PRICEDISC(settlement, maturity, discount, redemption, basis)

  • where 'settlement' is the security's settlement date (a date when coupon or a bond is purchased),
  • 'maturity' is security's maturity date (a date when coupon or a bond expires),
  • 'discount' is security's discount rate,
  • 'redemption' is security's redemption value per $100 face value, and
  • 'basis' is the type of day count basis to use.

PRICEDISC() calculates the price of a discounted security per $100 face value.

Description

PRICEDISC(settlement, maturity, discount, redemption, basis)

  • The function returns the price of a discounted security per $100 face value.
  • PRICEDISC is calculated by subtracting discounted amount from redemption value.
  • Settlement and maturity dates should be entered either in 'date format' or 'dates returned using formulas'. If dates are not valid, Calci displays #N/A error message.
  • If settlement date ≥ maturity date, Calci displays #N/A error message.
  • 'discount' value must be greater than or equal to zero, else calci displays #N/A error message.
  • 'redemption' value must be greater than zero, else Calci displays #N/A error message.
  • 'basis' value is optional. If omitted, Calci assumes it to be 0.

Below table shows the use of 'basis' values:

Basis Description
0 US (NASD) 30/360
1 Actual/actual
2 Actual/360
3 Actual/365
4 European 30/365
  • If 'basis' value is other than 0 to 4, Calci displays #N/A error message.
