Ipana Oy is a brewing company that was founded in 2011 and focuses on specialty beers. The company sells beer mainly to restaurants and wholesalers, and is currently focusing on increasing direct sales to customers.In addition, the company rents a small office space at a fairly moderate price (€3,200/month). The company produces the successful "Ipana IPA" beer, the selling price of which varies depending on the sales channel. The company prefers domestic raw materials, but most of the hops come from international suppliers. Raw material costs have remained at the same level in recent years, around €0.81/l. Although demand has grown over the years as a result of successful sales and marketing, the company's management is concerned that the company's turnover is dependent on a single product. Let's examine the financial period 1 January 2020-31 December 2020. At the beginning of the accounting period, Ipana oy has 200,000 liters of raw material in stock. It can be assumed that 1 liter of raw material can be used to produce 1 liter of Ipana IPA. In the  finished product warehouse, on the other hand, 150,000 liters of Ipana IPA are waiting for sale. The opening balance sheet for the fiscal year (January 1, 2020) looks like this: Assets (€)    Permanent assets - Fixed assets  15000000 Current assets - Stocks of raw material  162000 - Finished products  121500 - Accounts receivable  248000 - Disposable assets  146000 Liabilities (€)                         Equity - Share capital   9696500 - Accumulated results    0 - Profit or loss for the financial year    0 Current liabilities - Long-term loans   5100000 - Maturing loans   800000 - Accounts payable   81000 During the accounting period, Ipana oy buys 10100000 liters of raw material at a price of €0.81/l.

 Ipana Oy is a brewing company that was founded in 2011 and focuses on specialty beers. The company sells beer mainly to restaurants and wholesalers, and is currently focusing on increasing direct sales to customers.In addition, the company rents a small office space at a fairly moderate price (€3,200/month). The company produces the successful "Ipana IPA" beer, the selling price of which varies depending on the sales channel. The company prefers domestic raw materials, but most of the hops come from international suppliers. Raw material costs have remained at the same level in recent years, around €0.81/l. Although demand has grown over the years as a result of successful sales and marketing, the company's management is concerned that the company's turnover is dependent on a single product.

At the end of the financial year, the company has trade receivables for €282,720 and accounts payable for €90,720. The company pays the due loans at the end of the financial year, and at the same time takes out a new loan for a total of €650,000. There is a total of €600,000 in loans due in the next fiscal year. The financiers charge an average 4% interest on the loan capital. The interest rate also corresponds to the expected return on debt, while the expected return on equity is 12%. Depreciation for the financial year is €750,000 and the company invests €1,200,000 in new production equipment during the financial year.

Follow-up Question

Hello,the answer is incorrect

Here's a hint:

The interest for the financial period is calculated from the sum of the long-term interest the company had during the financial period and the short-term interest due in that financial period. Interest is not paid, for example, on accounts payable.

Concretely, the interest is therefore calculated from the values according to the opening balance sheet of the financial period, long-term + maturing bank loans.

A new loan taken out at the end of the accounting period is not reflected in the interest paid during the accounting period.
