    Hi,

    The finance cost is an expense (a debit entry) and so we DR Finance cost CR Financial liability, and therefore add it to the b/f liability balance.

    The coupon payment is a cash payment (a credit entry) and so we DR Financial liability CR Bank, and therefore deduct it from the b/f liability balance.

    Hope that clears it up for you.

    Thanks
