Dear Taylor:
I am working with the Transport Exercise (the template with all the data by default) and I would like to get support for understanding the calculation of the Device retirements. Let me explain my question with numbers:
Working in the branch Demand/Cars. Scenario: Business as Usual, Vintage: All Vintages
- For 2010: The stock of cars is 6800 thousand devices
- The sum of the Device sales from 2010 to 2030 is: 16800 thousand
- The sum of the device retirements from 2010 to 2030 is: 16330.38 thousand
(I made the calculations outside Leap)
Using a simple balance the number of vehicles to 2030 should follow:
Vehicles (2030)=Vehicles (2010)-Total Retirements(2010-2030)+Total Sales (2010-2030)= 68000-16330.38+16800=7269.62 thousand
The calculation of Leap shows in 2030: 7106.35 thousand
Something is missing (163264 vehicles)... Please could you explain how Leap is calculating the Device Retirements each year?
My Leap version is 2014.0.1.14
Thanks in advance,
With regards
Gabriela
