NOTE DISCOUNTED BEFORE MATURITY • If a business needs cash before the due date of a note, it can endorse the note and transfer it to a bank • The bank charges an interest fee called a “bank discount” • For the time between the date of discounting and the due date of the note • The difference between the maturity value and the bank discount is called the “proceeds”
NOTE DISCOUNTED BEFORE MATURITY EXAMPLE: Assume the $2,000, 10%, 90-day note from Putter dated June 8 is discounted at the bank on July 8 at a rate of 12%. Calculating the discount and proceeds is a four- step process.
NOTE DISCOUNTED BEFORE MATURITY EXAMPLE: Assume the $2,000, 10%, 90-day note from Putter dated June 8 is discounted at the bank on July 8 at a rate of 12%. Step #1 Compute the maturity value of the note. Face Interest Maturity Value = + = $2,000 $50 $2,050 +
NOTE DISCOUNTED BEFORE MATURITY EXAMPLE: Assume the $2,000, 10%, 90-day note from Putter dated June 8 is discounted at the bank on July 8 at a rate of 12%. Step #2 Compute the number of days in the discount period—from the discount date to the due date. Days in July 31 Less: Discount date 8 The discount date is not counted in the discount period.
