A troubled debt restructring problem to be solved?

Question

On December 31, 2014, Lakeside Inc. is in financial difficulty and cannot pay a $350,000 note (with a $35,000 accrued interest payable) to Stocking Corp. Stocking agrees to forgive the accrued interest, extend the maturity date to December 31, 2016 and reduce the interest rate to 4%. The present value of the new restructured cash flows is $299,500. What entry (if any) is required to record this troubled debt restructuring?

Many thx!

Answer

But try to keep bankruptcy as a last resort and consider other alternatives before making such a decision. The best one would be debt settlement. This is when you negotiate with your creditors and so reduce your debt by quite an amount.
