Financial Functions Part Two

PPMT function PPMT Returns for a given period the payment on the principal for an investment that is based on periodic and constant payments and a constant interest rate. Syntax PPMT(Rate; Period; NPer; PV; FV; Type) Rate is the periodic interest rate. Period is the amortizement period. P = 1 for the first and P = NPer for the last period. NPer is the total number of periods during which annuity is paid. PV is the present value in the sequence of payments. FV (optional) is the desired (future) value. Type (optional) defines the due date. F = 1 for payment at the beginning of a period and F = 0 for payment at the end of a period. Example How high is the periodic monthly payment at an annual interest rate of 8.75% over a period of 3 years? The cash value is 5,000 currency units and is always paid at the beginning of a period. The future value is 8,000 currency units. =PPMT(8.75%/12;1;36;5000;8000;1) = -350.99 currency units.

calculating; total amortizement rates total amortizement rates amortization installment repayment installment CUMPRINC function mw added two entries CUMPRINC Returns the cumulative interest paid for an investment period with a constant interest rate. Syntax CUMPRINC(Rate; NPer; PV; S; E; Type) Rate is the periodic interest rate. NPer is the payment period with the total number of periods. NPER can also be a non-integer value. PV is the current value in the sequence of payments. S is the first period. E is the last period. Type is the due date of the payment at the beginning or end of each period. Example What are the payoff amounts if the yearly interest rate is 5.5% for 36 months? The cash value is 15,000 currency units. The payoff amount is calculated between the 10th and 18th period. The due date is at the end of the period. =CUMPRINC(5.5%/12;36;15000;10;18;0) = -3669.74 currency units. The payoff amount between the 10th and 18th period is 3669.74 currency units.

CUMPRINC_ADD function CUMPRINC_ADD Calculates the cumulative redemption of a loan in a period.

Syntax CUMPRINC_ADD(Rate; NPer; PV; StartPeriod; EndPeriod; Type) Rate is the interest rate for each period. NPer is the total number of payment periods. The rate and NPER must refer to the same unit, and thus both be calculated annually or monthly. PV is the current value. StartPeriod is the first payment period for the calculation. EndPeriod is the last payment period for the calculation. Type is the maturity of a payment at the end of each period (Type = 0) or at the start of the period (Type = 1). Example The following mortgage loan is taken out on a house: Rate: 9.00 per cent per annum (9% / 12 = 0.0075), Duration: 30 years (payment periods = 30 * 12 = 360), NPV: 125000 currency units. How much will you repay in the second year of the mortgage (thus from periods 13 to 24)? =CUMPRINC_ADD(0.0075;360;125000;13;24;0) returns -934.1071 In the first month you will be repaying the following amount: =CUMPRINC_ADD(0.0075;360;125000;1;1;0) returns -68.27827

Syntax CUMIPMT(Rate; NPer; PV; S; E; Type) Rate is the periodic interest rate. NPer is the payment period with the total number of periods. NPER can also be a non-integer value. PV is the current value in the sequence of payments. S is the first period. E is the last period. Type is the due date of the payment at the beginning or end of each period. Example What are the interest payments at a yearly interest rate of 5.5 %, a payment period of monthly payments for 2 years and a current cash value of 5,000 currency units? The start period is the 4th and the end period is the 6th period. The payment is due at the beginning of each period. =CUMIPMT(5.5%/12;24;5000;4;6;1) = -57.54 currency units. The interest payments for between the 4th and 6th period are 57.54 currency units.

CUMIPMT_ADD function CUMIPMT_ADD Calculates the accumulated interest for a period.

Syntax CUMIPMT_ADD(Rate; NPer; PV; StartPeriod; EndPeriod; Type) Rate is the interest rate for each period. NPer is the total number of payment periods. The rate and NPER must refer to the same unit, and thus both be calculated annually or monthly. PV is the current value. StartPeriod is the first payment period for the calculation. EndPeriod is the last payment period for the calculation. Type is the maturity of a payment at the end of each period (Type = 0) or at the start of the period (Type = 1). Example The following mortgage loan is taken out on a house: Rate: 9.00 per cent per annum (9% / 12 = 0.0075), Duration: 30 years (NPER = 30 * 12 = 360), Pv: 125000 currency units. How much interest must you pay in the second year of the mortgage (thus from periods 13 to 24)? =CUMIPMT_ADD(0.0075;360;125000;13;24;0) returns -11135.23. How much interest must you pay in the first month? =CUMIPMT_ADD(0.0075;360;125000;1;1;0) returns -937.50.

PRICE function prices; fixed interest securities sales values;fixed interest securities mw added two entries PRICE Calculates the market value of a fixed interest security with a par value of 100 currency units as a function of the forecast yield. Syntax PRICE(Settlement; Maturity; Rate; Yield; Redemption; Frequency; Basis) Settlement is the date of purchase of the security. Maturity is the date on which the security matures (expires).

calculating; durations durations;calculating DURATION function DURATION Calculates the number of periods required by an investment to attain the desired value. Syntax DURATION(Rate; PV; FV) Rate is a constant. The interest rate is to be calculated for the entire duration (duration period). The interest rate per period is calculated by dividing the interest rate by the calculated duration. The internal rate for an annuity is to be entered as Rate/12. PV is the present (current) value. 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 is the expected value. The future value determines the desired (future) value of the deposit. Example At an interest rate of 4.75%, a cash value of 25,000 currency units and a future value of 1,000,000 currency units, a duration of 79.49 payment periods is returned. The periodic payment is the resulting quotient from the future value and the duration, in this case 1,000,000/79.49=12,850.20.

calculating;linear depreciations depreciations;linear linear depreciations straight-line depreciations SLN function mw added one entry SLN Returns the straight-line depreciation of an asset for one period.The amount of the depreciation is constant during the depreciation period. Syntax SLN(Cost; Salvage; Life) Cost is the initial cost of an asset. Salvage is the value of an asset at the end of the depreciation.

Example Office equipment with an initial cost of 50,000 currency units is to be depreciated over 7 years. The value at the end of the depreciation is to be 3,500 currency units. =SLN(50000;3,500;84) = 553.57 currency units. The periodic monthly depreciation of the office equipment is 553.57 currency units.

Using daily balance interest calculation (basis 3) how long is the modified duration? =MDURATION("2001-01-01"; "2006-01-01"; 0.08; 0.09; 2; 3) returns 4.02 years.

calculating;net present values net present values NPV function NPV Returns the present value of an investment based on a series of periodic cash flows and a discount rate. To get the net present value, subtract the cost of the project (the initial cash flow at time zero) from the returned value. Syntax NPV(Rate; Value1; Value2; ...) Rate is the discount rate for a period. Value1;... are up to 30 values, which represent deposits or withdrawals. Example What is the net present value of periodic payments of 10, 20 and 30 currency units with a discount rate of 8.75%. At time zero the costs were payed as -40 currency units. =NPV(8.75%;10;20;30) = 49.43 currency units. The net present value is the returned value minus the initial costs of 40 currency units, therefore 9.43 currency units.
