Hi Chris,
I hope you are doing well.
I’ve a question from chapter Financial assets and financial liabilities.
On 1/4/x7, a company issues 40,000 $1 redeemable preference shares with a coupon rate of 8% at par. They are redeemable at a large premium which gives them an effective finance cost of 12% p.a
How these redeemable preference shares appear in SFP for years ending 31/3/x8 and 20x9?
I’ve no problem doing the calculation but just a bit confused of how it is treated in the SFP. So, according to the answer 41,600 (20x8) and 43,392 (20x9) are both treated as non current liability. May I know why both years are treated as non current liability?
Ask the Tutor ACCA FR
Redeemable preference shares
Hi,
Why would you wish to classify them as current liabilities? The debt is redeemable in more than a year presumably so classified as a non-current liability.
Thanks,
