Please can you tell me why the calculation does not include the issue costs of 1 million and why we calculate the difference between the two rates and not just use the effective as we did in previous examples. Thanks.
November 29, 2015 at 11:29 am #286105The above question is from the mini exercises..
November 29, 2015 at 9:50 pm #2862211) Because the issue costs are debited to the loan account itself
2) Because that’s what we’re told to do – it’s the rule!
November 30, 2015 at 12:47 am #286267Thanks for 1 above. I still don’t understand 2 as we have just used the effective rate in Q3. How does Q3 differ from Q5 apart from the issue costs?
November 30, 2015 at 8:30 am #286321We used both rates in question 3!
800 represents 6/12 x 2% x 80,000.
The effective rate is 6%.
6% x 80,000 for half a year is 2,400.
800 has been paid
So we need to accrue a further 1,600
Ok?
