REMARKS

* For an illustrated example refer to the Depreciation page.
* This function is used with the French accounting system.
* This function is identical to the AMORDEGRC function except that there is no depreciation coefficient applied in the calculation.
* The value of an asset at the end of the depreciation is also known as the salvage value.
* Dates must be entered as text strings within quotation marks or as serial numbers.
* If "cost" < "salvage", then #NUM! is returned.
* If "basis" is left blank, then 0 is used.
* If "basis" is not an integer, it is truncated.
* If "basis" < 0, then #NUM! is returned.
* If "basis" > 4, then #NUM! is returned.
* If an asset is purchased in the middle of an accounting period then the pro-rated depreciation is taken into account.
* You can use the AMORDEGRC function to return the depreciation of an asset in a single period.
