    Hi,
    I’m currently working on Tin Co (Mar/Jun 2018) Part a iii) – I can’t seem to work out where the 6% of the finance costs come from?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Sorry, for the confusion, i should have been clearer.

    The question a (iii) Assuming debt finance is used, calculate the revised earnings per share after the business expansion. (3 marks)

    The finance cost interest = 475 (=315+160)
    The extra interest is 160, which according to the answer it’s 2000 x 6%, which i don’t understand as 2000 x 6% = 120 not 160. and i don’t know where the 6% comes from?

    Please, can you help me?

    So
    It’s the 2 million in debt at 8% which gives 160(000)

    So its raising either debt or equity for 2 million
    Through 8% loan notes .. so the extra interest is 2m * 8% = 160,000

    I cannot see 6%?

    Look at the ACCA answer which you can locate

    I was using BPP P&R kit and was confused on the answer as it said 2m * 0.06, looks like it could be a typo.

    Thank you, I’ll check out the /fm-2018-marjun-hybrid-a.pdf
