Periodic discount rate is a cost of borrowing - or rate of return - expressed as:

  • The excess of the amount at the end over the amount at the start
  • Divided by the amount at the end


Example 1

GBP 1 million is borrowed.

GBP 1.03 million is repayable at the end of the period.


The periodic discount rate (d) is:

d = (End amount - start amount) / End amount

Which can also be expressed as:

d = (End - Start) / End

or

d = <math>\frac{(End - Start)}{End}</math>


= <math>\frac{(1.03 - 1)}{1.03}</math>

= 0.029126

= 2.9126%


Example 2

GBP 0.97 million is borrowed or invested

GBP 1.00 million is repayable at the end of the period.


The periodic discount rate (d) is:

= <math>\frac{(End - Start)}{End}</math>


= <math>\frac{(1.00 - 0.97)}{1.00}</math>

= 0.030000

= 3.0000%


Example 3

GBP 0.97 million is borrowed.

The periodic discount rate is 3.0000%.

Calculate the amount repayable at the end of the period.


Solution

The periodic discount rate (d) is defined as:

d = <math>\frac{(End - Start)}{End}</math>


d = <math>\frac{End}{End}</math> - <math>\frac{Start}{End}</math>


d = 1 - <math>\frac{Start}{End}</math>


Rearranging this relationship:

1 - d = <math>\frac{Start}{End}</math>


End = <math>\frac{Start}{(1-d)}</math>


Substituting the given information into this relationship:

End = <math>\frac{0.97}{(1 - 0.030000}</math>


= <math>\frac{0.97}{0.97}</math>


= GBP 1.00m


Example 4

An investment will pay out a single amount of GBP 1.00m at its final maturity after one period.

The periodic discount rate is 3.0000%.

Calculate the amount invested at the start of the period.


Solution

As before, the periodic discount rate (d) is defined as:

d = <math>\frac{(End - Start)}{End}</math>


d = 1 - <math>\frac{Start}{End}</math>


Rearranging this relationship:

<math>\frac{Start}{End}</math> = 1 - d


Start = End x (1 - d)


Substitute the given data into this relationship:

Start = 1.00 x (1 - 0.030000)

= GBP 0.97m
