. Rate is the annual nominal
rate of interest (coupon interest rate). Par is the par value of
the security. Frequency is the number of interest payments
per year (1, 2 or 4). Basis indicates how the year is to be
calculated.
Calculates the accrued interest of a security in the case of
one-off payment at the settlement date. Issue is the issue
date of the security. Settlement is the maturity date. Rate is
the annual nominal rate of interest (coupon interest rate). Par
is the par value of the security. Basis indicates how the year
is to be calculated.
Calculates the amount of depreciation for a settlement period
as degressive amortization. Unlike AMORLINC, a
depreciation coefficient that is independent of the depreciable
life is used here. Cost is the acquisition cost.
Date_purchased is the date of acquisition. First_period is
the end date of the first settlement period. Salvage is the
salvage value of the capital asset at the end of the
depreciable life. Period is the settlement period to be
considered. Rate is the rate of depreciation. Basis indicates
how the year is to be calculated.
Calculates the amount of depreciation for a settlement period
as linear amortization. If the capital asset is purchased during
the settlement period, the proportional amount of
depreciation is considered. Cost is the acquisition cost.
Date_purchased is the date of acquisition. First_period is
the end date of the first settlement period. Salvage is the
salvage value of the capital asset at the end of the
depreciable life. Period is the settlement period to be
considered. Rate is the rate of depreciation. Basis indicates
how the year is to be calculated.
