    Hi,

    Thank you for your lectures.

    Why you are saying that for equity held at FVTOCI the transaction cost goes to P/L, but in fact in example 1 part b you are capitalising 40,000 of transaction cost?

    Thank you
  2. Sanjar
    I mean it should be capitalised, but in DERECOGNITION paragraph in brackets in says transaction cost goes to P/L, that's wrong isn't it?

    Hi Sir,

    Thanks for the great lecure, In the financial assets initial recognition it says in the note that financial assets are initially recognised at fair value, unless classified as FVTPL. just wonder how would we account it in the SFP if it is not classified asFVTPL initially? Thanks!

    Dear Sir, I have a question
    Why in example 1 - Financial assets part a: the transaction cost $0.25 should be capital in initial measurement, right? why do you note that as expenses?

    This was a great lecture. I now have a better understanding of financial assets and how they are recorded. The debentures was a little tricky because of the terminologies used; especially where the coupon rate is actually calculated on the par value.

    The journal entries also made things quite clear for me personally. Thanks

    Example 1 part 3

    My thinking that the effective interest rate is supposed to be used in discounting cash flows as opposed to actually using it to compute finance income as done by the lecturer.

    I mean that the EIR should be used in discounting the 40,000 future payments and the future payment of 100 plus premium.

    Could you please clarify on this or explain a little bit more.

    Hi there, for the effective interest rate you need to calculate IRR, Internal rate of return. You can use the excel Function to find that, which is the rate at which the present value of all the cash flows from the initial investment and future payments plus premium will become zero. If you use the effective rate of interest to discount the future payments you will arrive at the initial fair value of the investment, so why would we bother? we can just use the initial investment amount less discount and transaction costs.

    Many thanks for this insightful lecture. What about the premium of 5%. How is it treated. Would we ignore until we intend to redeem?. What if the debenture was purchased at a premium of say 5%; how would it have been treated?

    hi question concerning the debentures. after doing the calculation im getting $1049510 as c/d in the 4th year. shouldnt be nil at the end of the year?? can you clarify please thank you
  10. olumuyiwanike
    I think what you missed out in the calculation is that you didn't factor into the calculation the redemption value of $1,050,000. If this is factored in you'll probably be getting nil balance, subject to rounding errors.
  11. Lucie13Supporter
    No. Why would it be zero when you own the asset? It should be close to 1050,000(Which you already had).
  12. Lucie13Supporter
    A light update to my post earlier, yes the balance at end of year four after the debt is repaid should be zero. Norman have to repay the capital + 5% premium.

    Do we show the coupon rate intrest and the effective rate intrest in the SCF?

    Hi,

    In example 2, the last financial asset, the interest income on the bond (5.71%), is this paid by the bond issuer or paid by Norman who bought the bond?
  15. simeonshow
    That's interest income receivable from the bond issuer. Then an asset in the book of Norman and liability in the books of the bond issuer.
  16. Lucie13Supporter
    This is the effective rate of interest which is rate of return.

    Sir, is there any lecture that will be going to upload sooner or later on the impairment of financial assets ?
  18. tamaramckenzie421
    Very clear!!!

    For example 2 part A - How did you determine that the default classification was FVTPL ?
