    Sir,

    When a company issues a loan note and there’s a transaction cost , this reduces the value of the liability right ? However , what is the accounting entry of the transaction cost ? Does it go to the Income Statement as an expense ?

    Think “double-entry” and you’ve just stated that the transaction costs reduce the liability

    What entryis needed to reduce a liability?

    Debit

    So there’s the debit and the credit is …

    … in Cash

    OK?
