5. Miller Bank loaned P5,000,000 to Brenda Company on January 1, 2021. The terms of the loan
require the principal payment of P5,000,000 to be made after 5 years on December 31, 2025,
and interest at 12% to be paid annually on December 31.
The first interest payment is due on December 31, 2021. Brenda Company made the required
interest payment during 2021.
However, during 2022 Brenda Company began to experience financial difficulties, which led to
the default of the 2022 required interest payment. Miller, however still accrued interest on
December 31, 2022.
Brenda again defaulted in its 2023 interest payment. On December 31, 2023, Miller did not
continue to accrue interest and determined that the remaining principal payment will be collected
but it is probable that the accrued interest in 2022 and all other interest payments including
within 2023 will not be paid.
However, during 2022 Watson Company began to experience financial difficulties and was not
able to pay the next installment of principal and interest, this required Burnham to reassess the
collectibility of the loan.
On December 31, 2023, Burnham determined that the remaining principal payment will be
collected annually starting December 31, 2024, and only the collection of the 2022 accrued
interest will be collected with the collection of the last installment of the principal payment on
December 31, 2026.
Assume that Burnham accrued interest on December 31, 2022, but did not continue to accrue
interest because of its uncollectibility.
