Companies must innovate to differentiate themselves from the competition, as it is not enough to offer excellent products and services. This is a big challenge for them to remain competitive in the market. Therefore, a management culture based on visibility and understanding of processes must be created, promoting integration and reducing interdepartmental conflicts, with a focus on generating value. Given this context, the management board needs to deliberate on the early redemption of a long-term bond and consulted the company's financial analyst on the best discount method under these conditions. He stated that this is a compound rational discount that is most appropriate for long-term operations. Thus, the calculation of the net value to be credited to the company was determined, knowing that the nominal value of the security is R$ 180,000.00 and with a redemption rate of 2.25% per month, which redemption will occur 30 months before the maturity.
