Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Debt Restructuring

The company is experiencing cash flow problems agreeing with lenders to renegotiate and expects them to agree with some favorable or flexible conditions so that the company can avoid bankruptcy. This process is known as debt restructuring.

02

(a) Explaining whether Barkley should record gain

No, by the debt restructuring arrangement, Barkley's gain does not equal American Bank's loss. (In the four following activities, you'll discover why this occurs.) The FASB was concerned that expanding the scope of its announcement would cause a delay in the release of GAAP for the creditor. Therefore, GAAP did not deal with debtor accounting about this "accounting asymmetry" treatment.

03

(b) Explaining whether Barkley Company records a gain under the term modification

The future cash flows following the restructuring are more than the whole pre-restructuring carrying value of the note (principal). Hence there is no gain under the new conditions.

Calculation of total cash flow after restructuring

Total future cash flows after restructuring are:

Principal

$2,400,000

Interest ($2,400,00010%3)

720,000

$3,120,000

The total pre-restructuring carrying amount of note(principal)

$3,000,000

Most popular questions from this chapter

All of the following are differences between IFRS and GAAP in accounting for liabilities except:

a) When a bond is issued at a discount, GAAP records the discount in a separate contra liability account. IFRS records the bond net of the discount.

b) Under IFRS, bond issuance costs reduce the carrying value of the debt. Under GAAP, these costs are recorded as an asset and amortized to expense over the terms of the bond.

c) GAAP, but not IFRS, uses the term 鈥渢roubled-debt restructurings.鈥

d) GAAP, but not IFRS, uses the term 鈥減rovisions鈥 for contingent liabilities which are accrued.

(Amortization Schedule鈥擡ffective-Interest) Assume the same information as E14-6.

Instructions

Set up a schedule of interest expense and discount amortization under the effective-interest method. (Hint: The effective-interest rate must be computed.)

Question: Zopf Company sells its bonds at a premium and applies the effective-interest method in amortizing the premium. Will the annual interest expense increase or decrease over the life of the bonds? Explain.

Distinguish between the following values relative to bonds payable:

(a) Maturity value. (c) Market (fair) value.

(b) Face value. (d) Par value.

Foreman Company issued $800,000 of 10%, 20-year bonds on January 1, 2017, at 119.792 to yield 8%. Interest is payable semi-annually on July 1 and January 1. Prepare the journal entries to record (a) the issuance of the bonds, (b) the payment of interest and the related amortization on July 1, 2017, and (c) the accrual of interest and the related amortization on December 31, 2017. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
