    Hello Sir,
    I would like to ask why the calculation of the amortization cost of the financial debt instrument (asset) are different?
    Based on the technical article on Acca website,
    https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/student/exam-support-resources/professional-exams-study-resources/strategic-business-reporting/technical-articles/ifrs-9.html#Impairment-of-financial-assets

    “(i) If classified as FVTPL
    This requires that the fair value of the bond is measured based upon expected future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of interest of 6% as follows:”

    They are using the discounting method which differs from the textbook and the opentuition note, which method is correct? Thank you.

    Hi,

    If the bond is held for trading then it will be FVTPL, but you are not really in need of this knowledge at FR, hence why it isn’t seen in the notes. The fair value of the bond is the present value of future cash flows.

    Thanks
