Hello Sir!
Qn: Trailer has made a loan of $50 million to a charitable organisation for the building of new sporting facilities. The loan was made on 1 June 2012 and is repayable on maturity in three years’ time. Interest is to be charged one year in arrears at 3%, but Trailer assesses that an unsubsidised rate for such a loan would have been 6%. The only accounting entries which have been made for the year ended 31 May 2013 are the cash entries for the loan and interest received which have resulted in a balance of $48·5 million being shown as a financial asset.
My requirement is to know its actual classification and the reason why?
…..——-…………———………….————……………——-………..———–…………——In the answer, this question is solved by considering it a Financial Asset (which I agree), as it shows that the company is lending a loan to another organization.
Plus it also shows that it comes under FV through amortized cost (which I’m in doubt).
In my opinion, I find this transaction dealing with non-trading activity (charity), therefore it comes under FV through OCI.
What is your suggestion?
Thank you.
