In the following example, you will plan costs of $10,000 each for August and October 1999. The costs will be planned exactly by period - that is, the costs are expected to occur in the middle of August and October. This results in a planned interest calculation as follows:

• Calculation of planned interest on $10,000 from August 16 to 31.
• Calculation of planned interest on $10,000 (plus calculated interest) from September 1 to 30.
• From October 16, 1999, the planned interest calculation covers the costs expected to occur in October. This results in a planned interest calculation as follows:
• Calculation of planned interest on $10,000 plus calculated interest from October 1 to 15.
• Calculation of planned interest on $20.000 plus calculated interest from October 16 to 31.

The system displays the interim balance for each balancing object.

The basic finish date maintained for the balancing object is December 31, 1999. This is, therefore, the finish date for the interest calculation also.

There is a bank calendar (30 days for each month) for the example.
