Problem - In 2X19, Land Corporation acquired land by paying and signing a note with a face value of P6,000,000. On the note's due date, December 31, 2X21, Land owed P480,000 of accrued interest and P6,000,000 on the note. Land was in financial difficulty and was unable to make any payments. To solve the problem, Land and the bank agreed to amend the note as follows:

-Extended the maturity to December 31, 2X23.

-The P480,000 interest due on December 31, 2X21 was forgiven.

-Land Corporation would be required to make an annual interest payment of P540,000 every December 31 starting 2X22.

-Transaction cost incurred that is directly related to the debt restructuring was P 16,850.

As of December 31, 2X21, the yield rate based on the restructured debt and after considering the amount of transaction cost is 6.24%.
