SIMPLE DISCOUNT

A simple discount (D) is an interest collected or deducted in advance from the final
amount or maturity value.

Formula: 𝑫 = 𝑭𝒅𝒕

where: F = final amount or maturity value


d = discount rate
t = time/term

The amount that is left after the interest is deducted is called proceeds.
𝑃 =𝐹 −𝐷
𝑃 = 𝐹 − 𝐹𝑑𝑡
𝑷 = 𝑭(𝟏 − 𝒅𝒕)

Other Formula:
𝐷
discount rate 𝑑= 𝐹𝑡

𝐷
time 𝑡= 𝐹𝑑

Example:

1. Determine the interest to be deducted in advance if ₱ 20 000 is due after 8


months with a discount rate of 12%.
Given: F = ₱ 20 000
d = 12% = 0.12
8
t = 8 months = 12

Solution: D = Fdt
8
D = ( ₱ 20 000 ) ( 0.12 ) ( 12 )
𝐃 = ₱ 1 600
2. Determine the interest in advance to be deducted for a loan worth ₱ 50 000
due after 1 year and 3 months with a discount rate of 15%. How much will be
the proceeds?

Given: F = ₱ 50 000
d = 15% = 0.15
3 15
t = 1 year & 3 months = 1 12 = 12

Solution: D = Fdt
15
D = ( ₱ 50 000 ) ( 0.15 ) ( 12 )
𝐃 = ₱ 9 375
P=F −D
P = ₱ 50 000 – 9 375
𝐏 = ₱ 40 625
Other solution:
P = F (1 − dt)
15
P = ₱ 50 000 [ 1 – (0.15) (12) ]

𝐏 = ₱ 40 625
D =F −P
D = ₱ 50 000 – 40 625
𝐃 = ₱ 9 375

3. What is the simple discount rate if the proceed is ₱ 85 000 from a loan of
₱ 100 000 payable in 3 years?
Given: F = ₱ 100 000
P = ₱ 85 000
t = 3 years

Solution: D = F − P
D = ₱ 100 000 – ₱ 85 000
𝐃 = ₱ 15 000
D
d= Ft

₱ 15 000
d = ( ₱ 100 000 )( 3 )

𝐝 = 0.05 = 5%

4. How long will it take for ₱ 50 000 to amount to ₱ 72 500 if the discount rate is
6%?
Given: F = ₱ 72 500
P = ₱ 50 000
d = 6% = 0.06

Solution: D = F − P
D = ₱ 72 500 – ₱ 50 000
𝐃 = ₱ 22 500
D
t= Fd

₱ 22 500
t = ( ₱ 72 500 )( 0.06 )

t = 5.17241… years
𝐭 = 5 years, 2 months, 2 days

5. The proceeds of a 2 year loan is ₱120 000. If the discount rate is 12%, how
much is the maturity value?
Given: P = ₱ 120 000
d = 12% = 0.12
t=2
P
Solution: F= 1 − dt

₱ 120 000
F= 1−(0.12)(2)

𝐅 = ₱ 157 894.74
