Calculators

This section describes how to calculate the value of fixed rate securities and annuities and describes how to calculate the regular payment amount for annuities.

Annuities Calculator

The annuities calculator is a tool that you can use to determine the value of a loan or investment for your company. You use the annuities calculator to calculate the payment amounts that you must make to pay the balance of an annuity at a set time in the future. For example, you can use the annuities calculator to calculate the monthly payment amount for a 5-year, $10,000 mortgage at 10% interest.

Using the annuity calculator, you can determine whether or not you should enter into a new loan or investment; or you can compare the actual value of your existing loans and investments against their current value.

Calculating Annuity Payments

Use the Annuity Calculator window to calculate the amount of your annuity payments.

To calculate an annuity payment amount

  1. In the Annuity Calculator window, choose the Loan Repayment or Investment option.

  2. In the Start Amount field, enter the principal amount of the annuity.

  3. Enter a current, applicable interest rate for the annuity.

  4. Enter the start date and maturity date for the annuity.

  5. In the Payment Freq field, select how often you intend to make payments.

    The Payments per Year, Next Interest Date, Number of Years, and Total Payments field values are automatically calculated. Use these fields only for verification purposes.

  6. Choose the rounding rule that you want to use to calculate interest in the Interest Rounding field. The possible choices are: Nearest, Round Up, or Round Down.

  7. Save your work.

    The calculated annuity payment amount appears in the Payment Amount field in the Calculation Result region.

Calculating Annuity Starting Amounts

Fixed Income Securities Calculator

The fixed income securities calculator is a tool you can use to calculate the current value of a fixed income security.

Calculating the Value of Fixed Income Securities

Use the Fixed Income Securities Calculator window to calculate the current value of a fixed income security.

To calculate the current value of a fixed income security

  1. If you want to calculate the current value of a fixed income security that you have already entered in the Bond Issues window, in the Bond Issue field, select a bond issue code.

    The information for the specified bond issue automatically appears. For more on bond issues, see: Bond Issues.

  2. If you want to calculate the current value for a new fixed income security, leave the Bond Issue field blank and do the following:

    • In the Coupon Type field, choose a coupon type.

    • In the Calculation Precision field, choose a calculation precision type.

    • In the Day Count Basis field, choose a day count basis for the deal. The day count basis is the number of days per year used to calculate interest on the deal. The possible day count bases are: actual/actual, actual/360, actual/365, actual/actual-bond, actual/365L, 30/360, 30E/360, 30E+/360. For more information on how each day count basis is calculated, see: Treasury Terms.

    • In the Settlement Date field, enter a settlement date for the deal.

    • If the coupon type is Compound Coupon, in the Start Date field enter a start date for the bond.

    • In the Maturity Date field, enter a maturity date for the bond.

    • In the Coupon Rate field, enter the coupon rate that is applicable for the bond.

    • In the Face Value field, enter the face value for the security.

    • In the Coupon Frequency field, choose the frequency that the bond pays a coupon. The choices are: Monthly, Bi Monthly, Quarterly, Quadrimestrial, Semi Annual, and Annual.

    • In the Coupon Status field, choose a coupon status for the deal. If the bond issue or the coupon type is Compound Coupon, Treasury sets the non-updateable coupon status to Cum-dividend and disables the Previous and Next Coupon Date fields. If the bond issue or coupon type is Zero Coupon, the Coupon Status field is disabled.

      The previous coupon date and the next coupon date are automatically calculated using Settlement Date, Maturity Date, Frequency and Coupon Status and appear in the Previous Coupon Date and Next Coupon Date fields.

    • In the Accuracy field of the Price Display region, enter the number of decimal places you want to display for the price.

    • In the Rounding Type field of the Price Display region, choose the rounding rule that you want to use to display the price. The possible choices are: Nearest or Round Down.

    • In the Accuracy field of the Yield Display region, enter the number of decimal places you want to display for the yield.

  3. Enter one of the following values, and the other values are automatically calculated:

    • Clean Price: The clean price quoted on a price per $100 basis.

    • Accrued Price: A price component used to calculate the accrued interest dollar amount per $100.

    • Total Price: The clean price plus accrued price.

    • Yield Rate: The clean price quoted on a yield basis.

      Using the price you enter, the clean price and the consideration amount for the security are automatically calculated. If this is a floating coupon, this field is called Discount Margin.

  4. Choose the day that you want to include when you calculate interest on the deal in the Interest Includes field. The possible choices are: First Day, Last Day, or Both Days.

    Note: If you select Both Days for Interest Includes, you cannot use the 30/360, 30E/360, or 30+/360 day count basis.

    At the bottom of the Fixed Income Securities Calculator window, several pieces of information also appear.

    • The Number of Coupons Remaining field displays the number of coupons that remain for the security.

    • The Prev Coupon Date Until Settlement (in days) field displays the number of days that remain between the previous coupon date and the settlement date.

    • The Settlement Date to Next Coupon Date (in days) field displays the number of days from the settlement date to the next coupon date.

Bank Accounts

This section describes how to manage your account balances and interest rates, perform inter-account transfers, and reconcile your bank accounts.

Bank Account Balances

Use the Bank Account Interest Settlement window to view your bank account balances and to settle the interest accrued on your interest bearing bank accounts

Bank balances are collected from your company, intercompany group, and interest setoff bank accounts. These balances are used to calculate your cash position. See: Cash Positioning, Oracle Cash Management User Guide.

Assigning Portfolios, Pricing Models and Limits to Bank Accounts

Optionally you can assign the Pricing model before working with bank balances in Treasury. You must assign a portfolio and a pricing model to each bank account. Portfolios are necessary for calculating interest on the bank account balance. Pricing models are used in the revaluation process. Limits are optional and used to calculate the limit utilization. Normally, you would complete this step during the company bank account setup. For more information on portfolios, see: Portfolio Codes.

To assign portfolio, pricing model and limits to a bank accoun

  1. On the Cash Management Bank Account page, create or query an existing bank account. For more information, see Setting Up Company Bank Accounts

  2. Navigate to the Account Access page and choose Treasury Access Options..

  3. Select the Portfolio Code.

  4. Select the Pricing Model.

In you need to enter bank balances frequently and the balance details are available in an electronic source such as a bank file or a third party application, you can do so using the Cash Management's bank statement import functionality. See Importing Bank Statements, Oracle Cash Management User Guide.

Entering or Updating Bank Account Interest Rates

Use the Cash Management's Interest Rate Schedules to set up and maintain the interest rates for your company and intercompany group bank accounts. Using this page you can set up different rates for different account balances effective on different dates. For example, you can create credit and overdraft rates for each account. See Interest Rate Schedule, Oracle Cash Management User Guide.

Bank Statement Input

If in Cash Management you have defined bank accounts for use in Treasury, you can enter the bank statements for such bank accounts manually in Treasury

It is recommended that you import or enter manually bank statements for reconciliation in Cash Management, see: Importing Bank Statements, Oracle Cash Management User Guide. However, if you want to reconcile the Retail Term Money deals, you will need to record bank statements in Treasury.

Entering Bank Statements Manually

Use the Manual Statement Input window to manually enter bank statement information. You can also use this window to enter a sub-statement for a transaction on your bank account. For example if your statement includes an employee loans item, you can create a sub-statement to break that item down into individual loan amounts, by employee.

You can only input one bank statement per date for each account number.

You can add information to or change a statement anytime before it is transferred for reconciliation. Once you transfer a statement for reconciliation you cannot make any further changes.

To enter a bank statement manually

  1. In the Source field of the Manual Statement Input window, select the bank account for which you are entering information. Values appear in the Account Name, Account Number, Currency, and Created By fields based on the account you selected and your user id.

  2. In the Value Date field, enter the date the statement was issued. The date in the Created Date field is the current system date.

  3. For each transaction on the statement, enter the transaction details as follows:

    • Complete either the Cparty field or the Particulars field. If the bank statement lists the counterparty for the transaction, in the Cparty field, select the counterparty. If the bank statement does not list the counterparty but does list another way to identify the transaction, such as a deal number, in the Particulars enter that value.

    • Select a transaction type.

    • In the Amount field, enter the amount of the transaction.

    • Enter comments for the transaction as needed.

  4. Save your work. The total amount of debits and credits appears in the Trailer region of the window. This region also displays the total number of transactions in the statement.

Bank Account Reconciliation

In general, all bank account reconciliation is done in Oracle Cash Management. For information on how to perform bank account reconciliation in Cash Management, see: Reconciling Bank Statements Automatically, Oracle Cash Management User Guide.

However, at this time it is not possible to reconcile retail term money deals in Cash Management. Therefore, you must reconcile retail term money deals in Treasury. When you reconcile a retail term money deal, the transactions that make up the deal are updated to reflect the date they were settled and the principal and interest amounts are adjusted accordingly. Once you reconcile an amount for a retail term money transaction, you cannot reverse it.

Treasury reconciliation can be set up so that Bank account reconciliations in performed automatically, automatically with manual confirmation, or manually. For information on how to set up bank account reconciliations, see: Import Sources and Reconciliation.

Before you can begin to reconcile a bank account you must either enter the bank statements into Treasury and then you must transfer those bank statements. For more information on entering, importing and transferring bank statements, see: Bank Statement Input.

Rates

This section describes how to enter and manage your current system and retail transaction rates.

Current System Rates

Current system rates are the market rates that Treasury uses to validate each deal. Every time you enter a deal, Treasury compares the deal rates against the current system rates to check whether or not the deal falls within your company's deal rate, interest rate, and foreign exchange rate policies. Treasury also uses current system rates as the default rates when you perform revaluations, and to calculate your total limit utilization.

Current system rates can be updated as frequently as you require and can be entered manually or using an electronic rate feed. The archive schedule for each rate determines how frequently the rate is updated. You can archive rates every time they are updated or at less frequent intervals.

Entering or Modifying Current System Rates

Use the Current System Rates window to enter or modify current system rates in Treasury. Treasury uses current system rates to determine if your deals comply with your company's deal rate tolerances and rate policies, and to calculate revaluations.

Current system rates can be any of the following: forward rates, interest rates, spot rates, or volatilities. Current system rates can also be bond prices or stock prices. For more information on rates, volatilities, bond prices, and stock prices see: Current System Rates.

You can enter current system rates manually using the Current System Rates window, or you can import rates into Treasury using an electronic data feed. For more information on importing rates into Treasury, see: XTR_MARKET_DATA_INTERFACE.

Note: To use an electronic data feed to import rates, you can either use the data exchange programs provided or create a script to import the rates from the feed source into the appropriate Treasury tables.

For each authorized currency, you must define a spot rate against the USD and at least one interest rate. Any other rates are optional.

Prerequisite

To enter a system rate

  1. In Ref Code field of the Current Rates tabbed region of the Current System Rates window, choose the reference code for the rate, volatility, or price. The description of the rate automatically appears in the Ref Description field.

  2. Define a period and term type for the rate. For example, "1 Month" for a 1-month interest rate or "2 FX Spot" for a 2 day spot rate.

    • In the Period field, enter a period for the rate. If you are defining a bond price, leave the period field blank. If you are defining a spot rate, the default period is 2 because spot rates are generally quoted on a 2-day basis; however, you can change the value if you want.

    • In the Term Type field, select a term type for the rate. The term type you select determines the type of rate you are defining.

      The following table lists the rate types you can define and the terms for each rate type.

      Rate Type Terms
      Interest rate Day, Month, or Year
      Volatility Opt Vol(Days) or Opt Vol(Mths)
      Note: If you are defining an exchange rate volatility, you must define both the base and the contra currencies in the exchange. If you are defining an interest rate volatility, you only need to define the base currency.
      Spot Rate FX Spot
      Note: The term for a spot rate is calculated in days. Therefore, a period of 2 FX Spot is equivalent to 2 days.
      Forward Rate FX Fwd(Days) or FX Fwd(Mths)
      Stock Price Stock Price
      Bond Price Bond Price
  3. In the Base Currency field, select a currency for which you want to define the rate. If you are entering a spot or forward rate or an exchange rate volatility, this is the base currency for the rate.

    Note: You must record at least one spot rate for each currency against the USD.

  4. If you are entering a spot or forward rate or an exchange rate volatility, in the Contra Currency field, select a contra currency. If you are entering an interest rate, interest rate volatility rate, stock price, or a bond price, leave this field blank.

  5. In the Bid Price field, enter the bid price for the rate. The bid price holds the bid interest rate, currency rate, stock price, bond price, or volatility.

  6. In the Ask Price field, enter the ask price for the rate. The ask price holds the ask interest rate, currency rate, stock price, bond price, or volatility.

    Additional Information: The difference between the bid price and the ask price for a currency combination is the price spread. The spread between a currency combination depends on two things: the risk associated with each currency, and the liquidity of the currencies in the combination. If you want to change the price spread between two currencies, you can edit the ask price at any time.

  7. In the Day Count Basis field, select the day count basis that you want to use. For more information on how each day count basis is calculated, see: Treasury Terms.
