NOTE FOR QUESTION 9: In a discount interest loan, the interest is deducted from the amount the borrower receives at the beginning of the loan. For example, if a bank makes a one-year loan of $10,000 at a simple interest rate of 5%, the borrower essentially borrows $9,500 at the beginning of the year and repays it with no interest at the end of the year.
