The definition of a discount rate depends on the context, it's
either defined as the interest rate used to calculate the net
present value or the interest rate charged by the Federal Reserve
Bank. There are two discount rate formulas you can use to calculate
discount rate, WACC (weighted average cost of capital) and APV
(adjusted present value).
