19 Sales Returns and Allowances
Sales Allowance Merchandise returned by a customer to a supplier. A reduction in the cost of defective merchandise.

20 Sales Returns and Allowances
On June 1, a customer of LarCo returns $750 of merchandise that was damaged. LarCo uses the periodic method to account for inventory. Record the journal entry for the return of merchandise. 45 45 45

21 Sales Returns and Allowances
Sales Returns and Allowances is a contra account that reduces Sales Revenue in the current accounting period. 46 46 46

22 Uncollectible Accounts Receivable
Bad debts result from credit customers who will not pay the amount they owe, regardless of continuing collection efforts. PAST DUE 42 42

23 Uncollectible Accounts Receivable
In conformity with the matching principle, bad debt expense should be recorded in the same accounting period in which the sales related to the uncollectible account were recorded. 43 43

24 Uncollectible Accounts Receivable
Most businesses record an estimate of the bad debt expense by an adjusting entry at the end of the accounting period. 44 44

25 Uncollectible Accounts Receivable
Normally classified as a selling expense and closed at year-end. Contra asset account to Accounts Receivable. 44 44

26 Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
Accounts Receivable Less: Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Net Realizable Value Net realizable value is the amount of the accounts receivable that the business expects to collect. 49 49

27 Estimating Bad Debts Income Statement Approach Balance Sheet Approach
Composite Rate Aging of Receivables PAST DUE 50 50 50

28 Income Statement Approach
Focuses on past credit sales to make estimate of bad debt expense. Emphasizes the matching principle by estimating the bad debt expense associated with the current period’s credit sales. 51 51 51

29 Income Statement Approach
Bad debts expense is computed as follows:

30 Income Statement Approach
In 2003, MusicLand has credit sales of $400,000 and estimates that 0.6% of credit sales are uncollectible. What is Bad Debts Expense for 2003?

31 Income Statement Approach
MusicLand computes estimated Bad Debts Expense of $2,400.

32 Balance Sheet Approach
Focuses on the collectibility of accounts receivable to make the estimate of uncollectible accounts. Involves the direct computation of the desired balance in the allowance for uncollectible accounts. 55 55 55

33 Balance Sheet Approach Composite Rate
Compute the estimate of the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts. Bad Debts Expense is computed as:

34 Balance Sheet Approach Composite Rate
On Dec. 31, 2003, MusicLand has $50,000 in Accounts Receivable and a $200 credit balance in Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts. Past experience suggests that 5% of receivables are uncollectible. What is MusicLand’s Bad Debts Expense for 2003?

35 Balance Sheet Approach Composite Rate
Desired balance in Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

36 Now, let’s look at the accounts receivable aging approach!

37 Balance Sheet Approach Aging of Receivables
Year-end Accounts Receivable is broken down into age classifications. Each age grouping has a different likelihood of being uncollectible. Compute estimated uncollectible amount. Compare estimated uncollectible amount with the balance in the allowance account.

38 Balance Sheet Approach Aging of Receivables
At December 31, 2003, the receivables for EastCo, Inc. were categorized as follows:

39 Balance Sheet Approach Aging of Receivables
EastCo’s unadjusted balance in the allowance account is $500. Per the previous computation, the desired balance is $1,350. Prepare the entry to record bad debts expense at Dec. 31, 2003.

40 Balance Sheet Approach Aging of Receivables
EastCo’s unadjusted balance in the allowance account is $500. Per the previous computation, the desired balance is $1,350.

41 Methods to Estimate Bad Debts
Income Statement Approach Balance Sheet Approach Emphasis on Matching Emphasis on Realizable Value Sales Bad Debts Exp. Accts. Rec. All. for Uncoll. Accts. Income Statement Focus Balance Sheet Focus

42 Uncollectible Accounts
As accounts become uncollectible, the following entry is made: So what happens if someone pays after a write-off of the accounts receivable? 65 65 65

43 Collection of Previously Written-Off Accounts
When a customer makes a payment after an account has been written off, two journal entries are required. 66 66 66

44 Direct Write-off Method
If uncollectible accounts are immaterial, bad debts are simply recorded as they occur (without the use of an allowance account).

45 Let’s move to a new challenge.

54 Financing With Receivables
Secured borrowing or Sale of receivables Method depends on the surrender of control over the receivables transferred. 76 76 76

55 Secured Borrowing – Assigning
The use of specific receivables for collateral, and the promise that any failure to repay debt will result in proceeds from specific accounts receivable collections being used to repay the debt. Reclassify Accounts Receivable as Accounts Receivable Assigned. 77 77 77

56 Secured Borrowing – Pledging

57 Sale of Accounts Receivable
SUPPLIER (Transferor) 3. Accounts Receivable 5. Cash RETAILER 4. Cash 1. Merchandise FACTOR (Transferee) A factor is a financial institution that buys receivables for cash, handles the billing and collection of the receivables and charges a fee for the service. 80 80 80

58 Sale of Accounts Receivable
Treat as a sale if all of these conditions are met: Receivables are isolated from transferor. Transferee has right to pledge or exchange receivables. Transferor does not have control over the receivables. Transferor cannot repurchase receivable before maturity. Transferor cannot require return of specific receivables.

59 Sale of Accounts Receivable
Without recourse An ordinary sale of receivables to the factor. Factor assumes all risk of uncollectibility. Control of receivable passes to the factor. Receivables are removed from the books, cash is received and a financing expense or loss is recognized. 81 81 81

60 Sale of Accounts Receivable
With recourse Transferor (seller) retains risk of uncollectibility, Must meet the three conditions of determining surrender of control to be recognized as a sale. If the transaction fails to meet the three conditions necessary to be classified as a sale, it will be treated as a secured borrowing. 82 82 82

61 Discounting a Note On May 31, Apex discounts a customer’s $25,000 note receivable at the bank. The note was dated May 1 and matures in 90 days. The receivable bears interest at 12% and the bank charges a discount of 15% on the maturity value of the note. Prepare the journal entry to record the discounting of the note receivable as a secured borrowing. 84 84 84

62 Discounting a Note 85 85 85

63 Discounting a Note If the three conditions for sale treatment are met, the transaction would be accounted for as a sale, recognizing a gain or loss for the difference between the cash proceeds and the book value of the note. 85 85 85
