At the beginning of the year, Anche had accounts receivable of $500,000 and a credit balance of $30,000
in its allowance for uncollectible accounts. During the year, it wrote off specific accounts receivable in the
amount of $80,000. Assume no recoveries of write-offs during the year.
Required »
a. Compute bad debt expense for the year ending December 31 and the net realizable value of Anche's
accounts receivable as of December 31.
b. Prepare the journal entry to record the bad debt expense for the year.
c. Independent of the information used in parts (a) and (b), assume that on January 1 of the current year with
the net realizable value of accounts receivable equal to $470,000, the company decided to factor $400,000
of accounts receivable to Gustav Factors, Ltd. Gustav retains 6% of the amount factored as a reserve or
hold back. Gustav Factors also charged Anche a 4% financing fee (4% of the total factored amount). As
a result, only 90% of the proceeds are remitted.
i. Prepare the journal entry to record the factoring of $400,000 of accounts receivable assuming that
Anche sold the receivables without recourse.
ii. Prepare the journal entry to record the factoring of $400,000 of accounts receivable assuming that
Anche sold the receivables with recourse and the recourse obligation is estimated to be $5,000.
