On June 30, 2021, Blondie Fixtures was considering alternatives to bolster its cash position. Option One called for transferring $340,000 in accounts receivable to Dogwood Finance Company without recourse for a 6% fee. Option Two calls for Blondie to transfer the $340,000 in receivables to Dogwood with recourse. Dogwood's charges a 5% fee for receivables factored with recourse. Option Two meets the conditions to be considered a sale, but Blondie estimates a $2,400 recourse liability. Under either option, Dogwood will immediately remit 90% of the factored receivables to Blondie, and retain 10%. When Dogwood collects the remaining receivables, it remits the amount, less the fee, to Blondie. Blondie estimates that the fair value of the final 10% of the receivables is $22,000 (ignoring the factoring fee). Required:1.

Airport Accessories (AA) has several loans outstanding with a local bank. The loan contract contains an agreement that AA must maintain a current ratio of at least 0.90. Micah, the assistant controller, estimates that the year-end current assets and current liabilities will be $2,100,000 and $2,400,000, respectively. These estimates provide a current ratio of only 0.875. Violation of the debt agreement will increase AA’s borrowing costs because the loans will be renegotiated at higher interest rates.Micah proposes that AA purchase inventory of $600,000 on credit before year-end. This will cause both current assets and current liabilities to increase by the same amount, but the current ratio will increase to 0.90. The extra $600,000 in inventory will be used over the next year. However, the purchase will cause warehousing costs and financing costs to increase. Micah is concerned about the ethics of his proposal. What do you think?
