aa 9 year promissionary note of $1100 with interest of 3.8 % compounded quaterly was discounted at 6 % compounded semi annually hielding proceeds of $7600. how many mnths befoe the due date was the discounting rate
Where FV = Future value
PV = Present value = $1100
r= rate of interest per year = 3.8% = 0.038
n = number of compounding per year
t = number of years
r/n = rate of interest per compounding period
n*t = total number of compounding period
Hence Future value of $11000 promissiory note =
=>Future value of $11000 promissiory note =$15460.39
Lets assume that the Note is discounted X number of semiannual period Before.
Hence n*t = X
As we know
=>
=>
=>
=>
hence the numver of semiannul period = X = 24.024404
One semiannual period = 6 months
hence Total number of month = 6*24.024404 = 144 months
hence the note is discounted 144 months before due date.
