(Journalizing Various Receivable Transactions) Presented below is information related to James Garfield Corp., which sells merchandise with terms 2/10, net 60. Garfield records its sales and receivables net.

July 1 James Garfield Corp. sold to Warren Harding Co. merchandise having a sales price of \(8,000.

5 Accounts receivable of \)9,000 (gross) are factored with Andrew Jackson Credit Corp. without recourse at a financing charge of 9%. Cash is received for the proceeds; collections are handled by the finance company. (These accounts were all past the discount period.)

9 Specific accounts receivable of \(9,000 (gross) are pledged to Alf Landon Credit Corp. as security for a loan of \)6,000 at a finance charge of 6% of the amount of the loan. The finance company will make the collections. (All the accounts receivable are past the discount period.)

Dec. 29 Warren Harding Co. notifies Garfield that it is bankrupt and will pay only 10% of its account. Give the entry to write off the uncollectible balance using the allowance method. (Note: First record the increase in the receivable on July 11 when the discount period passed.)

Instructions

Prepare all necessary entries in general journal form for Garfield Corp

On December 31, 2017, Firth Company borrowed \(62,092 from Paris Bank, signing a 5-year, \)100,000 zero-interest-rate note. The note was issued to yield 10% interest. Unfortunately, during 2019, Firth began to experience financial difficulty. As a result, at December 31, 2019, Paris Bank determined that it was probable that it would collect only $75,000 at maturity. The market rate of interest on loans of this nature is now 11%.

Instructions

(a) Prepare the entry (if any) to record the impairment of the loan on December 31, 2019, by Paris Bank.

(b) Prepare the entry on March 31, 2020, if Paris learns that Firth will be able to repay the loan under the original terms.

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.
