vdb

Variable-declining-balance depreciation between two periods.

v = vdb(cost, salvage, life, start_period, end_period, factor, no_switch)

Returns the depreciation accumulated between start_period and end_period using a declining-balance method that switches to straight-line when the latter would yield more (unless no_switch = true).

vdb(2400, 300, 10, 0, 1)
  • ddb — Double-declining-balance depreciation.
