The amount earned by an investor expressed as a percentage of the amount invested is known as the rate of return. The discount rate is the rate used to discount future cash flows to their present value. Present value is the current value of future cash flows, and future value is the value an investment will grow to over time. "Expected past rate" is not a common financial term.
