| DDB Function | Microsoft.VisualBasic.Financial |
DDB(cost, salvage, life, period[, factor]) |
|
cost required; Double
The initial cost of the asset
salvage required; Double
The value of the asset at the end of life
life required; Double
Length of life of the asset
period required; Double
Period for which the depreciation is to be calculated
factor optional; Double
The rate at which the asset balance declines. If omitted, 2 (double-declining method) is assumed; however, the documentation doesn't mention what other values are supported or what they mean
Return Value
Double representing the depreciation of an asset
Description
Returns a Double representing the depreciation of an asset for a specific time period. This is done using the double-declining balance method or another method that you specify using the factor argument.
The double-declining balance calculates depreciation at a differential rate, which varies inversely with the age of the asset. Depreciation is highest at the beginning of an asset's life and declines over time.

Specifies whether payments are due at the start or the end of the period. The value can be DueDate.BegOfPeriod or DueDate.EndOfPeriod (the default).

Calculates the internal rate of return for a series of periodic cash flows (payments and receipts).
The internal rate of return is the interest rate generated by an investment consisting of payments and receipts that occur at regular intervals. It is generally compared to a "hurdle rate," or a minimum return, to determine whether a particular investment should be made.
