    Quincy issued a 25% million 6% loan on 31 October 2013. Issue costs were 1 million. Interest paid annually on 30 September each year. The loan will be redeemed on 30 Sep.2016 at a premium which gives an effective interest rate on the loan of 8 %.
    My answer.
    Year 1 1500(6%) x 0.92(8%) = 1380
    2 1500(6%) x 0.86(8%)=1290
    3 26500(6%) x0.79(86%)=20935

    Realised loan on 30Sept.2014 23605 +(23605×10%)=25965.5
    Finance cost for 2014 is 1380
    Is my answer true?
    Than in advance!

    You can see for yourself whether your answer is true – check it against the printed solution!

    What is a ‘25% million 6% loan’?

    Where does 86% fit in? ‘3 26500(6%) x0.79(86%)=20935’

    Where has 10% suddenly come from? ‘23605 +(23605×10%)=25965.5’

    How can this be correct? ‘Realised loan on 30Sept.2014 23605 +(23605×10%)=25965.5’ when the face value of the loan itself is only 25% million?

    No, your answer is not correct!

    2 careless mistakes cause by, I presume, mis-typing

    1 careless mistake using 10% instead of 8%

    1 careless mistake (what’s a ‘realised loan’?) showing a liability greater than the face value of the loan

    Carry these errors into the exam room and you’ll make life very difficult for yourself

    From 23,605 + (23,605 @ 8%) you need to deduct the 1,500 that is paid so the loan to be disclosed on the statement of financial position is 23,993

    OK?
