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%.

  1. Prepare journal entries for Strickland Company and Moran State Bank to record this debt settlement.
  2. How should Strickland report the gain or loss on the disposition of machine and on restructuring of debt in its 2017 income statement?
  3. Assume that, instead of transferring the machine, Strickland decides to grant 15,000 shares of its common stock (\)10 par) which has a fair value of $180,000 in full settlement of the loan obligation. If Moran State Bank treats Strickland’s stock as a trading investment, prepare the entries to record the transaction for both parties.
