This lower estimate for the recourse liability reduces the amount of the loss—
this will result in higher income in the year of the sale. Arness’s liabilities will be
lower by $4,000.
The days outstanding (average collection period) for accounts receivable in days
is
As indicated from these ratios, General Mills’ accounts receivable turnover ratio
appears quite strong.

Thus, all “Balance per books” adjustments in the reconciliation require a journal entry.
**If cash is present in another account in the same bank on which the
overdraft occurred, offsetting is required.
Cash held in a bond sinking fund is restricted. Assuming that the bonds
are noncurrent, the restricted cash is also reported as noncurrent.

*This classification assumes that these receivables are collectible within the
operating cycle of the business.
(a) The direct write-off approach is not theoretically justifiable even though
required for income tax purposes. The direct write-off method does not
match expenses with revenues of the period, nor does it result in
receivables being stated at estimated realizable value on the balance sheet.
*($790 – $490)
Inasmuch as later invoices have been paid in full, all three of these amounts
should be investigated in order to determine why Hopkins Co. has not paid them.
The amounts in the beginning balance and #2412 should be of particular
concern.
(Note: It is possible that the company already recorded the Sales Discounts
Forfeited. In this case, the credit to Accounts Receivable would be for
$9,000. The same point applies to the next entry as well.)

(1) The transferred asset has been isolated from the transferor (put
beyond reach of the transferor and its creditors).
(3) The transferor does not maintain effective control over the trans-
ferred assets through an agreement to repurchase or redeem them
before their maturity.

(c) Jones Company’s turnover ratio has declined significantly. That is, it is
turning receivables 3.33 times a year and collections on receivables took
110 days. In the prior year, the turnover ratio was almost double (6.0) and
collections took only 61 days. This is a bad trend in liquidity. Jones should
consider offering early payment discounts and/or tightened credit and
collection policies.

With the factoring transaction, Jones Company’s turnover ratio still declines but
by less than in the earlier exercise. While Jones’ collections have slowed, by
factoring the receivables, Jones is able to convert them to cash. The cost of this
approach to converting receivables to cash is captured in the Loss on Sale of
Accounts Receivable account.
