    Question) A company invests $5000 in 10% loan notes. The loan notes are repayable at a premium after 3 years. The effective rate of interest is 12%. The company intends to collect the contractual cashflows which consist solely of repayments of interest and capital and have therefore chosen to record the financial asset at amortised cost.

    What amounts will be shown in the statement of profit or loss and statement of financial position for years 1-3 ?

    I understand the answers in the answer key. But i dont understand the presentation in the statement of financial position.

    It stated the following.

    Year 1
    Non-current assets
    Investments 5100

    Year 2
    Current assets
    Investments 5212

    Year 3
    Non-current assets
    Investments 0

    Since its measured under Amortised cost , shouldn’t all the figues be presented under Non-current assets ? Why is year 2 classified as current assets ?

    Because at the end of year 2 the amount is payable within 12 months and it’s therefore current

    OK?

    Sol:

    y1 Non current assets: 600

    y2 Non current assets: 612

    y3 Non current assets: 625

    in kit solution it the investment income is treated as non cuurent assets in SOFP. why is this so?

    Hi,

    The interest income is based on the effective rate of 12%. This is then applied to the outstanding balance and added to it. If the investment is a non-current asset then we are adding it to this non-current asset figure.

    Thanks
