Selling a note receivable before maturity is called discounting a note receivable because the payee of the note receives less than its maturity value. This lower price decreases the amount of interest revenue the payee earns on the note. Giving up some of this interest is the price the payee is willing to pay for the convenience of receiving cash early.
Assume that the maturity date of the Dorman note is January 18, 1995 and that General Electric discounts the Dorman note at First City National Bank on December 9, 1994. The discount period--which is the number of days from the date of discounting to the date of maturity (this is the period the bank will hold the note) -- is 40 days; 22 days in December, and 18 days in January. Assume the bank applies a 12 percent annual interest rate in computing the discount value of the note. The bank will want to use a discount rate that is higher than the interest rate on the note in order to increase its earnings. GE may be willing to accept this higher rate in order to get cash quickly. The discounted value, called the proceeds, is the amount that GE receives from the bank. The proceeds are computed as follows:
General Electric's entry to record discounting the note is:
Dec. 9, 1994cash $ 15 170
Note receivable Dorman Builders $ 15 000
Interest Revenue $ 170
TO RECORD DISCOUNTING NOTE RECEIVABLE
At maturity the bank collects 15 375 from the maker of the note, earning 205 of interest revenue.
Observe two points in the above computation: (1) The discounting is computed on the maturity value of the note (principal plus interest) rather than on the original principal amount, and (2) the discounting period extends backwards from the maturity date (January 18, 1995) to the date of discounting (December 9, 1994).

The UCP provides no guidance where the words“from”and “after” are used to determine
maturity dates of drafts. Reference to “from” and “after” in the UCP refers solely to dateterminology for periods of shipment. Where the word “from” is used to establish the maturity date,intemational standard banking practice would be exclude the date mentioned, unless the credit specifically provides that“from” is considered to include the date mentioned. Therefore, for the purpose of determining the maturity date of a time draft,the words “from” and “after” have the same effect.Calculation of the maturity commences the day following the date of the document, shipment, or other event, i.e.10 days after or from March 1 to March 11.
