    from my aat studies,
    the annual interest rate of the discount= d/100-d *365/(N-D) *100%

    where
    d=the discount percentage
    N=the normal days without discount
    D=the days with discount

    this is effectively the method you use but the answers are a little different…

    so that ex1

    the annual interest rate of the discount= 4/(100-4)*365/(90-30)*100=25.34%
    = 4/(100-4)*12/(3-1)*100=25%
    versus your
    versus your 27.75% //12months
    which is equivalent to
    [4/(100-4) +1]^[365/(90-30)]=1+R
    R=28.19% //365days

    can i run with the first formula?

    for the second example in the same lecture, i would get

    1/99*365/20*100%=18.43%
    versus your 20.13%

    thank you

    For Paper F9 the examiner will expect you to do it the way that I do it in the lecture (which is more accurate).

    I assume that you are watching the free lectures and not just using the lecture notes on their own. The lecture notes are only notes and it is in the lectures that I explain and expand on them. If you are not watching the lectures for any reason then you need to study using a Study Text from one of the ACCA approved publishers.
