market discount

Market DiscountIf you buy a bond in a secondary market, the market discount is the face value of the bond less the sum of the amount you paid for the bond and the amount of accumulated original issue discount (OID) from the date of issue that represented interest to any earlier holders. Bonds are sold for less than their face value when rising interest rates make their stated interest rate less competitive.(i got the explaination from the website msn money centre)

Retailers usually pay for the goods at prices lower than the list price.they pay after reduction in price called net prices.
The differences of list price and net price is TRADE DISCOUNTS.

Trade discount = list pice - net price
for examples:
the list price of a leather belt is RM180. A trade discount of 30% is offered. what is the net price of the belt?
solution:
list price = RM180
trade discount = 30% from 180
=RM54
net price =RM180-RM54
=RM126
