Accounts and Notes ReceivableAccounts and Notes Receivable

• A/R are the expected future cash receipts of a company. They are typically small and are expected to be received within 30 days.

• N/R are used when longer credit terms are necessary. The promissory note specifies the maturity date, the rate of interest, and other credit terms.

3

Value of ReceivablesValue of Receivables

• Receivables are reported at their face value less an allowance for accounts which are likely to be uncollectible.

• The amount which is actually expected to be collected is called the net realizable value (NRV).

4

Allowance Method vs. Direct Write-Off Method

Allowance Method vs. Direct Write-Off Method

• GAAP requires that A/R be reported at NRV. (A/R minus Allowance)

• This is done using a valuation allowance: An ALLOWANCE METHOD. – % of Sales (or “Income Statement”) approach.– Aging (or “Balance Sheet”) approach.

• With the ALLOWANCE METHOD, an estimate of the amount that will NOT be collected is recorded in the same period that the sales revenue is recorded. Thus, the MATCHING PRINCIPLE is being followed.

5

Allowance Method vs. Direct Write-Off Method (continued)Allowance Method vs. Direct Write-Off Method (continued)

• The DIRECT WRITE-OFF method violates GAAP because it does NOT follow the MATCHING principle.

• With the Direct Write-off method, no estimate of bad debts is recorded at the time of the sale. Rather, only after a specific account is deemed “uncollectible” is a Bad Debt Expense recorded.

• Since GAAP is only required if the amounts are MATERIAL (significant), if the amount of uncollectible A/R is immaterial the Direct Write-off method may be used.

6

Transaction Analysis: Transaction Analysis:

• Assume the following selected events occurred at Cell-It. For each event:– Determine how the accounting equation

was affected and fill in the horizontal model. (Assume GAAP must be followed.)

– Determine the effect on the financial statements.

– Record the event in t-accounts.

Summary: Accounting for Bad Debts


• Allowance method– GAAP– Required if company has a

significant amount of bad debts.

– Matches bad debt expense (on the income statement) with the sale.

– Requires an adjusting journal entry before closing the books.

43



• Direct Write-off method– Violates GAAP (Matching)– No estimates of bad debts are made,

so no allowance account is used.– Used by small businesses with few

account receivables or large business with few collection problems.

– No entry until time specific account is deemed “bad” (uncollectible).

Let’s review how to calculate interest. The basic formula is:

Time since interest was last recorded.

On Nov. 1, 2013 ATS loans $15,000 cash to Cummings at 6% for 1 year.

How much interest should be accrued on December 31, 2013? Principal X Rate X Time = Interest

Credit Card Sales

Rather than maintaining a credit granting department, many companies find it cost

beneficial to accept credit cards. The credit card company deducts a fee, usually between

2% and 8%, from the gross amount of the sales, and pays the merchant the net balance

(gross sales less credit card fee).

Financial Statement Analysis• Accounts Receivable Turnover

Sales = $ Accounts Receivable*

Accts/Rec. Turnover

This ratio is a measure of how quickly receivables are collected.

Often the AVERAGE Accts. Rec. is used as the denominator.

Ave. A/R = Beginning Accts/Rec. + Ending Accts/Rec. 2

54

Accounts Receivable Ratios

Accts. Rec. Turnover: (A measure of how fast receivables are collected. Higher is better.)

Sales $50,000 Accounts. Receiv. $ 5,000

= = 10.0 times

Average Days to collect A/R: (How many days go by between a credit sale and the time it is collected?) 365 365Accts. Rec. Turnover 10.0= = 36.5 days

Generally, lower means better.

55

Length of Operating Cycle

Ave. days to sell inventory 60.8 days

+ Ave. days to collect receivables 36.5 days

Length of Operating Cycle 97.3 days

Remember from Chapter 6 that a company’s operating cycle is the time it takes to convert inventory to cash by selling it plus the time it takes to convert accounts receivable back into cash.

So, the Operating Cycle is:

2. On Oct. 1, 2004 Cell-It issued an $8,000 face value, discounted note payable with a one-year term and an 8% stated discount rate. This is called a “Discounted” or “Non-interest bearing” note.

3. On Dec. 31, 2004 recorded interest related to the 8% interest-bearing note issued on Oct. 1st (see #1).

4. On Dec. 31, 2004 recorded interest related to the 8% discounted (non-interest bearing) note issued on Oct. 1st (see #2).

Which loan was the better deal for Cell-It?

Calculate the EFFECTIVE INTEREST % of each.

Interest bearing note:

Eff. Int. % = $ Annual Interest ÷ Cash Rec’d.

= $640 ÷ $8,000

= 8.0%

Non-Interest bearing note (Discounted note):


= $640 ÷ $7,360

= 8.7%

With note #2 Cell-It only received $7,360 from the lender, but still had to pay $640 interest for the year. That’s why the effective interest rate is higher for Note #2.

Note #1 (Interest bearing) is a “better deal” in this case.
