At 30 June 2002 a company has $1m 8% loan notes in issue , interest being paid half-yearly on 30 june and 31 december.
On 30th september 2002 the company redeemed $250,000 of these loan notes at par, paying interest due to that date.
On 1st April 2003 the company issued $500,000 7% loan notes , interest payable half – yearly on 31 March and 30th September. What figure should appear in the company’s statement of profit or loss for interest payable in the year ended 30 june 2003?Sir i don’t get it how to solve this question.. i have watched your videos..Please explain this question

The year in question is 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2003.
As far as the 8% loan notes are concerned, there is interest on $1M from 1 July 2002 to 30 September 2002, so 3/12 x 8% x $1M. There is then interest on $750,000 from 1 October 3003 to 30 June 2003, so 9/12 x 8% x $750,000.
As far as the 7% loan notes are concerned, there is interest on $500,000 from 1 April 2003 to 30 June 2003, so 3/12 x 7% x $500,000.
