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

(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%

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)

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) 7,711As only $320k has been recorded in finance costs:
Dr Finance costs $135k
Cr Liability $135kAugust 17, 2024 at 8:21 am #709931Hi,
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
