    Exactly, so the answer given behind Kaplan kit which says Floating charge creditors is wrong?

    Also the company is liquidating in this case

    Unless you’ve not typed out the full question (and I suspect that you haven’t!) it seems to me that the Kaplan answer is incorrect

    There has to be SOME funds set aside for the creditors ranking lower down the order of distribution but I’m not aware of any situation where the floaters are paid in presence to the fixed

    OK?

    The full question is; In context of company finance which of the following is usually paid FIRST on liquidation of a company?
    A. Floating charge creditors
    B. Ordinary shareholders
    C. Fixed charge creditors
    D. Preference shareholders

    And the answer given is A.

    Also, I’m genuinely so grateful for your lecture of this topic and all other topics.. you’re my new favorite, you’ve explained it so well Sir, thanks a ton!!!!
