Modeling Accounting Ledgers

Post by Ifeanyi »

Please what discrete function can I use to ensure that the flow into a stock is not constant prompting the stock to increase linearly. I am trying to model accounting ledgers whose values are discrete (occur once and stop) not continuous. For example how can I make a value of say 500 go into the stock without the stock increasing in 500s? What function can be used?

Try something like this.

stock increase = IF THEN ELSE ( time to trigger stock increase = time , amount to enter stock / time step , 0 )
