    hello,

    On 1 January 20X1 Penfold Co purchased a debt instrument at its fair value of $500,000. It
    had a principal amount of $550,000 and was due to mature in five years. The debt
    instrument carries a fixed interest of 6% paid annually in arrears and has an effective interest
    rate of 8%. It is held at amortized cost.
    At what amount will the debt instrument be shown in the statement of financial position
    of Penfold Co as of 31 December 20X2?

    My question is what is the significance/meaning of the following line:
    ‘It had a principal amount of $550,000’.

    Hi,

    It is referring to the amount at which it will redeemed in five years time. Personally, I’ve not really seen it presented as such in FR exams and it would usually talk about its redemption value.

    Thanks
