Performance also refers to measures of an employee's or contractor's fulfilment of their duties.

In this context, measures of performance may be qualitative or quantitative.

In relation to a company or business, performance can refer to the company's fulfilment of investors' expectations.

GBP 0.97 million is borrowed or invested


For example, as measured by performance ratios or gains in shareholder value.
GBP 1.00 million is repayable at the end of the period.

The periodic discount rate (d) is:


Any measure of activity, particularly when compared with a pre-defined standard.
(End amount - start amount) / End amount


For example, payments practices under related reporting regulations.
= (1.00 - 0.97) /  1.00


= 0.030000

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:

(End amount - start amount) / End amount

= (1.03 - 1) / 1.03

= 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:

(End amount - start amount) / End amount

= (1.00 - 0.97) / 1.00

= 0.030000

= 3.0000%
