A 180-day note for $10,000 at 11.5% interest dated May 20 is discounted on August 28 at a bank that charges a discount rate of 9.5%. Find the proceeds.
Face Value of 180-day note = $10,000
No of days after note discounted from issue date = 100 days
No of days for note to maturity = (180 - 100) = 80 days
Calculating the Proceeds of the Note using discount rate of 9.5%:-
Price = Face Value/[1+(Discount rate*No of days/365 days)]
Price = $10,000/[(1+(0.095*80/360)]
Price = $10,000/[(1+0.021111)]
Price = $9793.25
So, the proceed is $9793.25
