Debit Credit Beg Bal Write Off Convert note Credit Sales Cash Coll =End Bal
AR: Base Formula
Beg Bal \+Credit Sales =Subtotal - Cash collected - AR converted to Note receivable (rare) - AR written off = Ending Balance
Valuation with AR J/E
- Sale
- Payment received w/n the discount period
- Payment is not received in discount period
Sale DR: AR CR: Sales If payment is received w/n the discount period DR: Cash DR: Sales Disc Taken CR: AR If payment is not received w/n discount period DR: Cash CR: AR CR: Sales Disc not taken
J/E for Sales Returns
DR: Sales Returns & Allowances (contra sales)
CR: AR
J/E for Direct Write off
NOT GAAP
DR: Bad Debt Exp (up) (=NI down)
CR: AR (down) (=Asset down)

CR: Allowance for uncollectibles
J/E when receivable is uncollectible
DR: Allowance for doubtful accts (goes down)
CR: AR (goes down)
Subsequent Collection of AR Written off

CR: BDE (down) profit up
Pledging?
Company uses existing AR as collateral for a loan
Factoring?
Can convert it receivables into cash by assigning them to a “factor”
Factoring w/o recourse?
J/E for factoring AR w/o recourse
True sale- sale is final and that the assignee (the factor) assumes the risk of any losses on collections
DR: Cash
DR: Due from factor (factors margin)
DR: Loss on sale of receivable

Discounting a note at a bank
Face Value + int rate on note (face x time x int rate) = Payoff at maturity
Payoff at maturity - Discount by bank (discount x time x payoff at mat) = cash received from bank
Inventory - who accounts for
FOB Shipping
FOB Destination
Shipping = buyer Destinations = seller
Who accounts for consigned goods?
Consignor
GAAP : Valuation of Inventory
At Cost
Exceptions
~Lower of Market or Cost: when utility of goods is no longer as great as their cost
~Precious metals & farm products=NRV=Selling Price - Cost of disposal
How to calculate lower of cost or market for inventory?
- Recognize loss in current period
~GAAP=Market means current replacement cost if not higher than NRV (market ceiling) or lower than NRV - profit margin (market floor) - GAAP= Reversals of inventory write-downs are prohibited
- Market Ceiling = NRV
Market Floor = NRV - Profit Margin
Replacement Cost = Cost to purchase on valuation date
