- On December 31, 2018, Blackpink Company, a financing institution lent ₱15,000,000 to YG Corp. due 3 years after. The loan is supported by an 12% note receivable. Based on the company’s initial estimates the present value of the 12 months expected credit loss (ECL) discounted at 10% is at 2,000,000. The probability of default (PD) is at 7%. Blackpink Company was able to collect interest as it became due at the end of 2019. There was no evidence of significant increase in credit risk by the end 2019 and that the receivable is determined to have “low credit risk”. There were no changes in its initial estimate of the 12 months expected credit loss either. By the end of 2020, Blackpink Company was able to collect interest as it became due. Based on available forward-looking information (determinable without undue cost or effort), however, there is evidence that there was a significant increase in credit risk by the end of 2020. Blackpink Company therefore had to change its basis…arrow_forwardOn December 31, 2018, Blackpink Company, a financing institution lent ₱15,000,000 to YG Corp. due 3 years after.
