Chapter 7: 6CA_b (page 377)

On September 30, 2016, Rolen Machinery Co. sold a machine and accepted the customer鈥檚 zero-interest-bearing note. Rolen normally makes sales on a cash basis. Since the machine was unique, its sales price was not determinable using Rolen鈥檚 normal pricing practices.

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.

Because of calamitous earthquake losses, Bernstein Company, one of your client鈥檚 oldest and largest customers, suddenly and unexpectedly became bankrupt. Approximately 30% of your client鈥檚 total sales have been made to Bernstein Company during each of the past several years. The amount due from Bernstein Company鈥� none of which is collectible鈥攅quals 22% of total accounts receivable, an amount that is considerably in excess of what was determined to be an adequate provision for doubtful accounts at the close of the preceding year. How would your client record the write-off of the Bernstein Company receivable if it is using the allowance method of accounting for bad debts? Justify your suggested treatment.

Corrs Wholesalers Co. sells industrial equipment for a standard 3-year note receivable. Revenue is recognized at time of sale. Each note is secured by a lien on the equipment and has a face amount equal to the equipment鈥檚 list price. Each note鈥檚 stated interest rate is below the customer鈥檚 market rate at date of sale. All notes are to be collected in three equal annual installments beginning one year after sale. Some of the notes are subsequently sold to a bank with recourse, some are subsequently sold without recourse, and some are retained by Corrs. At year end, Corrs evaluates all outstanding notes receivable and provides for estimated losses arising from defaults.

Instructions

What is the appropriate valuation basis for Corrs鈥檚 notes receivable at the date it sells equipment?

Use the information presented in BE7-5 for Wilton, Inc.

(a) Instead of an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Balance of \(2,400 credit, the balance was \)1,900 debit. Assume that 10% of accounts receivable will prove to be uncollectible. Prepare the entry to record bad debt expenses.

(b) Instead of estimating uncollectible based on a percentage of receivables, assume Wilton prepares an aging schedule that estimates total uncollectible accounts at \(24,600. (Assume an allowance of \)2,400 credit.) Prepare the entry to record bad debt expenses.

BE7-5 (L03) Wilton, Inc. had net sales in 2017 of \(1,400,000. At December 31, 2017, before adjusting entries, the balances in selected accounts were Accounts Receivable \)250,000 debit, and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $2,400 credit. If Wilton estimates that 8% of its receivables will prove to be uncollectible, prepare the December 31, 2017, journal entry to record bad debt expense.

(Expected Cash Flows) On January 1, 2017, Botosan Company issued a \(1,200,000, 5-year, zero-interest bearing note to National Organization Bank. The note was issued to yield 8% annual interest. Unfortunately, during 2018 Botosan fell into financial trouble due to increased competition. After reviewing all available evidence on December 31, 2018, National Organization Bank decided that the loan was impaired. Botosan will probably pay back only \)800,000 of the principal at maturity.

Instructions

(a) Prepare journal entries for both Botosan Company and National Organization Bank to record the issuance of the note on January 1, 2017. (Round to the nearest $10.)

(b) Assuming that both Botosan Company and National Organization Bank use the effective-interest method to amortize the discount, prepare the amortization schedule for the note.

(c) Under what circumstances can National Organization Bank consider Botosan鈥檚 note to be impaired?

(d) Compute the loss National Organization Bank will suffer from Botosan鈥檚 financial distress on December 31, 2018. What journal entries should be made to record this loss?

(Bad-Debt Reporting) Marvin Company is a subsidiary of Hughes Corp. The controller believes that the yearly allowance for doubtful accounts for Marvin should be 8% of gross accounts receivable. Given the recession and the high interest rate environment, the president, nervous that the parent company might expect the subsidiary to sustain its 10% growth rate, suggests that the controller increase the allowance for doubtful accounts to 9%. The president thinks that the lower net income, which reflects a 6% growth rate, will be a more sustainable rate for Marvin Company.

Instructions

(a) In a recessionary environment with tight credit and high interest rates:

(1) Identify steps Marvin Company might consider to improve the accounts receivable situation.

(2) Then evaluate each step identified in terms of the risks and costs involved.

(b) Should the controller be concerned with Marvin Company鈥檚 growth rate in estimating the allowance? Explain your answer.

(c) Does the president鈥檚 request pose an ethical dilemma for the controller? Give your reasons.
