    Sir i struggle with 1 point. Sometimes bond question calcualte interest amount and directly go to finance cost of pl statement. but sometimes they are adjust between interest amount and payment and their differences go to finance cost. can you clarify for me their differences?. i share with you example questions:

    412
    Triage Co issued 400,000 $100 6% convertible loan notes on 1 April 20X5. Interest is 
    payable annually in arrears on 31 March each year. The loans can be converted to 
    equity shares on the basis of 20 shares for each $100 loan note on 31 March 20X8 or 
    redeemed at par for cash on the same date. An equivalent loan without the conversion 
    rights would have required an interest rate of 8%. 
    The present value of $1 receivable at the end of each year, based on discount rates of 
    6% and 8%, are:  6%  End of year  1 
    2  3  Non?current assets:  0.94  0.89  0.84 
    8%  0.93  0.86  0.79 

    413
    On 1 January 20X7, Haverford Co issued 80,000 $100 4% convertible loan notes. The 
    loan notes can be converted to equity shares on 31 December 20X9 or redeemed at 
    par on the same date. An equivalent loan without the conversion rights would have 
    required interest of 6%. Interest is payable annually in arrears on 31 December each 
    year. The annual payment has been included in finance costs for the year. The present 
    value of $1 receivable at the end of each year, based on discount rates of 4% and 6%, 
    are:  4%  End of year 1 
    End of year 2  End of year 3  (2) 
    0.962  0.925  0.889  6%  0.943  0.890 
    0.840 

    WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE QUESTIONS?

    here their answers

    412)
    (W1) 6% convertible loan notes
    The convertible loan notes are a compound financial instrument having a debt
    and an equity component which must both be quantified and accounted for
    separately:
    Year ended 31 March Outflow 8%
    factor
    Present
    value
    $000 $000
    20X6 Interest – $4m × 6% —2,400 0.93 2,232
    20X7 Interest ——————2,400 0.86 2,064
    20X8 Capital + interest —–42,400 0.79 33,496
    –––––––
    Debt component 37,792
    Equity component (= balance) 2,208
    –––––––
    Proceeds of issue 40,000
    –––––––
    The finance cost will be $3,023,000 (37,792 × 8%) and the carrying amount of
    the loan notes at 31 March 20X6 will be $38,415,000 (37,792 + 3,023 – 2,400).

    413)
    Working 1 – Convertible loan notes
    Payment Discount
    factor
    Present value
    $000 $000 $000
    20X7 320 0.943 302
    20X8 320 0.890 285
    20X9 8,320 0.840 6,989
    ––––––
    7,576
    ––––––
    As the full amount of $8m has been taken to liabilities, adjustment required is:
    Dr Liability $424,000
    Cr Equity $424,000
    The liability is then carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate.
    Balance Interest Payment Balance b/f 6% c/f
    $000 $000 $000 $000
    7,576 455 (320) 7,711

    As only $320k has been recorded in finance costs:
    Dr Finance costs $135k
    Cr Liability $135k

    Hi,

    In 413 they have tried to account for the loan notes but done so incorrectly. The payment made is not taken through profit or loss, it reduces the value of the loan notes.

    So, we need to correct their error in this question whereas in the other we just do the normal accounting treatment.

    Thanks
