Mountain High Ice Cream Company reports under IFRS. Mountain High transferred $70,000 of accounts receivable to the Prudential Bank. The transfer was made with recourse. Prudential remits 80% of the factored amount to Mountain High and retains 20% to cover sales returns and allowances. When the bank collects the receivables, it will remit to Mountain High the retained amount (which Mountain estimates has a fair value of $6,000).
