A basis of quoting the return on an instrument by reference to its current value (rather than by reference to its terminal value).
''UK.''


For example when an instrument is quoted - on a <u>yield basis</u>, one period before its maturity - at a yield of 10% per period, this means that it is currently trading at a price of 100% DIVIDED BY [1 + 10% = 1.10] = 90.91% of its terminal value.

(The periodic ''discount rate'' on this instrument is 100% LESS 90.91% = 9.09%.  So if the same instrument had been quoted on a <u>discount basis</u>, then the quoted discount rate per period = 9.09%.)

The relationship between the periodic yield (r) and the periodic discount rate (d) is:
d = r/[1+r]


So in this case:
B&B is no longer open to new business.
d = 0.10/[1 + 0.10 = 1.10]


= 9.09%
