BeginningAR $80,000
$1,000 Accounts written off
Credit sales X
35,000 Cash collected
Ending AR $74,000
$80,000 + X - $1,000 - $35,000 = $74,000 X = $30,000 = credit sales
Credit sales $30,000 Cash sales 30,000 Gross sales $60,000
E8-3. 1. The current ratio [$30,000/$10,000 = 3:1] does not change as a result of
the write-off to the allowance account. Accounts receivable and its contra account, allowance for doubtful accounts are reduced by the same amount [$100]. Thus, accounts receivable (net), which is the number used in computing the current ratio, does not change. b. X equals Y 2. Net accounts receivable[prior: $3,300 $300 = $3,000] does not change as a result of the write-off to the allowance account [after: $3,200 $200 = $3,000]. When the $100 account is written off, accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts are reduced by the same amount. Thus net receivables are the same before and after the write-off. b. X equals Y 3. Gross accounts receivable will be lower after the write-off than before the write-off because accounts receivable is credited for the $100 uncollectible account that is written-off [$3,300 $100 = $3,200]. a. X greater than Y

Calculation of the present value of Fletchers note at a 10% effective rate of interest:

Year 1 $10,000 x .90909 = 9,091 Year 2 $10,000 x .82645 = 8,265 Year 3 $10,000 x .75132 = 7,513 Year 4 $10,000 x .68301 = 6,830 Year 5 $10,000 x .62092 = 6,209

Total present (carrying) value of note @ 12/31/2014 $157,478
Requirement 5: DR Unrealized loss on note receivable $10,823 CR Fair value adjustment - note receivable $10,823 [$162,092 initial balance + $6,209 amortization] $157,478 fair value= $10,823

Credit sales for 2014 3,100,000 $ 45,000 Accounts written off during 2014

Ending balance X
So, $750,000 + $3,100,000 - $45,000 - $2,400,000 = X X = $1,405,000
Given the factors recent offer, fair value can be established at 94% of the ending account balance or $1,320,700 = [$1,405,000 x 94%].

Because this offer was to purchase the receivables without recourse, the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts can be ignored (i.e., the factors offer represents the net value of the receivables).
