CHAPTER 21

UNDERSTANDING THE ISSUES


3. If a creditor is fully secured, by definition no
portion of their claim will become unsecured. However, if the value of the assets
securing their claim exceeds the amount of
the claim, such excess amounts will
become available to unsecured creditors.
The claims of partially secured creditors
exceed the value of the assets securing
their claims. Therefore, the unsecured
amounts are combined with the other existing unsecured claims. Once the total of all
unsecured claims is identified, those unsecured claims will proceed against the
remaining assets of the company in order
of priority.

1. Given a restructuring that is not under


bankruptcy law, the gain on restructuring is
measured as the amount by which the book
value of the debt, including accrued interest, exceeds the total of all restructured
principal and interest payments. If the total
payments exceed the book value, no gain
is recognized. Note that the present value
of the payments received is not considered
in the determination of the gain. For a
restructuring that is under bankruptcy law,
the gain is measured as the amount by
which the book value of the debt, including
accrued interest, exceeds the fair value of
the restructured consideration received.
The value of the consideration received is
the net present value of the restructured
payments.

4. The statement of realization and liquidation


serves several purposes. First, it provides a
reporting of the activities of the trustee in
liquidation and helps discharge the fiduciary responsibility. The statement also
documents that available assets are being
distributed properly among the various
creditors and in the proper order of priority.
A review of the statement may also provide
outstanding creditors with some sense of
how much they may receive in satisfaction
of their claims.

2. A corporate reorganization is a legal remedy designed to restructure the debt and/or


equity of a troubled company so that the
company may continue to operate and
ultimately become financially sound. The
ultimate goal of a reorganization is to
provide a more attractive alternative than
liquidation and allow the company to continue its business purpose. A corporate
liquidation does not hold promise for a recovery but rather is designed to facilitate a
termination of the business. Assets of the
company are converted into a distributable
form and conveyed to creditors and shareholders to whatever extent possible. Upon
completion of the distribution of assets, the
business entity ceases to exist.

In order to eliminate the deficit in retained earnings, the contributed capital in excess of par value would be reduced to zero, and the par value of the common stock would have to be reduced
by $500,000.

EXERCISE 21-3
(1) The impact on the ratios is directly related to how each of the actions taken by management impacts the financial statements. The recognition of impairment losses will decrease
long-lived assets and decrease net income and corresponding shareholders equity. Future
periods will base depreciation/amortization on the long-lived assets on the lower impaired
value, which will increase future income. The restructuring of the long-term debt will result
in a restructuring gain. However, since the future cash payments are less than the carrying
basis of the original debt, no interest expense will be recognized in future periods. The
adjustment of the par value of common stock in order to eliminate the deficit in retained
earnings will have no impact on net income nor will it change the total amount of shareholders equity. Given the above, it would appear that the current ratio would be affected by
the current portion of the restructured debt. Given the fact that the payments are less than
the carrying basis of the original debt, the current portion could very easily be less and,
therefore, the current ratio could increase. It is clear that the debt restructuring would leave
the company with less debt, which, absent any other information, would result in a
decrease in the debt-to-equity ratio. However, the net effect on income of the impairment
loss and the gain on restructuring will obviously have an impact on equity. Therefore, the
debt-to-equity ratio must also reflect any changes due to these transactions. The return on
equity would be affected by the net effect on income of the impairment loss and the restructuring gain. This net effect would obviously impact net income and the balance in retained
earnings. The adjustment of par would have no effect on the return on equity because the
total equity is not changed as a result of eliminating the deficit.
(2) Net income in future periods would be affected by lower depreciation/amortization expense
and no interest expense on the new restructured debt.

Regarding Debt A: A gain on restructuring of $4,000 would be recognized because no other


consideration is being conveyed to satisfy the remaining debt. There would be no interest
expense.
Regarding Debt B: A gain on restructuring of $20,000 would be recognized because no other
consideration is being conveyed to satisfy the remaining debt. There would be no interest
expense.
Regarding Debt C: Because the total of the periodic payments is less than the remaining debt,
there would be a gain of restructuring in the amount of $28,000. Furthermore, because the periodic payments are less than the remaining debt, no interest expense would be recognized. All
periodic payments are considered to be a reduction of the revised principal amount due of
$300,000.
Regarding Debt D: Because the total of the periodic payments exceeds the remaining debt,
there is no gain on restructuring. The periodic payments totaling $320,000 therefore represent a
payment of the remaining principal amount due of $301,661 and total interest in the amount of
$18,339. The interest rate is that rate which discounts the five semiannual payments so that
their present value is $301,661. This semiannual rate is 2%, and the interest for the first six
months is $6,033 (2% $301,661).

$ 641,996

Note A: The carrying value of the debt that is not forgiven is $1,972,737 ($2,100,000
$200,000 + $72,737). If this debt is to be serviced over 60 months at an interest rate of 8%,
the monthly payments are $40,000. The total of these payments is $2,400,000 ($40,000
60 months). The net present value of these payments using a market rate of interest of 13%
is $1,758,004.
Note B: Under the nonbankruptcy approach, a gain on restructuring results only if the sum of
the future payments is less than the carrying basis of the restructured debt. Under the bankruptcy approach, a gain is recognized to the extent that the fair value of the consideration
received ($1,758,004) is less than the carrying basis of the restructured debt ($1,972,737).
Note C: Under the nonbankruptcy approach, the total interest expense is represented by the
difference between the sum of the future payments ($2,400,000) and the carrying basis of
the restructured debt ($1,972,737). In a bankruptcy approach, the total interest expense is
represented by the difference between the sum of the payments ($2,400,000) and the present value of the future payments using a market rate of interest ($1,758,004).

(2) Given a nonbankruptcy approach, Alternative B would be preferable since it involves giving
up the least net present value in satisfaction of the original debt. Furthermore, Alternative B
retains some of the cash that was realized from the sale of the land. It is possible that this
cash can be put to a more productive use rather than being invested in a nonoperating asset such as idle land. If interest rates were to rise over time, it might be advantageous to
lock into an interest rate for a longer period of time. Alternative B has a lower net present
value of consideration given up in satisfaction of the debt than does Alternative A as set
forth below.

*Difference due to rounding errors.

Note A: The payment is based on a present value of $40,000, a period of three months, and an
interest rate of 1% per month.
Note B: The present value of the three payments of $20,000 at a monthly interest rate of 1% is
$58,820. The amount to be received if a liquidation is the $46,000 plus the remaining unsecured
amount of $28,000 times 74.34%.
Note C: The present value of the five payments of $3,000 at a monthly interest rate of 1% is
$14,560. The amount to be received upon liquidation is $20,000 times 74.34%.
Note D: The payment that would be the lowest is one based on a present value of $338,000, a
term of 42 months, and an interest rate of 11%. The payment would be $9,732. The amount to
be received upon liquidation is $325,000 plus 74.34% of the unsecured portion of $13,000.
Note E: In addition to the $15,000 secured amount, the shareholder would have received
74.34% of the remaining $5,000, or $3,717, for a total of $18,717. The payments to equal 120%
of this amount ($22,460), given a term of four semiannual periods and an interest rate of 12%,
would be $6,482.
Note F: The payment is based on a present value of $448,000, a period of 360 months, and an
interest rate of 11%.
Note G: The unsecured creditors would have received 74.34% as a dividend, or $118,944.
110% of this amount would be equal to $130,838. The payments necessary to equal this present value, given eight monthly periods and an interest rate of 12%, is $17,099.

*$46,000 + $325,000 + $15,000 from insurance policy.
The goals set by management have been met. The restructuring will result in monthly payments
of $74,180 which is less than the target of $75,000 and the net present value of the restructuring
is greater than the amount that would be received under a liquidation.

(a) To recognize impairment in the value of receivables and inventory.


(b) To recognize impairment in the value of equipment and goodwill.
(c) To reclassify note between current and noncurrent given the new payment of $10,450
($35,000 is the present value of four payments at 7.5% interest).
(d) To recognize restructuring gain. 12 payments of $120,000 = $1,440,000. Therefore, the
restructuring gain is $60,000, and all payments are considered to be principal only. Because the total of all payments is less than the book value of the note, all payments are
considered to be principal.
(e) To record quasi-reorganization by adjusting par value of common stock and eliminating
contributed capital in excess of par.
(2) Calculation of ratios:

Current ratio ............................................


Debt-to-equity..........................................

*The debt-to-equity ratio is not meaningful in that there is negative equity. The adjusted assets total $1,475,000, and the adjusted debt totals $1,760,000. All assets are being financed by debt capital.

832

Ch. 21Problems

Problem 21-3, Concluded


(3) The above ratios have not improved as a result of managements actions. However, several
benefits may not be apparent from the ratio analysis. First, management has a balance
sheet that more clearly reflects market values. Second, the recognition of impairment losses
on equipment will translate into lower depreciation expense in future years. It is also possible that impairment losses on current assets will result in lower near-term expense levels
associated with bad debt expense and cost of sales. These adjustments to expense levels
will result in an improved measure of income. Third, the restructuring of the 7% note payable
results in the company paying out a lower net present value on the debt than would have
been the case had the debt not been restructured. Finally, the elimination of the deficit will
make it easier for the company to be in a position to return a dividend to its shareholders.
