Yield Factor

The ratio of the amount of material that results from an industrial process to the amount of material that went into it. Generally, yield is calculated by dividing the dividends or interest received on a set period of time by either the amount originally invested or by its current price: For a bond investor, the calculation is similar. The yield factor is typically used in process industries such as pharmaceuticals, distilled spirits, and processed foods, among others. It considers normal evaporation losses, residuals, and other losses that occur during the production process. The yield factor is used to determine the expected output of a process. Yield Factor at any time means an amount equal to the sum of (a) the aggregate Yield accrued and to accrue through the end of each Rate Period with respect to all Portions of Investment at such time which, in the case of Yield computed by reference to the CP Rate, shall be determined for such purpose using the CP Rate most recently determined by the Administrator, multiplied by the Fluctuation Factor, plus (b) the Liquidation Yield at such time. Yield Factor means with respect to any Business Day the percentage equivalent of a fraction, determined on the preceding Date of Determination (or on such Business Day with respect to each Date of Determination), the numerator of which is (x) the product of the Billed Finance Charges for the Monthly Period preceding such Date of Determination and one MINUS the Delinquency Percentage for the preceding Date of Determination (or on such Business Day with respect to each Date of Determination) PLUS (y) Recoveries for the Monthly Period preceding such Date of Determination, and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Collections for the Monthly Period preceding such Date of Determination.
