Sage Corporation is having financial difficulty and therefore has asked Pronghorn National Bank to restructure its $6 million note outstanding. The present note has 3 years remaining and pays a current rate of interest of 8%. The present market rate for a loan of this nature is 12%. The note was issued at its face value. The following are four independent situations. Prepare the journal entry that Sage and Pronghorn National Bank would make for each of these restructurings. (Round present value factor calculations to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and the final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 58,971. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. List all debit entries before credit entries.)
