Accounts and Notes ReceivableAccounts and Notes Receivable
A/R are the expected future cash receipts of a company. They are typically small and are expected to be received within 30 days.
N/R are used when longer credit terms are necessary. The promissory note specifies the maturity date, the rate of interest, and other credit terms.

7- 5
Value of ReceivablesValue of Receivables
Receivables are reported at their face value less an allowance for accounts which are likely to be uncollectible.
The amount which is actually expected to be collected is called the net realizable value (NRV).

7- 6
Allowance Method vs. Direct Write-Off MethodAllowance Method vs. Direct Write-Off Method
GAAP requires that A/R be reported at NRV. (A/R minus Allowance)
This is done using a valuation allowance: An ALLOWANCE METHOD. % of Sales (or “Income Statement”) approach. Aging (or “Balance Sheet”) approach.
With the ALLOWANCE METHOD, an estimate of the amount that will NOT be collected is recorded in the same period that the sales revenue is recorded. Thus, the MATCHING PRINCIPLE is being followed.

7- 7
Allowance Method vs. Direct Write-Off Method (continued)Allowance Method vs. Direct Write-Off Method (continued)
The DIRECT WRITE-OFF method violates GAAP because it does NOT follow the MATCHING principle.
With the Direct Write-off method, no estimate of bad debts is recorded at the time of the sale. Rather, only after a specific account is deemed “uncollectible” is a Bad Debt Expense recorded.
Since GAAP is only required if the amounts are MATERIAL (significant), if the amount of uncollectible A/R is immaterial the Direct Write-off method may be used.

Warranties…When to “expense”? General PrincipleWarranties…When to “expense”? General Principle
According to GAAP, the entire estimated warranty expense must be recorded in the period the sale is made, NOT in the period when the actual warranty cost is paid. (Matching principle is being followed.) A warranty liability is recorded along with the
expense. This liability is REDUCED whenever cash is paid to service a product still under warranty.

With note #2 Cell-It only received $7,360 from the lender, but still had to pay $640 interest for the year. That’s why the effective interest rate is higher for Note #2.
