CASE II.

The proceeds of a note, time, and rate, being given, to find the face.

WRITTEN EXERCISES.

1. I wish to borrow $500 from bank; what must be the face of my note at 30 days, so that when discounted at 6% I shall receive that amount?

Discount on $1 for 33 days = $.0055.

$1$.0055 $.9945 proceeds of $1.

$500.9945 = $502.77 face of note.

ANALYSIS.-We find the proceeds of $1 for the given rate and time to be $.9945. Now, if it requires $1 to produce $.9945 proceeds, to produce $500 proceeds will require as many dollars as .9945 is contained times in 500, or $502.77.

RULE.

Divide the given proceeds by the proceeds of one dollar for the given time and rate; the quotient will be the face of the note.

2. What must be the face of a note at 90 days, that when discounted at 6% the proceeds may be $450?
