So to add a new record just use ModelName.new, set the values as appropriate and save it. However generally it is bad practice to save anything that can be calculated on the fly, and I rather suspect that at least one of the values you mention may fall into that category, posibly both. You may think it is a worthwhile efficiency saving but the bottlenecks in an app are very rarely where you expect them to be. There are many issues to be thought about when saving data that can be calculated. Suppose for example the server crashes at an unfortunate moment such that you end up with the saved value not representing the calculated value.
