Description
Reconcile supplied acquisition source and use totals.
Corporate finance calculations require consistent accounting periods, currencies, share bases and contract definitions. Restricted cash differs from available cash, a discount fraction depends on its denominator, and a debt or reserve balance is a bookkeeping relation. Supplied cash flows and rates describe scenarios rather than verified accounts or investment outcomes.
Reconcile supplied acquisition source and use totals.
When to use this tool
Use Acquisition Sources Uses Residual when you already have sources, uses and need to reconcile supplied acquisition source and use totals.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter sources, uses. Follow any array-alignment requirements below. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read totalSources, totalUses, residual. Use the output convention below.
Require every source/use>=0; sum each list in order and return sources-uses; empty lists total zero.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| totalSources | Total Sources | Required. Finite number. |
| totalUses | Total Uses | Required. Finite number. |
| residual | Residual | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Currency and valuation boundaries must agree. A zero residual does not validate financing, funds availability, acquisition terms, fees or transaction completeness.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile actual statements, financing agreements, cap tables and cash-flow forecasts. Use full contractual terms and appropriate valuation or accounting methods when a local balance, fraction or present-value term cannot answer the financial question.
