    We calculated the present value of all the cash flows that would be necessary to service the loan

    The present value is the TODAY value of tomorrow’s payments

    When we have calculated that today value and deducted that from the face value of this convertible loan, we arrive at the equity element

    Have you tried question 15 on page 213 of the free course notes on this site? As well as all the other 15 questions in that section of the course notes?

    All 16 questions are extracts from past examinations all, without exception, this topic is worth AT LEAST 3 marks and often 4 marks in a question such as Xtol

    Let me get you started … open2 T accounts, one for deferred tax and one fpr current tax

    Put in the figures from the trila balance making sure that you enter those figures on the correct side of the two T accounts

    Put in the 2 provisions (one in each T account)

    Balance off deferred tax and transfer the balance to the current tax account

    Balance off the current tax account and take the balancing figure to the statement of profit or loss as the tax charge for the year

    Now do the other 15 exercises and get yourself into a position where you can GUARANTEE 3 (possibly 4) marks in an exam and achieve those marks in less than 60 seconds

    Do NOT enter that exam room without being confident about scoring these easy tax marks!

    OK?
