fin_needs {businessPlanR}

Estimate capital requirement from cash flow

Description

To avoid cash flow issues, this function takes a data frame as returned by condense with cashflow=TRUE to calculate the amount of financial needs per time resolution.

Usage

fin_needs(
  cashflow_df,
  resolution = c("year", "quarter", "month"),
  row_names = c("Financial needs", "Cumulative")
)

Arguments

cashflow_df

Data frame as returned by condense with cashflow=TRUE.

resolution

One of "month", "quarter", or "year". Must be identical to the value used with the call to condense!

row_names

Character vector of two, names for the rows of the resulting data frame. The first represents financial need per time period (column), the second is cumulated over all columns.

Details

Only negative values are returned, so the row sum can be used as an estimate of the overall financial demand for the given period of time.

Value

A data frame with two rows and columns depending on resolution and period covered by cashflow_df.
