The equipment is recorded on Sharon's books as $12,000, and it is currently worth $14,200. What types and amount of gains or losses, if any, should be recorded by Sharon on this troubled debt restructuring?

Is it Gain on Debt Restructure, $3,8000; Gain on Disposal of Equipment, $2,200.

Gain on Debt Restructure, $6000.

$6,000 Gain on Debt Restructure, $800; Gain on Disposal of Equipment, $2,200.

No gain or loss should be recognized.
