Evaluate(Object[]) Method

In This Topic

Returns the System.Double amount an asset depreciates in a single period using different declining balance methods.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Overrides Function Evaluate( _
   ByVal args() As Object _
) As Object

'Usage
 
Dim instance As CalcVdbFunction
Dim args() As Object
Dim value As Object
 
value = instance.Evaluate(args)

public override object Evaluate( 
   object[] args
)

Parameters

args

The args contains 5 - 7 items: cost, salvage, life, start_period, end_period, [factor], [no_switch].

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). This value can be 0.

Life is the number of periods over which the asset is depreciated (sometimes called the useful life of the asset).

Start_period is the starting period for which you want to calculate the depreciation. Start_period must use the same units as life.

End_period is the ending period for which you want to calculate the depreciation. End_period must use the same units as life.

Factor is the rate at which the balance declines.

No_switch is a logical value specifying whether to switch to straight-line depreciation when depreciation is greater than the declining balance calculation.

Return Value

A System.Double value that indicates the evaluate result.
