Working Capital Discount Calc

DDaniel9y ago
Hi, I am having trouble understanding how to type the discount annualisation working in to my calculator (100/100-d)*365/t-1 Doing it like this gives me a completely different answer to Chris? Am I being dense?

No, I think there is a mistake in the answer that needs to be updated, is should be noted in a previous thread. Thanks

Hi please help. I am having similar issue in video it shows (100/100-2) *365/20 -1 = 0.4458 But when I put into the calculator I get 17.62 Where am I going wrong? Thank you

Hello, not sure where this example comes from, but you have a slight mistake in formula. There should be a power sign not multiplication in between, so it is: [(100/100-2)^365/20] -1. Now when you put it to your calculator it should equal to 0.4458. Hope this helps. Best, Anita

That's correct but it can still sometimes be a challenge to enter the numbers in the calculator in the correct order.
