The term receivables includes all money
claims against other entities, including
people, business firms, and other
organizations.
Classification of Receivables
7
Accounts receivable are
normally expected to be collected
within a relatively short period, such as 30 or 60 days.
Accounts Receivable
8
Notes receivable are amounts that
customers owe for which a formal,
written instrument of credit has been
issued.
Notes Receivable
9
Other receivables expected to be collected
within one year are classified as current assets.
If collection is expected beyond one year, these
receivables are classified as noncurrent assets and
reported under the caption Investments.
Other Receivables
11
Companies often sell their receivables to other
companies. This transaction is called factoring the
receivables, and the buyer of the receivables is called a
factor.
12
There are two methods of accounting for receivables
that appear to be uncollectible: the direct write off method and the
allowance method.
Uncollectible Receivables
13
The direct write off method records bad debt expense only when an account is judged to be worthless.
The allowance method records bad debt expense by estimating uncollectible accounts at the end of the accounting period.
14
Describe the direct write-off
method of accounting for uncollectible receivables.

On December 31, ExTone Company estimates that a total of $40,000 of the $1,000,000 balance in her company’s Accounts Receivable will eventually be uncollectible.

Allowance Method
21
The net amount that is expected to be collected, $960,000
($1,000,000 – $40,000), is called the net realizable value (NRV).
The adjusting entry reduces receivables to the NRV and
matches uncollectible expenses with revenues.
Net Realizable Value

To write off the uncollectible account.
On January 21, John Parker’s account totaling $6,000 is written off because it is uncollectible.
24
During 2008, ExTone Company writes off $36,750 of
uncollectible accounts, including the $6,000 account of John Parker. After posting all
entries to write-off uncollectible amounts, the Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts will have a credit balance of $3,250
($40,000 – $36,750).

1. Estimate based on a percentage of sales. (Income statement method)
2. Estimate based on analysis of receivables. (Balance Sheet Method)
The allowance method uses two ways to estimate the amount debited to Bad Debt Expense.
Estimating Uncollectibles
34
Estimate Based on a Percentage of Sales
If credit sales for the period are $3,000,000 and it is estimated
that 1½ % will be uncollectible, the Bad Debt Expense is
debited for $45,000 ($3,000,000 x .015). This approach
disregards the balance in the allowance account before the
adjustment.
35
After this adjusting entry is posted, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will have a balance of $48,250.

At the end of the current year, Accounts Receivable has a balance of $800,000; Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $7,500; and net sales for the year total $3,500,000. Bad debt expense is estimated at ½ of 1% of net sales.
Determine (a) the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts; (b) the adjusted balances of Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, and Bad Debt Expense; and (c) the net realizable value of accounts receivable.

The longer an account receivable is outstanding, the less likely that it
will be collected. Basing the estimate of uncollectible accounts on how long specific amounts have been outstanding is called aging
the receivables.
Estimating Uncollectibles Based on Analysis of Receivables
43
Estimate Based on Analysis of Receivables
If it is estimated that $3,390 of the receivables will be
uncollectible and the Allowance for Uncollectible
Accounts currently has a balance of $510, the Bad Debt Expense must be
debited for $2,880 ($3,390 – $510).

At the end of the current year, Accounts Receivable has a balance of $800,000; Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $7,500; and net sales for the year total $3,500,000. Using the aging method, the balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is estimated as $30,000.
Determine (a) the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts; (b) the adjusted balances of Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, and Bad Debt Expense, and (c) the net realizable value of accounts receivable.
