I use a DATE\'s master table for looking up dates and other values in order to control several events, intervals and calculations within my app. It has rows for every single day
OK, so I tested my app using 31 days/month to calculate interest rates & pawnshops are happy with it! Local Law prays as follows: From pawn or last int. pymt. date to 5 elapsed days, 5% interest on principal, 6 to 10 days = 10%, 11 to 15 days = 15%, and 16 days to 1 "month" = 20%.
So the interest table is now defined as follows:
NUMBER OF ELAPSED DAYS SINCE
PAWN DATE OR LAST INTEREST PYMT
FROM TO ACUMULATED
DAY DAY INTEREST
----- ---- ----------
0 5 5.00%
6 10 10.00%
11 15 15.00%
16 31 20.00%
32 36 25.00%
37 41 30.00%
42 46 35.00%
47 62 40.00%
[... until day 90 (forfeiture allowed)]
from day 91 to 999, daily prorate based on 20%/month.
Did something bad happen in the UK on MAR-13 or SEP-1752?
