    sry, have tried this a lot of times but still failed

    Q:on 1 nov 2013 Andris issued $12mil convertible loan notes that carry a nominal interest rate of 5% per annum. The loan notes are redeemable on 31 october 2016 at par or they can be converted into equity shares. a similar loan note without the conversion option would have required Andris to pay an interest rate of 8.6%

    The present value of $1 receivable at the end of the year, based on discount rates of 5% and 8.6% can be taken to be:

    5%
    year 1= 0.95
    year 2=0.91
    year 3=0.86

    8.6%
    year 1=0.92
    year2=0.85
    year3=0.78

    how would the convertible loan appear in Andris’ statement of financial position on initial recognition? $xxx E(quity) $xxxNCL(liability)

    A:$59400E $11940600NCL

    how to reach the answer, my attempt

    PV of 3 yr interest in arrear = 12mil*0.05*(0.92+0.85+0.78)=600,000*2.55=$1,530,000
    PV of loan note redeemed at yr 3= 12mil * 0.78=$9,360,000
    Total liability component = 1530000+9360000=$10,890,000

    Thus equity balance of $12mil= $1,110,000

    Year 1 interest expense $10,890,000*8.6%=$936,540
    936,540+10,890,000-600,000=11,226,540(Liablity)

    year 2 interest expense 11226540*8.6%=965482.44
    965482.44+11226540-600000=11,592,022.44 (liability)

    year 3 interest expense 11,592,022.44= 996913.93
    996913.93+11592.022.44-600000=aprox $12,000,000 (liablity)

    i can’t find the way to reach the answer. please help

    Are you sure that the “correct” answer is the one you have given? Your workings appear to be correct to me and the answer you have given is blatantly unreasonable

    You haven’t told me whether the answer that you have stated is the one given as being “correct”

    If it is the one shown as correct, I need to know so that I can change it so please confirm that $59,400 and $11,940,600 are shown as “correct” on the site
