131176 2003-03-26 10:39:00 I have two questions regarding Excel
1. I know that NPER will work out the number of payments needed to reach a total but what does NPER stand for?

2. To get GST inclusive you * by 12.5% but to get GST amount from a GST Inclusive price you divide by 9 why 9?

I know it's trivial but it's bugging me

Cheers

131177 2003-03-26 10:58:00 NPER = Number of PERiods



GST
12 . 5% is one eighth
Since GST is added to the original

if the GST exclusive amount is 100 and = eight eighths

then the GST inclusive amount is eight eighths plus one eighth = nine eigths

so to find the GST content divide the amount by nine and . . .

GST=12.5% (0.125)

Selling price incl GST = Actual Price * 1.125
Divide the Inclusive price by 9 and it reveals the Actual (net) price

1.125 divided by 9 = 0.125 (12.5%)

Or 1.125 (incl price) divided by the GST (0.125) = 9

To add the gst content of a sum divide by 8
