Hi, It is stated that a loan will be repaid at 20 years in premium of $5m. Does this mean that the loan will be paid at $65m? Or the premium is separately recognised only in p/l using effective cost. Thank you..

Assuming the loan principle is $60m - yes, exactly that. (I don't have the question to hand.) Your "or ...." is incorrect - it should be AND .... although the extra $5m cash flow is when the liability is finally repaid, this additional finance cost (over and above the 6% "coupon" interest rate) will be "wrapped up" in the calculation of effective interest rate.
