Objective 2
Find the bank discount and the
proceeds.
Bank Discount
Bank Discount = Maturity Value x Discount Rate x Time

B = MDT

6% discount rate
90 days
$30 discount
$1970 proceeds
B = $2000 x .06 x 90/360
B = $30
Sample
Determine the bank discount:
Simple Discount Note
$800
4.5% discount rate
120 days
$______ discount
B = MDT
B = $800 x .045 x 120/360
B = $12
12
Proceeds
Proceeds = Maturity Value - Bank Discount

P = M - B
Simple Discount Note
$2000
6% discount rate
90 days
$30 discount
$1970 proceeds
P = $2000 - $30
P = $1970
Sample
Determine the proceeds:
Simple Discount Note
$800
4.5% discount rate
120 days
$12 discount
$_____ proceeds
P = M - B
P = $800 - $12
P = $788
788
Compute Discount and Proceeds 1 of 2
Simple discount note with a face value of
$14,250.
The banker discounts the 8 month note at
8%.
Discount = _______
Proceeds = _______
B = MDT
P = M - B
B = 14,250 x 0.08 x 8/12 = $760
P = 14,250 760 = $13,490
Compute Discount and Proceeds 2 of 2
#4, page 333
Face Value: $1250
Discount Rate: 11%
Time: 150 days
Discount = _______
Proceeds = _______
B = MDT
P = M - B
B = 1,250 x 0.11 x 150/360 = 57.29
P = 1,250 57.29 = $1,192.71

Find the effective rate.
Comparing Interest Rates Simple Interest Notes vs
Simple Discount Notes
Which loan costs more to the borrower?
Simple interest note
$3,000 @ 7% for 10 months.
Simple discount note
$3,000 @ 7% for 10 months.
I = PRT
I = 3000 x .07 x 10/12
I = $175
B = MDT
B = 3000 x .07 x 10/12
B = $175
Borrower gets $__________. Borrower gets $__________. 3000 2825
Effective Interest Rate
Allows us to compare simple interest rates
with simple discount rates.
Effective Rate (APR) is the interest rate that is calculated
based on the actual amount of money received by the
borrower.
