If the undiscounted total future cash payments are equal to or greater than the carrying value of the liability, the debtor does not recognize a gain, the carrying value of the liability is not reduced, and interest expense is recognized in future periods using an imputed interest rate. The imputed or effective interest rate is that rate which discounts the principal and interest payment required under the new agreement to the original carrying value of the note.
