Sandro has made all required interest payments to date. REQUIRED: Presented below are three independent situations. Prepare the journal entries that Sandro would make to record these restructurings from the date of restructuring through final settlement: On January 1, 2013, Botticelli National Bank agrees to accept land in exchange for relinquishing its claim on this note. The land has a book value of 51,950,000 and a fair value of $2,400,000. On January 1, 2013, Botticelli National Bank agrees to modify the terms of the note, indicating that Sandro does not have to pay any interest on the note over the 3-year period and that it will accept one lump sum payment of $3,375,000 three years from today to settle the note. On January 1, 2013, Botticelli National Bank agrees to reduce the principal balance due to $2,500,000 and to reduce the interest rate to 5% annually, payable at the end of each year.
