Because the new effective interest rate is 0%, all of the future cash flows
reduce the principal balance, and no interest expense would be recognized by
the debtor throughout the remainder of the note.
Federal Bank would calculate its loss based upon the expected future cash
flows discounted at the historical effective rate of the loan. The loss on
restructuring is written off against the allowance account and the note
receivable is reduced.
