Gain-on-sale accounting

This process is known as discounting.

One fundamental concept in finance is discounting, where a company assesses the potential future profits of a trade made in the present. This involves calculating the present value of those estimated profits and recording it as profit today. In simpler terms, discounting allows companies to accurately measure the current value of future profits.
