Hi,
Could somebody explain how to implement the following formula in object pascal code please? Sticky point is implementing (^) power bit.
y = a(1 + r)^x
where:
y = future compounded value
a = initial value
r = growth rate
x = number of periods

Take a look at the Power() function (unit math).

Go to Lazarus and do Project > New Project > select Simple Program and copy this (hope the formula is OK typed, else fix it yourself):
program Project1;
Code: Pascal

@tMinusZero
Look in the Math unit. It has some basic financial functions that can help you with
capital budgeting
calculations. You can use them to put together more complicated equations.
Code: Pascal
[Select]
[+]
[-]
{ Financial functions }
function
FutureValue
(
ARate
:
Float
;
NPeriods
:
Integer
;
APayment
,
APresentValue
:
Float
;
APaymentTime
:
TPaymentTime
)
:
Float
;
function
InterestRate
(
NPeriods
:
Integer
;
APayment
,
APresentValue
,
AFutureValue
:
Float
;
APaymentTime
:
TPaymentTime
)
:
Float
;
function
NumberOfPeriods
(
ARate
,
APayment
,
APresentValue
,
AFutureValue
:
Float
;
APaymentTime
:
TPaymentTime
)
:
Float
;
function
Payment
(
ARate
:
Float
;
NPeriods
:
Integer
;
APresentValue
,
AFutureValue
:
Float
;
APaymentTime
:
TPaymentTime
)
:
Float
;
function
PresentValue
(
ARate
:
Float
;
NPeriods
:
Integer
;
APayment
,
AFutureValue
:
Float
;
APaymentTime
:
TPaymentTime
)
:
Float
;
You are looking for the future value of y so use the FutureValue function OR the solution
lainz
proposed above.
