Problem 21-5 presents the balance sheet of St. John Corporation as of year-end 2015. Assume that the company is not able to service its debts and is unable to secure any significant restructuring arrangements from its primary lenders. As a result, St. John has decided to liquidate the corporation and has submitted a plan for liquidation. The plan has received all necessary approvals, and the liabilities affected by the plan are described as follows:
Accounts payable: Of these accounts, $400,000 is fully secured by claims against inventory with a book value of $430,000. The inventory was completed at an additional cost of $25,000, it was sold for $480,000, and the secured payables were paid. Another $320,000 of the payables is secured by the remaining inventory which is estimated to have a net realizable value of $200,000. The balance of the payables is unsecured.
Note payable —officer: This note is secured by the investment in Sky Industries which has a net realizable value of $320,000.
Bank A note payable: This note is secured by all of the equipment and the patent. Equipment with a book value of $800,000 has been sold for $700,000 by a broker who was paid a fee of $10,000. It is estimated that the balance of the equipment will have a net realizable value of $400,000. The patent was sold to an officer of the corporation for $250,000. Net proceeds from the collateral were paid to Bank A.
Bank B note payable: This note is secured by the development land. The land consists of two separate parcels with book values of $400,000 and $300,000. The $300,000 parcel was sold for $360,000 and it is estimated that the remaining parcel will have a net realizable value of $500,000.
Mortgage payable: This mortgage is secured by the manufacturing plant and other current assets with a book value of $130,000. The plant is currently listed for sale with an asking price of $1,800,000. Realistically, it is estimated that the plant could sell for $1,500,000 before commissions of $90,000. The other current assets securing the mortgage were sold for $100,000.
Other liabilities: $90,000 of these liabilities is secured by all receivables of the company. Receivables with a book value of $150,000 have been collected, and an additional $40,000 of allowance for uncollectible accounts has been established on the balance of the accounts.
The $90,000 of other liabilities was paid. Of the remaining other liabilities, $95,000 is unsecured without priority, and the balance is unsecured with priority. Since year-end, $20,000 of the unsecured liabilities with priority has been paid out of available assets. Since year-end 2016, additional assets with a net realizable value of $15,000 have been discovered, and administrative/legal expenses of $20,000 in connection with the liquidation have been incurred of which half have been paid.
