    (a) $210,000

    (b) $351,500

    Explanation:

    (a) Given that,

    Fair value of equipment = $1,440,000

    Face Amount of the note = $1,230,000

    Gain on sale:

    = Fair value of equipment - Face Amount of the note

    = $1,440,000 - $1,230,000

    = $210,000

    (b) Given that,

    Accrued Interest Payable = $290,000

    Interest rate = 5%

    Gain on the partial settlement and restructure of the debt:

    = Accrued Interest Payable + (Face amount of note * Interest rate)

    = $290,000 + ($1,230,000 * 5%)

    = $290,000 + $61,500

    = $351,500
