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 October 26, 2023 at 2:27 am #693988I’ve attempted the question and the information is there for the SOPL and SOFP in the answer
