    In a june 2014 exam question it says “finance obtained from subsidised loan scheme which lends money at 100 basis points below 10-year government debt yield rate of 2.5%”

    What does government debt yield rate means ? and what will be the annual subsidy benefit on 100$ loan?

    Thanks 🙂

    The government debt yield rate is the return to investors on government debt.

    If they have a loan at 100 basis point below 2.5% then they pay 1.5% (and get a subsidy of 1%)

    Thank you for such a quick reply!

    In the past exam mark sheets, the answers multiply the subsidy percentage with (1-T). in this example it would have been 100$ x 1% x (1-30%).

    I dont seem to understand why do they take TAX into consideration on subsidy.

    Because they have brought in the benefit of the tax relief on interest and so it needs removing from the saving on the subsidy.
