Question: (Restructure of Note under Different Circumstances) Halvor Corporation is having financial difficulty and therefore has asked Frontenac National Bank to restructure its \(5 million note outstanding. The present note has 3 years remaining and pays a current rate of interest of 10%. The present market rate for a loan of this nature is 12%. The note was issued at its face value.

Instructions

The following are four independent situations. Prepare the journal entry that Halvor and Frontenac National Bank would make for each of these restructurings.

(a) Frontenac National Bank agrees to take an equity interest in Halvor by accepting common stock valued at \)3,700,000 in exchange for relinquishing its claim on this note. The common stock has a par value of \(1,700,000.

(b) Frontenac National Bank agrees to accept land in exchange for relinquishing its claim on this note. The land has a book value of \)3,250,000 and a fair value of \(4,000,000.

(c) Frontenac National Bank agrees to modify the terms of the note, indicating that Halvor does not have to pay any interest on the note over the 3-year period.

(d) Frontenac National Bank agrees to reduce the principal balance due to \)4,166,667 and require interest only in the second and third year at a rate of 10%.

On January 1, Patterson Inc. issued \(5,000,000, 9% bonds for \)4,695,000. The market rate of interest for these bonds is 10%. Interest is payable annually on December 31. Patterson uses the effective-interest method of amortizing bond discount. At the end of the first year, Patterson should report bonds payable of:

(a) \(4,725,500. (c) \)258,050.

(b) \(4,714,500. (d) \)4,745,000

On March 1, 2017, Sealy Company sold its 5-year, $1,000 face value, 9% bonds dated March 1, 2017, at an effective annual interest rate (yield) of 11%. Interest is payable semiannually, and the first interest payment date is September 1, 2017. Sealy uses the effective-interest method of amortization. The bonds can be called by Sealy at 101 at any time on or after March 1, 2018.

Instructions

a. (1) How would the selling price of the bond be determined?

(2) Specify how all items related to the bonds would be presented in a balance sheet prepared immediately after the bond issue was sold.

b. What items related to the bond issue would be included in Sealy’s 2017 income statement, and how would each be determined?

c. Would the amount of bond discount amortization using the effective-interest method of amortization be lower in the second or third year of the life of the bond issue? Why?

d. Assuming that the bonds were called in and redeemed on March 1, 2018, how should Sealy report the redemption of the bonds on the 2018 income statement?

The following amortization and interest schedule reflects the issuance of 10-year bonds by Capulet Corporation on January 1, 2011, and the subsequent interest payments and charges. The company’s year-end is December 31, and financial statements are prepared once yearly.
