    In SD21, question on Zhichi Co

    To calculate Subsidize loan benefit, the examiner’s answer is : 80*(4.8%-1.8%)

    I understand that since interest rate of subsidize loan is 180 points lower than risk free rate 4.8%, Subsidize loan benefit should be: 80*1.8%

    Please help me explain why.
    Thank you.

    They are actually paying interest of 4.8 – 1.8 = 3%.

    The normal cost of borrowing for the company is 6% and therefore the benefit of the subsidised loan in 6 – 3 = 3%.

    Thank you.
    I misunderstood that 3% = 4.8%-1.8%
