Return on Assests (Gesamtkapitalrendite) calculation

[Vishnu]

Hey could you please let me know how PVSol calculates Return on Assets (Gesamtkapitalrendite). I have checked the Financial analysis in the PVSol Help but could not find any formula that PVSol uses to calculate it.

Danke!!

Hi Vishnu,

thank you for your question. We calculate the Return on Assets (german: Gesamtkapitalrendite) with the internal rate of return (interner Zinsfuß). In the old help files, this information was provided in the glossary:

http://3d-help.valentin-software.com/pvsol/en/#t=html%2Fen%2FBegriffe.htm&rhsearch=internal rate of return&rhsyns= &rhhlterm=internal rate of return

We will add this information to the new help files. Thank you for pointing us to the missing info.

Here is more on the method to calculate the internal rate of return: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_rate_of_return

Hope that helps, kind regards,

Martin
