Calculations
Under Calculations you can define how the Planon RE Assets application should process calculations.
You can specify calculations in the following areas:
• Calculations day-based or month-based
◦ Days - The system calculates based on the actual number of days between two dates, allowing for more precise time-value-of-money calculations.
◦ Months - Each month is treated as having equal value, regardless of the number of days in the month.
• NPV method – Defines how cash flows are positioned over time when calculating Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR):
◦ Begin of month - All cash flows in a month are assumed to occur at the beginning of the month.
◦ Cash flow - Cash flows are discounted based on their actual dates relative to the reference date.
◦ End of month - All cash flows in a month are assumed to occur at the end of the month.
◦ Mid of month - All cash flows in a month are assumed to occur in the middle of the month.
• Turnover frequency indefinite period contracts
◦ Cash flow - Contracts can turn over at the same frequency as their cash flow periods, provided the relet term has passed. Example: A contract with a 12% annual turnover rate, a monthly cash flow period, and a 12-month relet term would result in a 1% turnover per month. However, turnover is blocked during the relet term.
◦ End forecast year - Turnover is applied once per year at the end of the forecast year.
◦ Mid forecast year - Turnover is applied once per year in the middle of the forecast year.
◦ Start forecast year - Turnover is applied once per year at the beginning of each forecast year.
• Expiry date indefinite period contracts
◦ Actual expiry date - Turnover is first allowed at the expiry date, which may be provided or calculated (e.g., based on a notice period).
◦ Ignore expiry date - Turnover can start immediately from the beginning of the forecast period, ignoring the expiry date.
• Calculated strategy
◦ Turnover - Privatization is not considered. Related fields are hidden, and turnover is the only available strategy when system strategies are applied.
◦ Turnover & Privatization - Both strategies are available.
- If custom strategies are selected in the process configuration, privatization is only calculated when relevant input fields are provided.
- If system strategies are selected, the strategy contains one of three options: turnover, privatization, or the option with the highest outcome based on the net capital value.
• Turnover & privatization rate settings (configured per process type) allow users to define tenant turnover rates and privatization rates for current lessees. These rates can be set at the property, contract, or rentable unit type level. For rentable unit types, the predominant type is determined based on estimated rental value.
