It is split into - /libgnucash (for the non-gui bits) - /gnucash (for the gui) - /common (misc source files used by both) - /bindings (currently only holds python bindings) This is the first step in restructuring the code. It will need much more fine tuning later on.

<h1>Constant Repayment to Principal Equations Derivation</h1>
|
|
<p>In this loan, each total payment is different, with each succeeding payment
|
|
less than the preceding payment. Each payment is the total of the constant
|
|
amount to the principal plus the interest for the period. The constant payment
|
|
to the principal is computed as:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
C = -PV / N
|
|
|
|
<p>Where PV is the loan amount to be repaid in N payments (periods). Thus the
|
|
principal after the first payment is:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
PV[1] = PV[0] + C = PV + C
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>after the second payment, the principal is:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
PV[2] = PV[1] + C = PV[0] + 2C
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>In general, the remaining principal after n payments is:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
PV[n] = PV[0] + nC = PV + nC
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the effective interest per payment period is i, then the interest for the
|
|
first payment is:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
I[1] = -i*PV[0]
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>and for the second:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
I[2] = -i * PV[1]
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>and in general, for the n'th payment the interest is:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
I[n] = -i * PV[n-1]
|
|
= -i * (PV + (n - 1)C)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The total payment for any period, n, is:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
P[n] = C + I[n]
|
|
= C - i * (PV + (n - 1)C)
|
|
= C(1 + i) - i * (PV + nC)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The total interest paid to period n is:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
T[n] = I[1] + I[2] + I[3] + ... + I[n]
|
|
T[n] = sum(j = 1 to n: I[j])
|
|
T[n] = sum(j = 1 to n: -i * (PV + (j-1)C))
|
|
T[n] = sum(j=1 to n: -i*PV) + sum(j=1 to n: iC) + sum(j=1 to n: -iCj)
|
|
T[n] = -i*n*PV + i*n*C - i*C*sum(j=1 to n:j)
|
|
sum(j=1 to n:j) = n(n+1)/2
|
|
T[n] = -i*n*(PV + C) - i*C*n(n+1)/2
|
|
T[n] = -i*n*(PV + (C*(n - 1)/2))
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note: substituing for C = -PV/N, in the equations for PV[n], I[n], P[n], and T[n]
|
|
would give the following equations:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
PV[n] = PV*(1 - n/N)
|
|
I[n] = -i*PV*(1 + N - n)/N
|
|
P[n] = -i*PV*(2 + N - n)/N
|
|
T[n] = -i*n*PV*(2*N - n + 1)/(2*N)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Using these equations for the calculations would eliminate the dependence
|
|
on C, but only if C is always defined as above and would eliminate the
|
|
possibility of another value for C. If the value of C was less than -PV/N
|
|
then a balloon payment would be due at the final payment and this is a possible
|
|
alternative for some people.
