What is Cash?

• Cash is reported as a current asset if it is readily available to pay current obligations and is free of restrictions

• Cash consists of coins, currency, available funds on deposit at the bank, and petty cash

• Also includes money orders, certified cheques, cashier’s cheques, personal cheques, bank drafts, and usually savings accounts

• Postdated cheques, travel advances, and stamps on hand are not classified as cash

6

Reporting of Cash

• Reporting cash needs special attention of the following:

1. Restricted cash

2. Cash in foreign currencies

3. Bank overdrafts

4. Cash equivalents

7

Restricted Cash

• Compensating balances: minimum cash balances maintained by a corporation in support of existing borrowings

• These funds are not available for use by the corporation, but the bank can use the restricted cash

• Petty cash, special payroll, and dividend accounts are examples of cash set aside for a special purpose (usually not material)

8

Restricted Cash

• If the restricted cash balance is material, must be segregated from Cash as follows:– Classified as current assets if they relate to

short-term loans – Classified as non-current assets if set aside

for investment or financing purposes (e.g. plant expansion)

• Note disclosure of restricted cash is required

9

Foreign Currencies

• Amount held in foreign currencies is reported in Canadian dollars at the balance sheet date

• The exchange rate on the balance sheet date is used to translate foreign currencies into Canadian dollars

• If restrictions exist on the foreign funds, those funds are reported as restricted

10

Bank Overdrafts

• Overdrafts represent cheques written in excess of the cash account balance

• Overdrafts are reported as current liabilities (often reported as accounts payable)

• In general, bank overdrafts should not be offset against the Cash account

• However, bank overdrafts may be offset against available cash in another account if both accounts are at the same bank

11

Cash Equivalents

• Defined as “short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash…subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.”

• Original maturity is generally three months or less• Excludes equity securities• Examples: treasury bills, money-market funds,

commercial paper• Cash equivalents are reported at fair value• Under IFRS some equity instruments can be classified

as cash equivalents. For example, preferred shares acquired within a short time of their maturity and with a specified redemption date.

Receivables: Introduction

• Loans and receivables are claims against customers and other parties for money, goods, or services

• Receivables are classified as either current (short-term) or noncurrent (long-term)

• Classified as current receivables if there is the expectation to collect within one year or operating cycle (whichever is longer)

• Receivables can be classified as either trade receivables or nontrade receivables

14

Accounts Receivable: Issues• Trade receivables include:

• Accounts receivable (verbal promise to pay, normally within 30 to 60 days)

• Notes receivable (written promises with specified terms, e.g. interest rate and due date)

• Nontrade receivables include the following:

1. Advances to employees or other officers

2. Receivables from the government (e.g. GST recoverable, income tax receivable)

3. Dividends and interest receivable

4. Amounts owing by insurance companies

15

Accounts Receivable: Trade Discounts vs. Cash Discounts

• Trade discounts are discounts given to customers often for different quantities purchased (often quoted as a percentage)

• Trade discounts are generally not recorded; the price charged (net of the discount) is recorded by the seller as a receivable and revenue

• Cash discounts (or sales discounts) encourage customers to pay faster; they are recorded

• Example of cash discounts: 2/10, n/30; the customer will receive a 2% discount if payment made within 10 days and the gross amount of the invoice is due in 30 days

16

Accounts Receivable: Recording Cash Discounts

• Two methods: gross method and net method• Gross method records discounts when customers pay

within discount period– “Sales Discounts” are deducted from sales on the

income statement– Most common method

• Net method records accounts receivable net of the discount; discounts forfeited by customers are recorded when not taken– Preferred method but rarely used– “Sales Discounts Forfeited” is recorded as “Other

revenue” if customer does not take the discount

17

Example of Gross Method

• $10,000 sales on credit (terms 2/10, n/30)

DR Accounts Receivable 10,000

CR Sales Revenue 10,000

• Customer pays account within discount period

DR Cash 9,800

DR Sales Discounts 200

CR Accounts Receivable 10,000

18

Example of Net Method

• $10,000 sales on credit (terms 2/10, n/30)

DR Accounts Receivable 9,800

CR Sales Revenue 9,800

• Customer pays account after discount period

DR Cash 10,000

CR Sales Discounts Forfeited 200

CR Accounts Receivable 9,800

19

Impairment of Accounts Receivable

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

• The NRV is the net amount of cash expected to be collected, which is not necessarily the amount legally receivable

• Calculated as:

Gross accounts receivable less estimated uncollectible accounts and any returns, allowances, or cash discounts

• Loans and receivables impaired if these is “significant adverse change” in expected configuration of cash flows (i.e. timing or amount)

20

Estimating Uncollectible Receivables

The Allowance Method• Records estimated impairment to properly

value accounts receivables and record the bad debt losses as expense in the same accounting period as the sale (matching concept)

• Receivables are reported at their estimated realizable value – i.e., net of an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

21

Estimating Uncollectible Accounts

• The estimate of uncollectible accounts may be based on:

• Allowance Procedure Only: management frequently estimates uncollectible amounts and adjusts the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

• Mix of Procedures: initially may use percentage of sales (or net sales), but must still adjust at year-end to ensure that Allowance for Doubtful accounts is appropriate

• Regardless of procedure used, net accounts receivable at year-end must be reported at net realizable value (key focus is on measurement of accounts receivable at net realizable value)

22

• Uses past collection experience to estimate uncollectible accounts, without identifying specific accounts

• Focus is to report accounts receivable at its net realizable value– Does not focus on matching bad debt expense

to sales• Any existing balance in Allowance for Doubtful

Accounts is used to calculate the current year’s bad debt expense

• Can use: Percentage-of-receivables or aged receivable analysis

Allowance Procedure Only

Mix of Procedures

• Initial use of “percentage-of-sales” approach is based on the relationship between sales and bad debts

• Matches the estimated cost of bad debts to sales generated in the same accounting period

• Any existing balance in the balance sheet account (Allowance for Doubtful Accounts) is initially ignored when calculating the current period’s bad debts expense

• Receivables are also reviewed at year-end to ensure that balance is appropriate, and adjustment to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is made

26

Mix of Procedures: Example

Example:• Dockrill Corp. reports the following balances

for its first year of operations (2011):– Net credit sales: $400,000

• The company estimates bad debts at 2% of net credit sales

• Determine estimated bad debts expense for 2011

27

Mix of Procedures: Example

Estimated Bad Debts Expense: $400,000 x 2% = $8,000

2 To record Bad Debts Expense:Bad Debts Expense $8,000 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $8,000

3 At year end, management determines that $9,900 will not be collectible, and that balance of Allowance account year-end adjustments is $7,500:

Bad Debt Expense $2,400Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

$2,400($9,900 - $7,500 = $2,400)

28

Balance Sheet Presentation

• Short-term accounts receivable are shown at their net realizable value as follows:

Accounts Receivable $ xxx

Less: Allow. for Doubtful Accounts xxx

Net Realizable Value $ xxx

29

Allowance Method: Writing Off Accounts Receivable

• When a specific customer’s account is determined to be uncollectible, the following entry is made:

Dr. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts x

Cr. Accounts Receivable –specific customer x(for the amount to be written off)

• If payment is received after write-off of account,

the account is reinstated and payment is recorded:

Dr. Accounts Receivable Cr. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Dr. Cash Cr. Accounts Receivable(for the amount collected)

30

Direct Write-off Method

• If uncollectible amounts are not material, the allowance method is not required

• Instead, direct write-off method can be used• Record bad debt expense only when specific

account is determined to be uncollectible:

Dr. Bad Debt Expense x

Cr. Accounts Receivable x• No allowance account is used

31

Recognition of Short-Term Notes Receivable

• Notes receivable differ from accounts receivable as they are supported by a promissory note (with specific terms)

• All notes contain some interest• Notes are either:

– Interest bearing• Have a stated rate of interest or

– Zero-interest bearing (or non-interest bearing)• Interest rate not always stated• Interest amount is the difference between the

amount borrowed and the face amount

32

Interest Bearing Short-Term Notes Receivable

• Example: On March 14, 2011, Accounts Receivable of $1,000 is exchanged for a 6% six-month note

March 14, 2011(when note is issued):

Notes Receivable 1,000

Accounts Receivable 1,000

September 14, 2011 (on collection of note):

Cash 1,030


Interest Income 30

Interest = $1,000 x 6% x 6/12

33

Non-Interest Bearing Short-Term Notes

Receivable• On February 23, 2011, a $5,000 nine-month non-interest bearing note is issued; 8% is the implied interest rate

On issuance of note:


Cash 4,717*

*5,000 / (1 + 6%); 8% x 9/12 = 6%

On collection of note:

Cash 5,000


Interest Income 283

Interest = $4,717 x 8% x 9/12

34

Long-term Loans Receivable

• Long-term loans receivable are recognized at fair value – i.e. the present value of the future cash flows– When the stated interest rate is the same

as the market interest rate, the note or loan is issued at its face value

– When there is a difference between interest rates, the note or loan is issued at a premium or a discount (i.e. the present value is greater or less than the face value)

35

Long-term Loans Receivable – Interest Bearing Notes

• Example: Morgan Corp. issues a $10,000, 10% three-year note; market interest rate is 12% and annual interest payments are $1,000 (10% x $10,000)

• In calculating the note’s present value, use 12% market rate to discount all future cash flows as follows:

($10,000 x .71178) + ($1,000 x 2.40183) = $9,520• The note is issued at a discount (as proceeds < face)

Journal Entry at issuance of note: Dr. Notes Receivable 9,520

Cr. Cash 9,520

36


• Example continued:• At date of issue, the company has an unamortized

discount of $480 (to be amortized over the 3 years)• The discount represents interest income to be

recognized over the 3 year life of the note• $9,520 x 12% = $1,142 (first year interest income)

Journal Entry to record first $1,000 interest received: Dr. Cash 1,000 Dr. Notes Receivable 142

Cr. Interest Income 1,142

37


• Example continued:• Book value of Notes Receivable is now:

$10,000 – ($480 - $142) = $9,662• Interest Income for second year:

$9,662 × 12% = $1,159

Journal Entry to record second $1,000 interest received:

Dr. Cash 1,000Dr. Disc. on Notes Receivable 159

Cr. Interest Income 1,159

38


• Example continued:• Under straight-line method (as opposed to the

effective interest rate method), initial discount of $480 is recognized as interest income evenly over 3 years at $480 / 3 years = $160 per year

• IFRS requires the use of effective interest method of amortization

• Private entity GAAP does not specify the amortization method

39

• The holder of accounts or notes receivable may transfer them to another company for cash

• The transfer may be:– A secured borrowing– A sale of receivables

• Holder retains ownership of receivables in a secured borrowing transaction; the receivables are used as collateral

• Holder transfers ownership of receivables in a sale

• Specific standards are still in state of flux, so focus is on key concepts

Borrowing vs. Sale Treatment: pre-2011 Canadian GAAP

Conditions

1. Are transferred assets isolated from transferor? and2. Does transferee have right to pledge or sell the assets? and3. Transferor does not maintain control of the assets through repurchase agreement?

Yes Sale

SecuredBorrowing

No

41

Accounting for Transfers of Receivables

Secured Borrowing Sale

Transfers

Continuing involvement by seller

No continuinginvolvement by seller

Use components approach:

1. Reduce receivables,

2. Recognize component assets and liabilities,

3. Record gain/loss

1. Reduce receivables,

2. Record gain/loss

42

Secured Borrowing(Highlights)

• Transferor records a finance charge• Transferor collects accounts receivable• Transferor records sales returns and sales

discounts• Transferor absorbs bad debts expense• Transferor records interest expense on

notes payable• Transferor pays the note periodically from

collections

43

Sale of Receivables (e.g., Factoring)

• Ownership of receivables transferred to the purchaser (the factor); receivables recorded as an asset in the purchaser’s books

• If sold without recourse, purchaser is fully responsible for collections of the receivables

• Seller records any retained proceeds as “due from factor” (a receivable) which covers possible sales discounts and sales returns and allowances

• Seller records gain/loss on sale of receivables (normally a loss, representing the finance charge)

• Seller records any recourse liability (if receivables are sold with recourse i.e., seller’s guarantee)

45

Presentation of Trade Accounts

and Notes Receivable• Segregate types of receivables (i.e. ordinary trade

accounts, due from related parties and other receivables segregated)

• If > 1 year, report amount and maturity date• If < 1 year, report in current assets• Use allowance account to record impairments

(IFRS also requires reconciliation of changes in the allowance account during accounting period)

• Income statement disclosure of interest income, impairment losses, and any reversals of such losses
