I know this is an impairment of financial asset but i am struggling with how to deal with this:
The financial assets balance relates to $15 million that was loaned to a key supplier
on 1 January 20X5. The loan, which is interest-free, is due to be repaid on 31
December 20X6. The supplier can usually borrow at a rate of 15%. Any loss allowance
is deemed to be immaterial.Do we reclassify the loan to FV at Jan X5 (15 X 1/1.15sqd) = 11.342M but then i am struggling with what we need to do to prepare the SOFP as at 31 December X5?
Do we Cr Asset Dr P&L with 3.658 at Jan X1
And then Dr Asset and Cr P&L at Dec X1 with 1.701M as at Dec X5 (rough Numbers)Any Help Would Be Great.
October 2, 2015 at 9:36 am #274669its interest free yes but the 15m now and 15 two years time will be different so we discount the 15 million for the two years by the 15% and the unwinding of interest goes to p&l for each of the two years. non current liability created for the discounted 15 million and adjusted by the unwinding of interest for each year.
October 2, 2015 at 9:41 pm #274754Jigsaw, you’re wrong! This is a financial asset that we’re talking about so the concept of showing it as a non-current liability is total hogwash
k0006825, yes, impair and then build back up to $15 million over two years in anticipation of the receipt of the money in repayment of the interest free loan
