Brewer Inc. is owed $212,000 by Carol Co. under a 10% note with two years remaining to maturity. Due to financial difficulties Carol Co. did not pay the prior year's interest. Brewer agrees to settle the receivable (and accrued interest) in exchange for a cash payment of $162,000. The journal entry that Brewer would make to record this transaction would include a loss on troubled debt restructuring as bad debt expense in the amount of:

                                         General Journal

Date       Accounts Titles and Explanations       Debit        Credit

              Cash                                                     $162,000

              Loss on troubled debt                         $71,200

               restructuring (plug)  

                      Accrued Interest Receivable

                      ($212,000*10%)                                               $21,200

                       Note Receivable                                            $212,000

              (To record loss on troubled debt restructuring on settlement)  

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
