VDB(C, Salvage, L, SP, EP, Factor, NSwitch)

  • Where 'C' is the initial cost of the asset
  • 'Salvage' is the value at the end of the depreciation
  • 'L' is the number of periods over which the asset is depreciated
  • 'SP' , 'EP' are the starting and ending periods to calculate the depreciation
  • 'factor' is the rate at which the balance declines
  • 'NSwitch' is a logical value specifying whether to switch to straight-line depreciation when depreciation is greater than the declining balance calculation.

Description

This function computes the depreciation of an asset for any period you specify, using the double-declining balance method. SYD is calculated as follows: VDB Lets see an example,
