Suppose a dairy farmer obtained a $100,000 loan to buy creamery equipment on June 1, 2016. There was no down payment, and the loan is payable over 5 years in equal payments of $20,000 due on June 1st each year (first payment June 1, 2017), with the remaining balance due at the end of the loan term. The annual interest rate is 5%.

Businesses often need to compute the amount of accrued interest payable as of the date of a financial statement, such as a balance sheet. Approximately how much accrued interest would this loan contribute to the dairy farmer’s year-end balance sheet for 2016?

The company is prohibited from purchasing, dealing in or lending money on its own shares

Corporate Law

The company is prohibited from purchasing, dealing in or lending money on its own shares. Therefore, a company is prohibited from buying back its shares, which tantamount to giving priority to the member who is selling his shares, over the company's creditors and other members. This transaction will also result in the reduction of the company's capital.

Based on the statement above critically discuss exceptions to the prohibition of share buy-back as provided under the Companies Act 2016. Support your answer with relevant statutory provisions of the Companies Act 2016 and decided cases.

Thanks advanced.
