Cash & Cash EquivalentsCash & Cash EquivalentsCash & Cash Equivalents• Cash: Currency and coins held, available funds on

deposit at the bank, money orders received, certified checks, cashier’s checks, personal checks, bank drafts and savings accounts.

• Cash Equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are both:1. Readily convertible into known amounts of cash2. So near maturity that there is no risk of change in valuation

from fluctuating interest rates (original maturities of no longer than 3 months)

Examples: T-bills, commercial paper, money market funds

Page 3: 1.General Course Questions 2.Chapter 7 Cash and Receivables: A. Cash & Bank Reconciliations questions 2, 3, Ex 2 & 24 B. Trade Discounts and Sales Discounts.

• Cash – reported as the most liquid current asset on the balance sheet

• Cash Equivalents– Grouped together with cash

• Restricted Cash – Disclosed separately from regular cash– Examples – restricted for 1) plant expansion, retirement of long-

term debt and 3) compensating balances.– Classify as current or long-term depending on expected use

• Bank Overdrafts– US GAAP: Disclosed as a current liability unless there are other

positive-balance cash accounts at the same bank that it can be netted against

– IFRS: Included in cash and cash equivalents if repayable on demand and form a part of an entity’s cash management

Why are internal controls over cash so important?

Three Key Controls1) Management oversight and authorization

• Especially useful in small organizations where the owner can monitor activities (and where there are limited resources to have separation of duties)

2) Separation of duties: • Physical control, authorization and record keeping• E.g., one employee prepare the deposit slip and make the

entry, and another employee will actually make the deposit

3) Physical Protection of cash• Minimize the cash on hand; only petty cash fund and

current day’s receipts• Keep funds in a vault, safe, or locked cash drawer• Transmit each day’s receipts to the bank as soon as

practicable• Periodically prove (reconcile) the balance shown in the

general ledger to the bank statement.

• Should equal the current balance per books after adjusting entries on the books are made for

1. bank charges or credits noted on bank statement

2. corrections of any book errors found during reconciliation.

Why is this an effective control?

• Trade Discounts – reduction in list price for differential volume. Sales & A/R are reduced by the discount (reflecting the amount the customer is billed) and no other accounts are affected.

• Cash discounts – reduction in amount owed if paid within a specified period (reward for prompt payment)

Possible accounting methods :– Gross method records discounts when taken by customers as

“Sales Discounts” in contra Sales account (most commonly used).

– Net method records discounts not taken by customers as “Sales Discounts Forfeited” which is an “other revenue” item on the Income Statement.

Cash Discounts - Net & Gross Methods

Sale of $1,000 of inventory, 2/10, n/30 on 1/1/09, for two scenarios: a) Payment is made on 1/10/09 b) Payment is made on 1/15/09:

Net Method:

Gross method:

January 1, 2009: Dr. A/R (1,000 x .98) 980 Cr. Sales Revenue 980

January 1, 2009: Dr. A/R 1,000 Cr. Sales Revenue 1,000

If paid within discount period 1/10/09

Dr. Cash 980 Cr. A/R 980

If paid inside discount period on 1/10/09

Dr. Cash 980 Dr. Sales Discounts 20 Cr. A/R 1,000

If paid outside discount period on 1/15/09:

Dr. Cash 1,000 Cr. A/R 980 Cr. Sales Discounts Forfeited 20

If paid outside discount period on 1/15/09:

• Short term receivables are reported at their net realizable value (NRV)

• What is NRV?– less estimated non-collectible accounts – less allowance for returns.

Classification of Accounts Receivable US GAAP:– Must separately disclose material related party

receivables (i.e., trade receivables separate from non-trade)

Allowance MethodAllowance MethodLosses are Estimated using an contra account (Allowance for Bad Debts):

Percentage-of-sales Meets GAAP Matching

requirement - Bad Debt expense estimated in same period as Sale.Percentage-of-receivables

Meets GAAP - Receivables are carried at net realizable value

Methods of Accounting for Uncollectible Accounts

Direct Write-OffDirect Write-OffTheoretically undesirable:

A/R are written off when determined uncollectibleNo matching (Expense and Revenue not likely recorded in the same period)Receivables not stated at net realizable value (no Balance Sheet account for “allowance for bad debts”)Not GAAP, unless bad debt expense in immaterial

Income Statement Approach (ignore Balance Sheet Accounts – A/R & Allowance Account) Use “Sales” to estimate the “Bad debt expense” for the period.

Income Statement Approach (ignore Balance Sheet Accounts – A/R & Allowance Account) Use “Sales” to estimate the “Bad debt expense” for the period.

Balance Sheet Approach (ignore Income Statement accounts – Sales and Bad Debt Expense) Use A/R to determine what the ending Balance in the Allowance Account should be (adjust it).

Balance Sheet Approach (ignore Income Statement accounts – Sales and Bad Debt Expense) Use A/R to determine what the ending Balance in the Allowance Account should be (adjust it).

• Balance-sheet oriented• Uses one B/S account (AR) to estimate another B/S

account (Allowance)• Estimates the ENDING balance in the allowance

account• Bad debt expense is the “plug”

Percent of Sales Allowance method• Income-statement oriented• Uses one I/S account (revenue) to estimate another I/S

account (bad debt expense)• Estimates the TOTAL bad debt expense• The allowance is the “running total”

• The holder of accounts or notes receivable may use them (transfer them) to raise cash.

• The transfer may be either:1. A secured borrowing (A/R is used as s collateral for a

loan; transferor is borrowing from the transferee)– No transfer of ownership, A/R stays on transferor’s

books 2. A sale of receivables

– Transferor sells A/R and transfers ownership of receivables in a sale

• Factor records the (transferred) accounts as assets in its books.

• Transferor:– Transfers ownership of receivables to factor.– Records any amount retained by transferee as “due from factor.”

• This is an amount held back to protect the transferee in case of non-payment by customer

– Records loss on sale of receivables.– Records any component liability IF with recourse

• i.e., any estimated future liability that the transferor will need to pay if customers do not pay (and if the amount held back by the factor is insufficient)

• Why does a company issue a notes receivable?• NR provides a stream of cash to the issuer

– Principle– Interest

• Present value cash inflow = fair value transaction• Interest rates: Stated vs. market

– Stated rate = effective (market rate) note issued at face value– Stated rate < market rate note issued at a discount.– Stated rate > market rate note issued at a premium.– The discount or premium is amortized to interest revenue by the

effective interest method.• Record interest revenue each period using the effective

interest method

On 1/1/06 Mickey Co. purchases a machine from Mouse. Co. with a list price of $10,000. Mickey signs a non-interest bearing note promising to pay Mouse Co. $10,000 on December 31, 2007. The fair value of the machine on 1/1/06 is $7,972.

Implicitly, how much interest revenue will Mouse receive over the 2 year period of the note?

What is the implicit interest rate on this note receivable?– It is the rate that equates $7972 at t=0 to $10,000 at t=2– 7,972F = 10,000; or F=10,000/7,972 = 1.2544– In table 6.1, Future Value of 1 (p. 303), the rate is 12% (F=1.2544, n =
