So having done that element of looping back, I'm now going to carefully flip that switch, turn off iteration.
Hopefully I sold to you in the last video.
And we're going to keep looking and we're gonna say, okay, what's next? So we just did the debt service capacity charge, and now we did IDC and the debt service reserve account that completed the operations and source and uses.
We're now onto the p&l and we now need, again, circular protected lines for interest income and interest expense.
So we're going to say IF circ switch is 1, then let's go ahead and grab the interest income.
Otherwise nothing. We're gonna do that again for interest expense.
We need to be a little careful about where we get the interest from now because there's a distinction between IDC and interest, we need to be a little careful.
If we look down here on row 57 of debt, you can see total interest expense and this'll be the cash interest i.e., not the IDC.
And this is the one we want because that's what's gonna hit the P&L in the IDC period.
The interest will not hit the P&L 'cause it'll be capitalized into PP&E to be subsequently depreciated.
Now it's already a negative figure so we can leave that the way it is, pull this forward.
Nothing seems to happen better. See if it's working Alt F T and flip that switch and take a look.
Okay and it seems to be working okay and we are ready to move on to thin cap.
