    I’m confused with basis points!

    If debt is available at 5.2% less 30 basis points, is this 0.052 – 0.003?

    If 10% less 100 basis points, is this 0.100 – 0.010?
    Correct?

    Mar Jun question 2. Please explain how there’s a “tax relief loss” for years 2 to 5?
    Thanks a lot.

    1 basis point is 0.01%.
    (so 5.2% less 30 basis points is 5.20 – 0.30 = 4.90%)

    With regard to your second question, please say for which year the question is in.

    In year 1 there is a loss for tax purposes of 14,650. Therefore there is no tax payable, and the loss is subtracted from future years taxable profits.
