Floating Interest Rate
The rate of interest that changes across the tenure of a loan, generally every quarter, due to the government’s interest rate, market conditions, and other factors is known as a floating interest rate.
Personal loans and home loans are typical examples of borrowing that carry a floating interest rate. A point to note here: the floating interest rate is added on top of a base interest rate that is charged by lenders.

Income Statement
An income statement of a company is a document that displays crucial financial information like profit, loss, revenue, expenses, taxes, and more. Income statements are logically divided and published in monthly or quarterly manner for better accounting and financial modelling. A combination of these statements is what you see as the quarterly or annual report published by publicly listed companies.
Capital Gains Exemption
Capital gains exemption is the tax break that a government offers on profits earned by selling assets. Generally, an investor must pay a tax on the short-term capital gains or long-term capital gains earned.
But in certain cases, the government allows investors to offset taxes. For example, if an investor sells property and reinvests the entire amount back again into another property, they can avail of capital gains exemption.

Book To Bill Ratio
Book to Bill ratio is the value you get by dividing the total worth of new orders received by the total worth of orders sold. The formula to calculate Book to Bill ratio is:
Book to Bill ratio: Total worth of new orders received / Total worth of orders billed
Book to Bill ratio helps companies understand the demand and supply for their goods or services. A Book to Bill ratio of more than 1 means that there’s more demand and less supply.
Whereas, a Book to Bill ratio of less than 1 means that there’s less demand and more supply. Using these indicators, the company can work on increasing or limiting production.

Derivative
A derivative is a financial contract that is designed to derive its value from a single or group of underlying assets, generally between two parties or more. It contains a pre-agreed date of delivery and price.
The most common examples of a derivative contract are:
- Futures
- Options
- Forwards
- Swaps
A derivative can be bought and sold on an exchange or over the counter. Since derivatives derive value from underlying assets, their price is known to fluctuate when the underlying asset gains or loses value.
