    • 2 Amortised cost
    • 3 Fair value through profit or loss

  2. A loan note is issued at $95,000 net of costs, with a nominal value of $100,000, a coupon of 5 percent and an effective rate of 8 percent. The liability at the end of year 1 is:

    • 1 $100,000
    • 2 $97,600
    • 3 $102,600
    • 4 $95,000
    Show answer

    Correct answer: $97,600

    Finance cost is 95,000 x 8% = 7,600. The liability is 95,000 + 7,600 - 5,000 = 97,600.

    • 2 Amortised cost
    • 3 Fair value through other comprehensive income, irrevocably

    • 1 Other comprehensive income
    • 2 Goodwill
    • 3 Profit or loss immediately
    • 4 Retained earnings directly
    Show answer

    Correct answer: Other comprehensive income

    The ineffective portion goes to profit or loss. The OCI amount is later reclassified when the hedged item affects profit.

  6. For a convertible bond, the equity component is measured as:

    • 1 The coupon
    • 2 The market value of the shares
    • 3 The nominal value of the shares
    • 4 The proceeds less the fair value of the liability component
    Show answer

    Correct answer: The proceeds less the fair value of the liability component

    The liability is measured at the present value of cash flows at the market rate for a similar non-convertible debt, and the residual is equity.
