Bank Discount
Another way of lending money is to collect the
interest in advance. This interest is referred
into as bank discount. A bank discount is an
interest computed on the maturity value of the
loan and is deducted from the amount at the
loan date to determine the net amount to be
received by the borrower.
The amount of the loan applied for at the loan date is the
maturity value of the loan.
P = MV – BD or P = MV (1 – RT)
Where;
P = Proceed
MV = Maturity Value
BD = Bank Discount
T = Time (converted to fraction or decimals to
facilitate computing)
R = Bank Discount Rate ( converted to decimals for
computation)
Other Derived Formulas:
Formula;
BD = MV x R x T P = MV - BD
Discussion Problem 2
Given;
P = P15,000
R = 6 3/7%
T = 2 years
Formula;
MV = P/1-RT
Promissory Notes
A promissory note is a
written promise by the
maker to pay a certain
amount of money to the
payee at a certain specified
time.
It is also a negotiable
instrument which can be sold
to the bank or any lending
agency at a certain specified
discount rate.
Cashing a note at a bank is
called discounting a note.
Interest = FV x R x T

To compute for the proceeds of the note; simply substitute the face value to the principal in
the Bank discount formula to get the bank discount, then subtract it to the face value. Thus;
BD = FV x R x T
Proceeds = FV – BD
