(i) Find the proceeds when the following note is discounted:
Face Value Date Term Interest rate Date of discount Discount rate
$5000 Apr.21 3 months 16% June 11 16%
ii. Find the rate of interest earned by the purchaser if he holds the note until maturity.
(i) Interest earned = Face Value * Interest rate
= $5000 * 0.16/4 = $200
Maturity Value = Face Value + Interest earned
= $5000 + $200 = $5200
Due Date is 21 April + 3 months = 21 July
Discount period = Days between 21 July and 11 June
= 40 Days
Bank Discount = Maturity Value * Discount Rate * Discount period
= $5200 * 0.16 * 40/365 (Considering 365 days in a year)
= $91.178
Period = Maturity Value - Bank Discount
= $5200 -$91.178
= $5108.822
(ii) Rate of interest earned = (Maturity Value _ Face Value) / Face Value
= (5200 - 5000) / 5000
= 200/5000
= 4%
