SLN Function Explained

The SLN Function in Microsoft Excel is used to calculate the straight-line depreciation of an asset for a specified period. It takes three arguments: the cost of the asset, the salvage value of the asset, and the life of the asset in number of periods. It returns the depreciation amount for a single period.
