Therefore the price of such bond shall be the actual amount paid for the bonds ie 48,35,590 (50,00,000/1.034).Since, p226 has decided to account these investments as FVTPL, the transaction costs shall be written-off to P/L immediately.
b). As per IFRS 9, where a financial instrument is credit impaired,the entity applies the effective interest rate to the amortized cost balance, which is the gross carrying amount adjusted for any loss allowance. Further, where debt instruments are measured at FVTPL, impairment of financial assets does not apply and therefore, interest shall be calculated on the gross carrying amount ie 50,00,000. Hence
