AgivenF: Annual value given Future value (Engineering Economics)

Description

Compute A given F

Usage

AgivenF(
  F,
  n,
  i,
  frequency = c("annual", "semiannual", "quarter", "bimonth", "month", "daily")
)

AF( F, n, i, frequency = c("annual", "semiannual", "quarter", "bimonth", "month", "daily") )

Arguments

F

numeric vector that contains the future 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)]

Value

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

AF data.frame of both n (0 to n) and the resulting annual values rounded to 2 decimal places

Details

A is expressed as

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

A

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

F

the "future equivalent"

i

the "effective interest rate per interest period"

n

the "number of interest periods"
