After receiving the first of two equal annual installments on September 30, 2017, Rolen immediately sold the note with recourse. On October 9, 2018, Rolen received notice that the note was dishonored, and it paid all amounts due. At all times prior to default, the note was reasonably expected to be paid in full.

Instructions

What are the effects of the sale of the note receivable with recourse on Rolen’s income statement for the year ended December 31, 2017, and its balance sheet at December 31, 2017?
