In iemisc: Irucka Embry's Miscellaneous Functions

Annual value given Gradient value (Engineering Economics)

Description

Compute A given G

Usage

AgivenG(
  G,
  n,
  i,
  frequency = c("annual", "semiannual", "quarter", "bimonth", "month", "daily")
)

Arguments

G	numeric vector that contains the gradient value(s)
n	numeric vector that contains the period value(s)
i	numeric vector that contains the interest rate(s) as a percent
frequency	character vector that contains the frequency used to obtain the number of periods [annual (1), semiannual (2), quarter (4), bimonth (6), month (12), daily (365)]

Details

A = G\left[\frac{1}{i} - \frac{n}{\left(1 + i\right)^n - 1}\right]

A

the "uniform series amount (occurs at the end of each interest period)"

G

the "uniform gradient amount"

i

the "effective interest rate per interest period"

n

the "number of interest periods"

Value

AgivenG numeric vector that contains the annual value(s) rounded to 2 decimal places

# Example 4-20 from the Reference text (pages 153-154)
  AgivenG(1000, 4, 15, "annual") # the interest rate is 15\%

  AgivenG(1000, 4, 20, "semiannual") # the nominal interest rate is 20\% compounded semiannually
