Solution:
The modification is analyzed as follows:
Old terms New terms
Principal 1,000,000 950,000
Accrued interest 40,000 30,000
Remaining term ('n') 1 year

The present value of the modified liability is computed as follows:

Future cash flows PV of 1 @10%, n=1 Present value
Principal 950,000 0.90909 863,636
Interest 30,000 0.90909 27,273
Present value of the modified liability 890,908

The difference between the old liability and the new liability is tested for substantiality.
Carrying amount of old liability 1,040,000
(1M principal + 40,000 accrued interest)
Present value of modified liability 890,908
Difference 149,092

Difference 149,092
Divide by: Carrying amount of old liability 1,040,000
14.34%
