Jolee · Answer 1

(a) $210,000

(b) $351,500

Explanation:

(a) Given that,

Fair value of equipment = $1,440,000

Face Amount of the note = $1,230,000

Gain on sale:

= Fair value of equipment - Face Amount of the note

= $1,440,000 - $1,230,000

= $210,000

(b) Given that,

Accrued Interest Payable = $290,000

Interest rate = 5%

Gain on the partial settlement and restructure of the debt:

= Accrued Interest Payable + (Face amount of note * Interest rate)

= $290,000 + ($1,230,000 * 5%)

= $290,000 + $61,500

= $351,500
