Understanding Financial Discounts Explained
Discount.
The discount constitutes the difference between the amount of a debt and its
maturity and the amount received in the present.
It is necessary to distinguish the different concepts of the term discount
applied in the financial system and in commercial activities

Symbolism
•D= Descuento
P=Present value or net value of the document
S=Face value of the document, future value
n= Periods of time remaining until the maturity of the security
i = Interest rate per time period applicable on P
•d= Discount rate per time period applicable on S
Discount.
Rational, mathematical, or true discount.
a. Simple rational discount. In a simple rational discount operation, the
present value of the bond-value is calculated using simple interest.
D=S(1-(1/(1+in)))
D = Sin / (1 + in)
The discount in this equation can be interpreted as the interest applied to a
future value (Sin), brought to present value by dividing it by 1 + in.
Equivalence of simple rational discount and simple interest.
D=I
The simple rational discount applied to a future value produces the same
result that the simple interest applied to its present value.
Discount.
Example. A bill of S/. 20,000 maturing in 60 days is discounted.
hoy a una tasa nominal anual del 24%. Calcule: a) el descuento racional simple; b)
its present value; c) the interest that will be charged on the actual amount
disbursed.
Solution
a) Calculation of the discount
D=? D=20000*(1-(1/(1+0.24*(60/360))))
S = 20 000 D=769.23
i = 0.24
n = 60/360
Discount.
b) Calculation of present value.
P=S/(1+in)
P=20000/(1+0.24*(60/360))
P=19230,77
c) Calculation of interest.
I = Pin
I = 19 230,77 x 0,24 x 60/360
I = 769.23
Discount.
Example. What nominal value should a promissory note with maturity be accepted for?
within 65 days paying a nominal annual rate of 18%? The promissory note will be
rationally discounted at simple interest and the required net amount is S/. 8
000.
Solution
S=? S = P[1 + in]
n = 65/360 S = 8,000[1 + 0.18 x 65/360]
i = 0.18 S = 8,260
P = 8 000
Discount.
Example. On the date, there are two obligations of S/. 3,000 and S/. 4,000 that are due.
within 28 and 46 days respectively. What will be the total payment for both?
obligaciones si deciden cancelarse hoy? El acreedor aplica una tasa anual de interés
simple 15% for the bill in 28 days and 18% for the bill in 46 days.
Solution
P=?
S1 = 3 000 P = (S1 / (1 + i1 * n1)) + (S2 / (1 + i2 * n2))
S2 = 4 000 P = (3000 / (1 + 0.15 * (28 / 360))) + (4000 / (1 + 0.18 * (46 / 360)))
n1 = 28/360 P= 6875,47
n2 = 46/360
i1 = 0.15
i2 = 0,18

Compound, the present value of the security is calculated at compound interest.
D = S[1 - (1 + i)^-n]
Equivalence of compound rational discount and compound interest.
D=I
Example. What amount should a promissory note with a maturity of 60 days be accepted for?
to discount it rationally today, if it is required to have an amount of S/. 10
000? Use a monthly effective rate of 4% and verify the answer.
Solution
S=?
n=2
a) Nominal value S = P (1 + i)^n
S = 10,000 (1 + 0.04)^2 = 10,816
Discount.
i = 0,04
P = 10,000
b) Discount D = S [1 - (1 + i)^-n ]
D = 10,816 [1 - (1 + 0.04)^-2 ] = 816
Verification:
Nominal value: 10816
Discount: (816)
Importe disponible: 10000
Discount.
Example. Calculate the amount to be obtained today by the rational discount of
a promissory note with a nominal value of S/. 8,000 and a maturity in 38 days. The bank
charges an effective monthly rate of 5%, S/. 10 for expenses, S/. 5 for shipping, and makes
in addition a 10% withholding on the present value of the document. Carry out the
settlement.
Solution
P=? S = P[(1 + i)^n + i'] + G
S = 8 000 P = (8000 - 15) / (1.05^(38/30) + 0.1)
n = 38/30 P= 6861.44
i = 0.05
i = 0.1
G = 15

Discount.
Compound rational discount Dk accrued in each discount period.
In a compound discount operation, the amounts of the discounts
practiced at the face value of the document decrease geometrically in each
update period. In this case, the question arises: what is the amount?
discounted in each period?
Starting from the future to reach the present, we derive the discount formula.
carried out in any period k.
For any given period k, its respective discount Dk can be calculated with the
next formula:
Dk = Si(1 + i)^-k
Discount.
Example: A promissory note with a nominal value of S/. 5,000 and with a due date
On November 29, it was discounted with 120 days remaining until its maturity.
applying a monthly effective rate of 5%. Calculate its present value and the
mathematical discount applied every 30 days.

Discount.
The document expires on November 29, its future value of S/. 5,000 is the value
nominal or amount of the promissory note.
On October 30, there are 30 days (1 period) left until the due date. The present value
on that date it is 4,761.90 and its discount is 238.10.
As of September 30, there are 60 days (2 periods) left until the due date. The value
present on that date is 4,535.15 and its discount is 226.76. The discount
The accumulated total is 464.86 (238.10 + 226.76).
