acquisition of shares for loan notes

VVictoria10y ago
one more question, Mike, help needed, please for every 1,000 shares acquired, P is to issue a 4.5% $100 loan note values at par. we bought 85% of S 600,000 shares. the market price of the S shares was $2.20 at the moment. how should we account for this in our FS?

could it be this way: 4.5% loan notes (600,000 x 85% x 100/1,000) = $51,000? just desperately tried to apply my critical thinking skills to the issue in your absence :))

That's absolutely correct - well done with your critical thinking!
