    On 1 January 20X1 Penfold Co purchased a debt instrument at its fair value of $500,000. It had a principal
    amount of $550,000 and was due to mature in five years. The debt instrument carries fixed interest of 6%
    paid annually in arrears and has an effective interest rate of 8%. It is held at amortised cost.
    At what amount will the debt instrument be shown in the statement of financial position of Penfold Co as at
    31 December 20X2?
    the answer is
    1 January 20X1 500,000
    Interest 8% 40,000
    Interest received (550,000 × 6%) (33,000)
    31 December 20X1 507,000
    Interest 8% 40,560
    Interest received (33,000)
    31 December 20X2 514,560

    i didn’t quite understand the answer , the debt instrument under amortised cost is FV plus transaction cost that mean
    550 + (550*0.08)-( 500*0.06)
    so why they use 500 which is only FV ??

    Hi,

    The debt instrument is initially recorded at the amount paid net of transaction costs. We paid $500,000 for this debt instrument and so this is why we use this figure prior to adjsuting for any transaction costs.

    Thanks
