Q

Extending credit

A
  • When credit is given, a receivable is set up on the books of the seller (oral promise called “Account receivable” or “Trade receivables”)
  • A receivable represents claims against individuals, business organizations, or other debtors that will eventually be settled by the receipt of cash, checks, bank transfers or any other asset accepted by the creditor
  • When the creditworthiness of reliability of a customer is in doubt, the seller may decide to sell to the customer on credit (on account) with certain additional requirements: a promissory note as evidence of the buyer´s obligation to the seller

  2. The amount of time the note is in the hands of the creditor before payment is made, known as the time
  3. The rate of interest being charged on the note, which commonly referred to as the rate

20
Q

Discounting the note

A

It is a process of selling the promissory note to a bank or finance company

  1. The note is endorsed and delivered to the bank
  2. The bank deducts from the maturity value of the note (face value of the note plus interest) their discounting charges and provides the seller with the net proceeds’ maturity (665)
  3. When the note becomes due, the lending institution expects to receive the maturity value from its maker
  4. The fact that the note has been discounted and turned over to the lending institution does not eliminate the seller´s involvement with the note: if the maker fails to pay the bank, the seller will do it
  5. A contingent liability has developed until the due date of the note: the commitment of the endorser to pay the discounter the maturity value of the note if the maker of the note defaults (5208)
21
Q

Discounting the note- the entries

A
  1. The receipt of the promissory note
  2. The discounting of the note
  3. The entry made on the due date of the note
22
Q

Discounting a company´s own note

A
  • When a company wishes to borrow money from a bank, it may issue a promissory note payable to that bank
  • The bank in accepting the note will frequently discount the note
  • Discounting a notes payable will result in the company receiving less cash than the face value of the note, because of the interest charged by the bank for the privilege of borrowing the money
