<h1>DISC Function</h1>
<p>The <b>DISC</b> function is one of the financial functions. It is used to calculate the discount rate for a security.</p>
<p>The <b>DISC</b> function syntax is:</p>
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>DISC(settlement, maturity, pr, redemption[, [basis]])</em></b></p>
<p><em>where</em></p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>settlement</em></b> is the date when the security is purchased.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>maturity</em></b> is the date when the security expires.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>pr</em></b> is the purchase price of the security, per $100 par value.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>redemption</em></b> is the redemption value of the security, per $100 par value.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>basis</em></b> is the day count basis to use, a numeric value greater than or equal to 0, but less than or equal to 4. It is an optional argument. It can be one of the following:</p>
<table style="width: 40%">
<tr>
<td><b>Numeric value</b></td>
<td><b>Count basis</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>0</td>
<td>US (NASD) 30/360</td>
</tr>
<tr>
