Can i get some assistance please?
Hi,
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
I’ve attempted the question and the information is there for the SOPL and SOFP in the answer
