Hi John, On the above question, we've been asked to forecast the P/L and balance sheet. As per the question, the short-term borrowing will be the balancing figure. However, I cannot get the balancing figure until I have the reserves for the year, and I cannot have the reserves amount until i have the profit for the year. And to arrive at the profit, I need to know the net interest payable for which i need to know the short-term loan amount(which is the balancing figure) to consider its interest. I don't know if i am missing anything on the question, could you please help me on this? Thank you.

Well i have d same problem. But i cant find anoopej comment.

I don't know what has happened to anoopej's comment :-) Note (vi) says that interest is effective in the following year. So the interest payable each year is based on the amount owing at the end of the previous year.
