Answer: 1: A 7%, 60-day note is discounted 15 days before the maturity date. If the discount rate is 5.5% and the proceeds received are RM 997.77
Maturity Value = 997.77
Rate of Discount= 5.5%
Time = 60 days
Rate of Interest = 7%
MATURITY VALUE= PRINCIPAL(1+ RATE* TIME)
Principal = Maturity Value / (1+ RATE* TIME)
= 997.77/ (1+.055* 45/360)
= 997.77/ (1+.006875)
= 997.77/ 1.006875
= 990.9571
Answer: a) The amount of discount charged = 997.77- 990.95 = 6.82
b) The discount date, if the maturity date of the note is 26 October 2018.
Discount date = Maturity Date - Discount Days before Maturity
= 26 Oct 2018 - 15 days
= 11 Oct 2018 ( If We did not consider 3 days as Grace)
c) The face value of the note.
Maturity Value = 997.77
MATURITY VALUE= PRINCIPAL(1+ RATE* TIME)
Principal = Maturity Value / (1+ RATE* TIME)
= 997.77/ (1+.07* 45/360)
= 997.77/ (1+.00875)
= 997.77/ 1.00875
= 989.11
Hence Face Value is = 989.11
Answer: 2:
A 6%, 110-day note dated 31 August 2018 has a maturity value of RM4,073.33. On 12 October 2018, the note is discounted and the proceeds received are RM4,019.47. Find:
a) The face value of the note.
MATURITY VALUE= PRINCIPAL(1+ RATE* TIME)
Principal or Face Value = Maturity Value / (1+ RATE* TIME)
= 4073.33 / (1+0.06 * 110/360)
= 4073.33 / 1.0183
= 4000.12 or 4000
b) The bank discount rate that is charged when the note is discounted.
Date of The bill = 31 August 2018
Discounted Date = 12 October 2018
Duration of Time = from 31 August 2018 to 12 October 2018 = 42 days
Maturity Value of Bill for 42 days = Face value( 1 + Rate *Time)
= 4000 (1+0.06 * 42/360)
= 4000 * 1.007
= 4028
After Discount Maturity Value Realized = 4,019.47
Discount Amount = 4028 - 4019.47 = 8.53
Discount Rate = (8.53/ 4028) 100 = 2.11%
