How to separate embedded derivative from host
Records the initial recognition of a hybrid contract where an embedded derivative is separated from a financial liability host.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | Asset | 100,000.00 | - |
| Financial Liability (Amortized Cost) | Liability | - | 92,000.00 |
| Embedded Derivative (FVTPL) | Liability | - | 8,000.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
When a hybrid contract contains a host that is not an asset within the scope of IFRS 9, the embedded derivative must be separated if it meets specific criteria. The host is recorded at the residual amount or fair value, and the derivative is recorded at fair value.
