Able Co. accepted a $20,000 note on March 10 with terms of 6%, 60 days. Able Co. discounted the note on March 20, at the Green Bank at 7%. Use ordinary interest. What net proceeds did Able receive?
Assuming 360 days in a year.
Maturity value of the note = Principal + Interest
Principal = $20000
Interest = $20000 * 6% * 60 / 360 = $200
Maturity value = $20000 + $200 = $20200
Now, on March 20, Able Co. discounts the note with the bank at 7%. So note was discounted 50 days before the maturity date. Bank discount amount will be:
Bank discount = Maturity value * Bank discount rate * No. of days remaining to maturity / Total no. of days
Bank discount = $20200 * 7% * 50 / 360 = $196.39
Net proceeds = $20200 - $196.39 = $20003.61
