About this lesson
This video walks you through the two-stage process: initially splitting the proceeds between the liability (present value of future cash flows discounted at the non-conversion rate) and equity (the balancing figure), then accounting for the liability at amortised cost throughout its life. You'll see how to calculate the finance cost, track cash paid, and present the year-end liability on the statement of financial position—essential skills for handling complex financing instruments in your exam.
