To Prepare: The journal entry to record the gain on disposal of the assets.

Explanation of Solution

Prepare journal entry for gain on disposal of land.

Date		Account Title and Explanation			Debit ($)	Credit ($)
		Land			3,000,000
			Gain on Disposal of Assets			3,000,000
				(To record gain on disposition of assets)

Table (1)

Working notes:

Calculate the amount of gain on disposition.

(1)

Hence, gain on disposal of assets amount is $3,000,000.

• Land is a non – current asset, and it is increased. Therefore, debit land account for $3,000,000.
• Gain on disposal of asset is a component of stockholders’ equity, and it is increased. Therefore, credit gain on disposal of asset amount is $3,000,000.

Date		Account Title and Explanation	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
	Notes Payable		20,000,000
	Interest Payable (2)		2,000,000
	Gain on Troubled Debt Restructuring (3)			6,000,000
	Land			16,000,000
	(To record restructuring of the debt)

Table (2)

Working notes:

Hence, interest payable amount is $2,000,000.

(2)

Calculate the amount of gain on troubled debt restructuring.

Hence, gain on troubled debt restructuring amount is $6,000,000.

(3)

• Notes payable is a long term liability, and it is decreased. Therefore, debit notes payable account for $20,000,000.
• Interest payable is a current liability, and it is decreased. Therefore, debit interest payable account for $2,000,000.
• Gain on troubled debt restructuring is a component of stockholders’ equity, and it is increased. Therefore, credit gain on troubled debt restructuring account for $6,000,000.

				(To record restructuring of the debt)

Table (3)

Working notes:

Calculate the amount of interest payable.

Hence, interest payable amount is $2,000,000.

(4)

Calculate the amount of gain on troubled debt restructuring.

Hence, gain on debt restructuring amount is $3,000,000.

(5)

• Notes payable is a long term liability, and it is decreased. Therefore, debit notes payable account for $2,000,000.
• Interest payable is a current liability, and it is decreased. Therefore, interest payable account for $2,000,000.

To determine

To Prepare: The journal entry to record the restructuring of the debt at January 1, 2016.

Explanation of Solution

The future payment of debt $27,775,000 is more than the present value of debt $22,000,000 . Hence, no reduction of the existing debt is required. Therefore, no journal entry is required at the time of restructuring of the debt at January 1, 2016.

Working note:

Figure (1)

The following is journal entry for restructuring of the debt at December 31, 2016:

Date		Account Title and Explanation			Debit ($)	Credit ($)
2016		Interest Expense			1,320,000
December	31
			Interest Payable			1,320,000
				(To record interest expense)

Table (6)

Working notes:

Calculate the present value factor.

Hence, present value factor is 0.79208.

Find the interest rate from Table 2 (present value $1) in Appendix.

In row 4 of Table 2, the value of 0.79208 is in 6% column.

Hence, the effective rate of interest is 6%.

Calculate the amount of interest expense.

Hence, interest expense amount is $1,320,000.

• Interest expense is a component of stockholders’ equity, and it is decreased. Therefore, debit interest expense account for $1,320,000.
• Interest payable is a current liability, and it is increased. Therefore, credit interest payable account for $1,320,000.
