Discount Rate
Definition: The interest rate that the Federal Reserve charges a bank to borrow funds when a bank is temporarily short of funds.

In context of NPV or PV calculations, the discount rate is the annual percentage applied. In the context of project financing, the discount rate is often the all-in interest rate or the interest rate plus margin.
