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.

(Notes Receivable with Unrealistic Interest Rate) On December 31, 2015, Ed Abbey Co. performed environmental consulting services for Hayduke Co. Hayduke was short of cash, and Abbey Co. agreed to accept a $200,000 zero-interest-bearing note due December 31, 2017, as payment in full. Hayduke is somewhat of a credit risk and typically borrows funds at a rate of 10%. Abbey is much more creditworthy and has various lines of credit at 6%.

Instructions

(a) Prepare the journal entry to record the transaction of December 31, 2015, for the Ed Abbey Co.

(b) Assuming Ed Abbey Co.鈥檚 fiscal year-end is December 31, prepare the journal entry for December 31, 2016.

Answer

What is the theoretical justification of the allowance method as contrasted with the direct write-off method of accounting for bad debts?

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

How should Corrs account for the sale, without recourse, of a February 1, 2017, note receivable sold on May 1, 2017? Why is it appropriate to account for it in this way?
