Discount on Issue
Exactly the same as above - it is just another way of paying interest - except this time you pay it at the start
eg 4% 1,000 payable loan with a 5% discount on issue
So again the interest rate is not 4%, because it ignores the extra interest you pay at the beginning of 50 (5% x 1,000). So the
effective rate is let’s say 7% (again we cannot calculate this and will just be given in the exam)
The crucial point here is that the discount is paid immediately. So, although you presume that the effective rate is the same as
the market rate (7% say), the INITIAL FV of the loan was 1,000 but is immediately reduced by the 50 discount - so is actually 950
NB You still pay interest of 4% x 1,000 not 4% x 950
*A quaint old English saying - meaning you’re an idiot :p
So we have these 3 categories..
