Question

4.Troubled debt A Company E has an unpaid note for $60,000 on January 1, 2011. The note was written at 9% annual interest. There is also accrued unpaid interest of $6,000. Company E transfers a piece of land to the bank in partial satisfaction of the note. The land has a cost of $16,000 and a market value of $18,000. The bank reduces the loan by the value of the land and agrees to forgive the accrued interest. The bank then requires four annual future payments of $13,500, due each December 31, starting on December 31, 2011.

Explanation / Answer

For the debtor:

Entries as on January 01,2011:

Note payable Account DR 18000

Accrued Interest DR 6000

Land CR 18000

Abnormal gain CR 6000

Note: It is assumed that land has been revalued by debtor before transferring to bank

Restrucured loan amount = 60000 - 18000 = 42000

Interest for 1 year on restructured loan = 42000*11% = 4620 (Calculation of 11% is shown below)

Journal entry as on December 31,2011:

Note payable DR 8880 (13500 - 4620)

Interest expense DR 4620

Bank CR 13500

For the bank:

To prepare amortisation table, we need to find interest rate charged by bank on restructured loan.

Outflow = Inflow

42000 = 13500*present value annuity factor(r,4)

42000/13500 = present value annuity factor(r,4)

3.1111 = present value annuity factor(r,4)

r = 11% (approx)

Preparation of Amortisation table:

Year Opening Interest Payment Closing

1 42000 42000*11% = 4620 13500 33120

2 33120 3643.20 13500 23263.20

3 23263.20 2559 13500 12322.20

4   12322.20 1177.80 13500 0

Entries as on January 01,2011:

Land DR 18000

Abnormal loss DR 6000

Accrued Interest CR 6000

Note receivable CR 18000

Journal entry as on December 31,2011:

Bank DR 13500

Note receivable CR 8880 (13500 - 4620)

Interest income CR 4620
