-
times the number of days, times the contract amount,
-
divided by B, times 100.
-
This 100 is here because L and R are assumed to be measured in hundreds,
-
like percent--3% is really 0.03 x L x D.
-
This equation might be easier if you divide
-
both numerator and denominator by 100 then you can see
-
that all that 100 is doing is correcting the interest rates
-
from percent to--from 3% to 0.03.
-
All it's doing--all this contract
-
is is an amount--a promise--
-
to pay the difference between the contract
-
and the actual interest rate on that date.
