    Hi,
    When bond issuing, how do we recognise the cost of issue and discount

    Recognise Cost of issue is a asset and amortise it

    or deduct it like discount to arrive the final liablities like loan or redeemable share

    Recognise as an asset and depreciate …… but there’s a lot of controversy about it. For example, is it an asset?

    thank you alot, to day i do a kit and got stuck in this problem ” Trade in allowance “, i search the book of bpp and can find the explanation
    ” Old equipment that had cost 6ml and replace with new eqip had gross cost 8mil, the equipment manufacture allow ” trade in allowance ” for 0.5ml.

    Is the ” trade in allowance ” = cost of equip 6ml – acc’dep’ – trade in value

    and would you please clearly explain the record transaction in this case.

    When you sell your car and buy a new one, you could go to the garage and ask “How much is this new car?” Let’s say it’s $20,000

    Ok, then you say to the sales person “How much will you deduct from the $20,000 if I give you my old car?”

    The sales person says “$4,000” so you give away the old car and you pay $16,000 and drive away with a new car

    The trade-in allowance is the $4,000 that you were “allowed” to deduct from the cost of the new car. It’s instead of selling the old one for cash and then having to pay the full $20,000

    Ok?
