	A History of Discount Rates and Their Use by Government Agencies
		The interest rate r is called the discount rate when it is used to solve for P given the other values.

		As long as the market discount rate is used with nominal wages and the real discount rate is used with real wages, the use of the nominal and real rates will give the same answer as long as the inflation component is the same.

	CCH Business Owner's Toolkit \| Discount Rate
		If you are planning to finance the purchase and you know what the interest rate on the loan would be, you can use the rate charged on the loan as the cost of borrowing for the project.
		Therefore, you would use the loan's rate as the "discount rate" in computing the net present value for the project.
		For example, if the rate on your loan was 8.5 percent and your marginal combined federal and state income tax rate was 40 percent, your tax-adjusted interest rate on the loan would be 5.1 percent (1- 0.40 = 0.60; 0.085 x 0.60 = 0.051).

	Discount rate: A Glossary of Political Economy Terms - Dr. Paul M. Johnson
		The more conservative reserve position diminishes the volume of the loans they would otherwise be making, and so an increase in the discount rate tends to cause a decrease in the money stock and thus higher short-term interest rates.
		In contrast, lowering the discount rate is expansionary.
		As the cost of borrowing from the Fed to meet a temporary emergency falls, bankers tend to reduce their excess reserves to a minimum, extending more loans and thus increasing the money stock and tending to lower interest rates in the short term.
