Syntax Description
RATE(NPER; PMT; PV; FV; type;
guess)
RECEIVED(settlement; maturity;
investment; discount; basis)
Returns the constant interest rate per period of an annuity.
NPER is the total number of periods, during which payments
are made (payment period). PMT is the constant payment
(annuity) paid during each period. PV is the cash value in the
sequence of payments. FV (optional) is the future value,
which is reached at the end of the periodic payments. Type
(optional) defines whether the payment is due at the
beginning (1) or the end (0) of a period. Guess (optional)
determines the estimated value of the interest with iterative
calculation.
Calculates the amount received that is paid for a fixedinterest
security at a given point in time. Settlement is the
date of purchase of the security. Maturity is the date on
which the security matures. Investment is the purchase sum.
Discount is the percentage discount on acquisition of the
security. Basis indicates how the year is to be calculated.
RRI(P; PV; FV) Calculates the interest rate resulting from the profit (return) of
an investment. P is the number of periods needed for
calculating the interest rate. PV is the present value (must be
>0). FV is determines what is desired as the cash value of
the deposit.
SLN(cost; salvage; life) Returns the straight-line depreciation of an asset for one
period. The amount of the depreciation is constant during the
depreciation period. Cost is the initial cost of an asset.
Salvage is the value of an asset at the end of the
depreciation. Life is the depreciation period determining the
number of periods in the depreciation of the asset.
SYD(cost; salvage; life; period) Returns the arithmetic-declining depreciation rate. Use this
function to calculate the depreciation amount for one period
of the total depreciation span of an object. Arithmetic
declining depreciation reduces the depreciation amount from
period to period by a fixed sum. Cost is the initial cost of an
asset. Salvage is the value of an asset after depreciation.
Life is the period fixing the time span over which an asset is
depreciated. Period defines the period for which the
depreciation is to be calculated.
TBILLEQ(settlement; maturity;
discount)
TBILLPRICE(settlement; maturity;
discount)
TBILLYIELD(settlement; maturity;
price)
Calculates the annual return on a treasury bill. Settlement
is the date of purchase of the security. Maturity is the date
on which the security matures (expires). (The settlement and
maturity date must be in the same year.) Discount is the
percentage discount on acquisition of the security.
Calculates the price of a treasury bill per 100 currency units.
Settlement is the date of purchase of the security. Maturity
is the date on which the security matures (expires). Discount
is the percentage discount upon acquisition of the security.
Calculates the yield of a treasury bill. Settlement is the date
of purchase of the security. Maturity is the date on which the
