How this was worked out
Work shownrecomputed as you type
Future payments = new principal + new interest over the term (undiscounted)
Gain = carrying amount - future payments, if positive
No gain: new effective rate equates PV of future payments to carrying amount

The formulas

  • Future payments = new principal + new interest over the term (undiscounted)
  • Gain = carrying amount - future payments, if positive
  • No gain: new effective rate equates PV of future payments to carrying amount

How it works

ASC 470-60 governs the debtor's side of a troubled debt restructuring. When only the terms are modified, the debtor compares the carrying amount with the total undiscounted future cash payments under the new terms. If the payments are less, the debtor reduces the carrying amount to the payments, recognizes a gain, and recognizes no interest expense afterward. If not, there is no gain and interest is recognized prospectively at the rate that equates the payments to the carrying amount.

ASU 2022-02 removed TDR accounting for creditors that have adopted ASC 326. ASC 470-60 for debtors was not removed.

Common questions

What makes a restructuring troubled?

ASC 470-60 asks whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty and the creditor grants a concession it would not otherwise consider.

What if assets or equity settle the debt?

The debtor measures the gain against the fair value of what is transferred. This tool covers modification of terms only.

Are contingent payments included?

They are included in future payments to the extent needed to avoid recognizing a gain that might be reversed.
