C7-4 Receivables Issues

AICPA Adapted Magrath Company has an operating cycle of less than one year and provides credit terms for all of its customers. On April 3, 2010, the company factored, without recourse, some of its accounts receivable.

• On August 1, 2010, Magrath sold special order merchandise and received an interest-bearing note due April 30, 2011.

• Magrath uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts. During 2010, some accounts were written off as uncollectible, and other accounts previously written off as uncollectible were collected.

•

• Required:

1. Explain how Magrath should account for and report the accounts receivable factored on April 3, 2010. Why is this accounting treatment appropriate?

Percentage of Outstanding Accounts Receivable


If a company has determined that historically there has been a 4% relationship between actual bad debts and the year-end accounts receivable balance ($475,000), what would be the

required year-end adjusting entry?



Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

4,500 (current balance)

Aging of Accounts Receivable

1. Review the unpaid invoices in each customer’s account.

2. Classify the invoice amounts according to the length of time the invoice has been outstanding.

3. Multiply the total amount in each age group by the applicable estimated uncollectible percentage.

4. Make a journal entry to bring the balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to the amount calculated in Step 3.

Questions

Thank you for attending this seminar.

Cash is the lifeblood for companies, and infusions are coming more frequently from nontraditional sources. According to a recent Federal Reserve Payments Study, noncash payments grew by 4.6% over the previous three years and had a total value of $75.8 trillion.

Of these noncash payments, more than two-thirds were made electronically, with debit cards being the most frequently used electronic payment type.

32

Debit and credit cards are used most frequently. The automated clearing house (ACH) is an

electronic network that provides for the interbank clearing of electronic payments.

ACH payments currently represent 91% of the value of all electronic payments.

ACH payments include:

Number and Value of Noncash Payments

35

Accounts receivable conversion (ARC)– Paper checks received at the bank lockbox are

converted into automated clearing house debits and then the check is destroyed.

– ARC payments are about one-third cheaper than paper checks.

– Float time is cut in half. Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (Check

21)– Gives legal status to substitute checks– Allows merchants to scan and transmit checks

to the bank

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into

known amounts of cash and so near their maturity that there is little risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.

Cash Management

• The person opening the mail or the salesperson using the cash register should count the receipts immediately.

• All cash receipts are recorded daily in the accounting records.

• All receipts are deposited daily in the company’s bank account.

Control Over ReceiptsControl Over Receipts

40

Make all payments by check or electronic payment (except petty cash items) so that a record exists for every company expenditure.

Authorize and sign all checks only after an expenditure is verified and approved.

Periodically reconcile the cash balance in the bank statement with the company’s accounting records.
