If the Discount Accrual Processing Date is 15-Feb-2003, the processing for Discount Accrual is as follows:

Step 1

NPV of the contract is computed as of 15-Feb-2003 by discounting the future cash flows as shown below:

Table 6-3 Cash Flows

Due Date Amount (di-d1)/D 1+IRR (1+IRR)^((di-d 1)/D) Discount CF
01-Mar-2003 9205.48 0.038 1.203 1.0071 9140.46
01-Apr-2003 10191.78 0.123 1.203 1.023 9962.22
01-May-2003 9863.01 0.205 1.203 1.0387 9495.54
01-Jun-2003 10191.78 0.29 1.203 1.0551 9659.27
01-Jul-2003 9863.01 0.373 1.203 1.0713 9206.78
01-Aug-2003 10191.78 0.458 1.203 1.0882 9365.53
01-Sep-2003 10191.78 0.542 1.203 1.1054 9219.70
01-Oct-2003 9863.01 0.625 1.203 1.1224 8787.80
01-Nov-2003 10191.78 0.71 1.203 1.1401 8939.02
01-Dec-2003 9863.01 0.792 1.203 1.5755 8520.56
01-Jan-2004 1010191.78 0.877 1.203 1.1759 859105.75
          951402.94

The NPV of the Contract as of 15-Feb-2003 = USD 951,402.94

Step 2

IRR Start date = 01-Jan-2003

Outstanding Principal as of 12-Feb-2003 = USD 1,000,000

Discount to be accrued as of 01-Jan-2003 = USD 60,000

Accrued Interest as of 15-Feb-2003 = USD 4602.74

Discount Accrued as of 01-Jan-2003 = USD 0.00

Previous process till date = 14-Feb-2003
TRADE

TDAn = 951402.94 – (1000000-60000)-4602.74+0

TDAn = 6800.2

Net Discount Accrual = TDAn – TDAn-1

Net Discount Accrual = 6800.20 – 6647.43

Net Discount Accrual = 152.77

Net Discount Accrual amount for 15-Feb-2003 processing = USD 152.77
