In financial instrument , is the Finance cost the only expense that should be recorded in relation to loan notes for a particular year end?
What about the nominal rate deduction that is deducted annually ? How do we show this in our Income statement ?
Here is a question but do not border for the calculation because I know it.
Wonder issued $10 million 5% loan notes on 1 Jan. 2009 incurring issue costs of $400,000 . The loan notes are reseemable at premium giving them an effective interest rate of 8%.
What expense should be recorded in relation to the loan notes for the year ended 31 dec 2009?
Solution :
Finance costs
What am I meant to do with this? You say “Do not bother (border?) for the calculation …”
The loan interest, when calculated, will be debited to the expense heading Finance Expenses or Finance Costs (whatever you want to call it)
OK?
