Functions =AVERAGE(B1:B4) =MAX(C1:C5) =MIN(D1:D4) =SUM(E1:E4) =PRODUCT(F1:F4) =QUOTIENT(G1,G2)
Division • You need to put in the cell designations for the • Numerator • Demoninator
Other arithmetic functions • SUM • Addition =sum(a1+a2) • Subtraction =sum(a1-a2) • Multiplication =sum(a1*a2) • Division =sum(a1/a2) • SYD = depreciation
SYD(cost,salvage,life,per) • Cost is the initial cost of the asset. • Salvage is the value at the end of the depreciation (sometimes called the salvage value of the asset). • Life is the number of periods over which the asset is being depreciated (sometimes called the useful life of the asset). • Per is the period and must use the same units as life.
If you've bought a truck for $30,000 that has a useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $7,500, the yearly depreciation allowance for the first year is: • SYD(30000,7500,10,1) equals $4,090.91 The yearly depreciation allowance for the tenth year is: SYD(30000,7500,10,10) equals $409.09
