Step by step solution

Meaning of Debt restructuring

The company facing cash flow issues can avoid bankruptcy by agreeing with lenders to renegotiate favorable or flexible conditions. We call this procedure "debt restructuring."

(a) Computing loss and Preparing journal entry

The loss can be calculated as follows:

The pre-restructuring carrying amount of note	$3,000,000
Less: Present value of restructured future cash flows:
Present value of principal $1,900,000 due in 3 years at 12% $1,352,382
Present value of interest $190,000 Paid annually for 3 years at 12% 456,348	1,808,730
Loss on the restructuring of debt	$1,191,270

Working note:

Calculation of Present value of principal $1,900,000 due in 3 years at 12%

$\begin{array}{rcl} P r e s e n t v a l u e & = & P r i n c i p a l v a l u e \times P V f a c t o r \\ = & $ 1, 900, 000 \times 0.71178 \\ = & $ 1, 352, 382 \end{array}$

Calculation of Present value of interest $190,000 Paid annually for 3 years at 12%

$\begin{array}{rcl} P r e s e n t v a l u e & = & P r i n c i p a l v a l u e i n t e r t e s t \times P V f a c t o r \\ = & $ 190, 000 \times 2.40183 \\ = & $ 456, 348 \end{array}$
