I am using Kaplan study text and I am trying to understand this.
After spliting the financial liability into current & non-current element in compound instrument Q’.
After calculating the equity element as the difference between the liability element & loan proceeds then I calculate the amortised cost to get the Balance c/f at the each year-end as such:
Year Bal b/f Finance costs cash paid Bal c/f
1 4228 338 (100) 4466
2 4466 357 (100) 4723
3 4723 377 (100) 5000
Now, the kaplan classify the current & non-current as like this:
Non-current liability:
Financial liability 4466(yr1) 4723(yr2)
Current liability:
Financial liability 5000(yr3)
I don’t know why it is classify AS SUCH…
If I were to do this I would have done something like this:
Non-current liability:
Financial liability 4723(yr2) 5000(yr3)
Current liability:
Financial liability 4466(yr1)
PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME!!!
Hi,
The debt is not due to be repaid until the end of the third year so in years one and two the financial liability is non-current. When the debt gets to the end of the third year it will then be current as it will be paid at the start of the next year.
Thanks
