1.Joanne borrowed RM5000 for 180 days at a discount rateof 8 1/2 %.find the proceeds.

2.A businessman needs RM12000 for four months. What should be the size of the loan if his bank charges a discount rate of 9.5%.

Correction: My calculations was based on

a 4-day loan; it should be for 4 months:

2. Pr = Po - Po*r*t = 12,000
Po - Po*(0.095/12)*4 = 12,000
Po - Po*0.03167 = 12000
0.96833Po = 12,000
Po = $12,392.46

1. P = Po - Po*r*t

P = 5000 - 5000*(0.085/360)*180
P = 5000 - 212.50 = $4787.50 = Amt.
received by Joanne(Proceeds).

2. P = Po - Po*r*t = 12,000
Po - Po*(0.095/360)*4 = 12,000
Po - Po*0.00106 = 12000
0.99894Po = 12,000
Po = $12,012.68

helo sir.

the answer question 2 in my book is 12392,43.why not same with your answer.

12000 (1+o.o95(4/12))=12380

now i want to know about how to solve.

5.Albert needs $2000 now. Find the amount that he should borrow for 120 days from a bank that charges 8% discount

5. Ar = Ab - Ab*r*t = 2,000

Ab - Ab*(0.08/360)*120 = 2,000
Ab - 0.02667Ab = 2000
0.97333Ab = 2000
Ab = $2,054.79 = Amount borrowed.

tq sir/madam..

A 7%,6O day note was discounted at 15 days before the maturity date. If the discount rate was 5.5% and the proceeds received were $ 997,77,find

a)the amount of discount that was charged
b)face value

a) 997,77= (1+0.07(60/360))
=
i cant get the answer.

what is the formula

a. Ar = Ab - Ab*r*t

Ar = Ab - Ab*(0.055/360)*(60-15)=997.77
Ab - Ab*0.006875 = 997.77
0.993125Ab = 997.77
Ab = $1004.68 = Amt. borrowed.

Ac = Ab-Ar = 1004.68 - 997.77 = $6.91 = Amt. charged.

b. Face Value = Ab = $1004.68

helo sir
