IceKreme Inc. makes ice cream machines for sale to ice cream parlours. The following events occurred between April 1 and June 30 of the current year: April 10 Received an order from Peter’s Appliances, a wholesaler, for 10 machines. April 30 Sold 15 machines to Yuri Inc. on credit. May 1 The purchasing manager of Peter’s Appliances visited IceKreme’s factory and purchased 12 machines instead of the 10 machines that were previously ordered. May 5 Yuri Inc. paid for the machines purchased on April 30. May 7 Sold 2 machines to Cheng Ltd. on credit. May 10 Wrote off $12,000 of accounts receivable that were considered uncollectible. These receivables relate to sales made prior to April 1 of the current year. May 10 Peter’s Appliances paid the amount due to IceKreme. June 30 Recovered $3,000 from the receivables that were written off on May 10. Additional information is as follows: IceKreme sold all machines at $10,000 per unit. All of IceKreme’s sales were on credit with terms n/30. IceKreme’s records included the following items and their balances as at March 31 of the current year: Accounts receivable $60,000 Allowance of doubtful accounts (credit balance) 15,000 Sales revenue 600,000 Required: Prepare the journal entries to record the transactions that occurred from April 1 to June 30 of the current year.

The company uses the aging of accounts receivable method to determine the amount of bad debt expense. The estimated uncollectible rates for the various age groups are as follows: Table Summary: A table of estimated uncollectible rates for the various age groups. The headers of the columns read, not yet due, 1-30 days past due, 31-60 days past due, and over 60 days past due. Analysis of Aged Accounts Receivable Not Yet Due 1–30 Days Past Due 31–60 Days Past Due Over 60 Days Past Due Estimated % uncollectible 5% 10% 15% 20%

Determine the amount of receivables that may not be collectible in the future, and prepare the journal entry to record bad debt expense at June 30 of the current year, the company’s fiscal year-end. (Hint: Use a timeline to keep track of accounts receivable in order to determine the age of these receivables.)

IceKreme’s net accounts receivable were $80,000 at June 30 of the prior year.Calculate IceKreme’s average collection period for the current fiscal year and explain its meaning.

Evaluate IceKreme’s average collection period, knowing that two major competitors, Julia Corp. and Pino Ltd., reported average collection periods of 18.3 days and 30.7 days, respectively, for the same fiscal year.
