question 69

Essay

Collier Port Authority has had a long-standing relationship with a nearby lumber company, which ships a significant amount of lumber through the port. To help finance the lumber company's operations, Collier advanced $10 million to them in return for a promissory note which specified payment of the $10 million, plus interest at 15%, due at the end of two years. However, due to adverse conditions in the lumber industry, the lumber company was unable to meet its obligation and pay Collier at the end of the two years. In light of the importance of the relationship between Collier and the lumber company, Collier extended the due date by three years (after the original two years), but increased the repayment amount to $14 million, inclusive of interest. The market interest rate for the loan remained at 15%.
Record the journal entries relating to the note receivable from the date of issuance to the restructuring date, inclusive.
