October 23, 2023 at 2:06 pm #693884Hi,
Yes, I’d be happy to help but I’d like to see you attempt the question first and let me know which part you are specifically struggling with. I can’t see any of this from what you’ve included above, sorry. If you show me then I can help.
What you need to show is the finance cost on the SPL and the loan and any PPE on the SFP.
Thanks
