X++ business runtime functions

This article describes the business run-time functions.

These functions enter financial data and calculate formulas.

cTerm

Calculates the number of periods that are required for the current investment value to yield a target value.

Syntax

real cTerm(real interest, real future_value, real current_value)

Parameters

Parameter Description
interest The interest rate.
future_value The target value.
current_value The current investment value.

Return value

The number of periods that are required in order to reach future_value.

Remarks

The current_value and future_value parameters must have the same prefixed sign (plus or minus).

Example

static void cTermExample(Args _arg)
{
    real r;
    ;
    r = cTerm(10.0, 500.00, 100.00);
    print "The cTerm is " + num2Str(r, 2, 2, 1, 1);
    pause;
}

ddb

Calculates the accelerated depreciation of an asset.

Syntax

real ddb(real price, real scrap, real life, int period)

Parameters

Parameter Description
price The purchase price of the asset.
scrap The residual value of the asset that has been written off.
life The expected lifetime of the asset.
period The period to calculate depreciation over.

Return value

The depreciation of the asset.

Remarks

The book value for a specific period is equal to the purchase price minus the accumulated depreciation for previous periods:

  • Book value for Period 1 = Price
  • Book value for Period 2 = Book value for Period 1 – Depreciation for Period 1
  • Book value for Period n = Book value for Period (n–1) – Depreciation for Period (n–1)

There are three variations for the calculation of depreciation: If Period > Life:

  • Depreciation = 0

If (Book value for Period n) – ((Book value for Period n) × 2 ÷ Life) < Residual value:

  • Depreciation = (Book value for Period n) – Residual value

In all other cases: Depreciation = (Book value for Period n) × 2 ÷ Life The syd and sln functions also calculate the depreciation of an asset. The syd and ddb functions enables higher depreciation for the earlier years, whereas sln calculates a linear depreciation.

ddb(12000,2000,10,1); //Returns the value 2400.
ddb(12000,2000,10,3); //Returns the value 1536.

dg

Calculates the contribution ratio, which is based on the sales price and the purchase price. If the value of the sale parameter is 0.0, the calculation can't be done.

Syntax

real dg(real sale, real purchase)

Parameters

Parameter Description
sale The sale price.
purchase The purchase price.

Return value

The contribution ratio.

Remarks

dg(1000,300); //Returns the value 0.7.
dg(100,30); //Returns the value 0.7.
dg(20000, 11000); //Returns the value 0.45.

fV

Calculates the future value of an investment.

Syntax

real fV(real amount, real interest, real life)

Parameters

Parameter Description
amount The amount that was paid in during each period.
interest The interest rate.
life The number of investment periods.

Return value

The future value of the investment.

Remarks

fV(100,0.14,10); //Returns the value 1933.73.
fV(400,0.10,5); //Returns the value 2442.04.

idg

Calculates the sale price, based on the purchase price and the contribution ratio.

real idg(real purchase, real contribution_ratio)

Parameters

Parameter Description
purchase The purchase price.
contribution_ratio The contribution ratio.

Return value

The sale price.

Remarks

If the contribution ratio is equal to 1.0, the calculation can't be done. The idg function is the inverse of the dg function.

idg(300,0.7); //Returns the value 1000.
idg(11000,0.45); //Returns the value 20000.

intvMax

Retrieves the number of intervals for the specified period when the period is divided into parts as specified by the func parameter.

int intvMax(date input_date, date ref_date, int func)

Parameters

Parameter Description
input_date The end of the period, which must be later than the ref_date parameter.
ref_date The start of the period.
func A IntvScale system enumeration value that indicates the division unit.

Remarks

Here are the possible values for the func parameter:

  • None
  • YearMonthDay
  • YearMonth
  • Year
  • MonthDay
  • Month

    date refDate = str2Date("4/9/2007", 213);
    date inputDate = str2Date("10/5/2007", 213);
    int numberOfIntervals;
    ;
    numberOfIntervals = intvMax(inputDate, refDate, intvScale::YearMonth);
    print numberOfIntervals;
    pause;
}

intvName

Returns the name of the interval that is the specified number of intervals ahead of the specified date.

str intvName(date input_date, int col, enum func)

Parameters

Remarks

For example, if the func parameter is the IntvScale::WeekDay enumeration value, this method returns the name of the weekday. If the func parameter is the IntvScale::Week enumeration value, this method returns a string that contains the number of the week.

Example

static void intvNameExample(Args _args)
{
    date refDate = 2672010;
    str name;
    ;
    name = intvName(refDate, 3,  intvScale::WeekDay);
    Global::info(strfmt("%1 is the output, which indicates the day of the week 3 days after 26\7\2010.", name));

    int noOfIntervals;
    ;
    noOfIntervals = intvNo(refDate, inputDate, intvScale::Month);
    print noOfIntervals;
    pause;

sln

Retrieves the constant depreciation amount for the specified asset for each depreciation period.

Syntax

real sln(real price, real scrap, real life)

Parameters

Parameter Description
price The purchase price of the asset.
scrap The scrap value of the asset.
life The number of periods in the expected life of the asset.

Return value

The depreciation amount.

Example

static void slnExample(Args _arg)
{
    real r;
    ;
    r = sln(100.00, 50.00, 50.00);
    print r;
    pause;
}

syd

Calculates the depreciation of an asset over a specified period.

Syntax

real syd(real _price, real _scrap, real _life, int _period)

Parameters

Parameter Description
_price The purchase price of the asset.
_scrap The scrap value of the asset.
_life The expected life of the asset (the number of periods).
_period The period to calculate depreciation for.

Return value

The amount of depreciation over the specified period.

Remarks

In contrast to the sln function, the syd function can allow for an accelerated depreciation of the asset. As with the ddb function, this enables higher depreciation during the early periods of the life of an asset.

Example

In the following examples, the periodic depreciation is calculated for an asset that has a purchase price of 10,000, a scrap value of 2,000, and a life of 5. In comparison, sln(10000,2000,5) would calculate 1600.00 for each period.

// Returns the value 2666.67 (for the 1st period).
syd(10000,2000,5,1);
// Returns the value 2133.33 (for the 2nd period).
syd(10000,2000,5,2);
// Returns the value 1600.00 (for the 3rd period).
syd(10000,2000,5,3);
// Returns the value 1066.67 (for the 4th period).
syd(10000,2000,5,4);
// Returns the value 533.33 (for 5th - and final- period).
syd(10000,2000,5,5);

term

Parameters

Parameter Description
amount The amount of the periodic investment.
interest The interest rate for each period.
future_value The future value that is anticipated for the investment

Return value

The number of periods that the investment must run for.

Example

static void termExample(Args _args)
{
    print term(400,0.08,5000);  //returns the value '9.01'.
    print term(100,0.14,3000);  //returns the value '12.58'.
    pause;
}
