illustration – an entity raises finance by issuing $600,000 4% debentures, redeemable in 3 years’ time at a premium of $33,367. You are told that the effective rate of interest is 7%. No election has been made to treat the liability at FVTPL so it will be accounted for on an amortised cost basis. Issue costs of $20,000 were incurred.
My question is, how did the figure of $33,367 come about?
How was it calculated? I understand the solution and the subsequent measurement, but I can’t understand how we initially calculated the premium.
Thankyou
In an exam question, that figure will be given to you
In practice, the financial advisor / accountant / CFO / sponsoring bank will have calculated that figure using the company’s cost of capital (and probably an Excel spreadsheet!) to arrive at $33,367
OK?
