24. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Trade Receivables Arise from the sale of services or products on credit

25. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Trade Receivables On June 4, 19X8 ABC Company sold $3,000 of merchandise on credit to a customer. Prepare the journal entry.

26. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Trade Receivables Even though cash was not received, the revenue is still considered earned at this point because the earnings process is assumed to be complete.

27. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Trade Receivables On July 7, 19X8 ABC Company receives the $3,000 from the customer. Prepare the journal entry.

28. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Trade Receivables This entry does not affect the company’s profitability nor the company’s total assets.

29. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Management Issues Selling merchandise on credit helps to increase my sales, but it also delays the receipt of cash! Wow! Buying merchandise on credit let’s me hold on to my cash longer!!

30. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Management Issues Maybe I can offer a discount to credit customers to entice them to pay sooner...

31. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Management Issues 2/10,net/30 Percentage of Discount Net Amount Is Due in This # of Days Otherwise, Net (or All) Is Due # of Days Discount Is Available

32. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Management Issues Assume that a customer owes ABC Company $3,000. The payment terms are 2/10, net/30, and the customer pays within the discount period. Prepare the journal entry.

33. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Management Issues The sales discount amount is used in presenting net sales figures on the income statement.

34. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Management Issues I wonder if this will be one of my credit customers who ends up not paying the balance owed to me?

35. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Net Realizable Value Net realizable value is the amount expected to be collected.

36. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Uncollectible Accounts Matching Principle An estimate of the expense relating to selling goods on credit should be recorded in the period when the revenue is earned. We must use an estimate because we do not know which specific customers will default.

37. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Uncollectible Accounts The adjusting entry to record the estimate of uncollectible accounts is as follows:

38. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Uncollectible Accounts Estimation Methods Percentage of Credit Sales Percentage of Accounts Receivable

39. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Percentage of Credit Sales Based on past history, I can determine the percentage of credit sales that I never collected. Then, the amount of my adjusting entry could be determined as: Current Year Credit Sales × Bad Debt% Estimated Bad Debt Expense

40. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Percentage of Credit Sales As of 12/31/X3 Tools-R-Us had total sales of $550,000, of which $75,000 were cash sales. Historically, Tools-R-Us has had a bad debt percentage of 1% based on credit sales. Prepare the 12/31/X3 entry for Tools-R-Us. $550,000 Total Sales - 75,000 Cash Sales 475,000 Credit Sales ×.01 $ 4,750

41. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Percentage of Credit Sales As of 12/31/X3 Tools-R-Us had total sales of $550,000, of which $75,000 were cash sales. Historically, Tools-R-Us has had a bad debt percentage of 1% based on credit sales. Prepare the 12/31/X3 entry for Tools-R-Us. Contra asset account

42. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Percentage of Credit Sales If Tools-R-Us had accounts receivable of $100,000 at 12/31/X3, what amount should be reported on the 12/31/X3 balance sheet?

43. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Percentage of Accounts Receivable Based on past history, I can determine the bad debt percentage for each accounts receivable age group.

44. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Percentage of Accounts Receivable Then, I can compute the estimated uncollectible amount for each category by: Aged Category Balance × Bad Debt% Estimated Uncollectible Amt.

45. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Percentage of Accounts Receivable

46. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Percentage of Accounts Receivable By adding the estimated uncollectible total for each aged category, I can determine the desired balance for the allowance for uncollectible accounts.

47. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Percentage of Accounts Receivable

48. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Percentage of Accounts Receivable The adjusting entry is made for the difference between (1) The total estimated uncollectible amount and (2) The balance before adjustment in the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

49. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Percentage of Accounts Receivable Assume that the balance in the allowance for uncollectible accounts is $350 (credit) before any adjustment is made. Determine the amount of the journal entry to record uncollectible accounts.

50. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Percentage of Accounts Receivable

51. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Write-off of Accounts Receivable Occasionally it will become apparent that a specific account receivable will not be collected.

52. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Write-off of Accounts Receivable At this point, the specific account receivable should be written off:

53. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Write-off of Accounts Receivable No effect on the income statement No effect on total assets No effect on net realizable value

54. Robert N. West © VEMBA Accounting Recovery of Accounts Receivable Written Off If an account that has been written off subsequently becomes collectible, simply reverse the write-off entry.
