www.downloadslide.net Receivables Should Credit Be Extended? J ames Hulsey works for a large department store as a credit manager His main responsibility is managing all credit sales that generate accounts receivable James must evaluate each customer’s request for credit and determine which customers are allowed to purchase goods on credit He does this by reviewing the customer’s credit history and credit score James has an important decision to make He understands that granting credit increases the sales of the department store, but it also has its disadvantages One of those disadvantages is that the department store has to wait to receive cash But, for James, the biggest disadvantage—and the most frustrating part of his job—is when customers don’t pay When this happens, the department store suffers a loss because it will never collect the cash associated with the sale The department store must have a way to take the accounts of customers who will never make payment off the books; this is called a write-off In addition, James must also help the department store estimate the amount of receivables that will be uncollectible It’s important that the department store have a good idea of the amount of cash that will actually be collected on its receivables so it can estimate future cash flows How Are Receivables Accounted For? In this chapter, we determine how companies account for receivables Receivables represent the right to receive cash in the future from a current transaction We begin by looking at how companies such as Sears Holdings Corporation (the parent company of Kmart Holding Corporation and Sears, Roebuck and Co.) record accounts receivable, including when customers don’t make the required payments Then we review notes receivable, which usually extend over a longer term than accounts receivable and typically involve interest We finish the chapter by looking at how companies (and investors) can use financial ratios to evaluate a company’s ability to collect cash on accounts receivable www.downloadslide.net Receivables 459 Chapter Learning Objectives Define and explain common types of receivables and journalize sales on credit Account for notes receivable including computing interest and recording honored and dishonored notes Apply the direct write-off method for uncollectibles Apply the allowance method for uncollectibles and estimate bad debts expense based on the percent-of-sales, percent-of-receivables, and aging-of-receivables methods Use the acid-test ratio, accounts receivable turnover ratio, and days’ sales in receivables to evaluate business performance WHAT ARE COMMON TYPES OF RECEIVABLES, AND HOW ARE CREDIT SALES RECORDED? A receivable occurs when a business sells goods or services to another party on account (on credit) It is a monetary claim against a business or an individual The receivable is the seller’s claim for the amount of the transaction Receivables also occur when a business loans money to another party A receivable is the right to receive cash in the future from a current transaction It is something the business owns; therefore, it is an asset Each receivable transaction involves two parties: • The creditor, who receives a receivable (an asset) The creditor will collect cash from the customer or borrower • The debtor, the party to a credit transaction who takes on an obligation/payable (a liability) The debtor will pay cash later Learning Objective Define and explain common types of receivables and journalize sales on credit Receivable A monetary claim against a business or an individual Debtor The party to a credit transaction who takes on an obligation/payable Types of Receivables The three major types of receivables are: • Accounts receivable • Notes receivable • Other receivables Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable, also called trade receivables, represent the right to receive cash in the future from customers for goods sold or for services performed Accounts receivable are usually collected within a short period of time, such as 30 or 60 days, and are therefore reported as a current asset on the balance sheet Notes Receivable Notes receivable usually have longer terms than accounts receivable Notes receivable, sometimes called promissory notes, represent a written promise that a customer (or another individual or business) will pay a fixed amount of principal plus interest by a certain date in the future—called the maturity date The maturity date is the date on which the notes receivable is due A written document known as a promissory note serves as evidence of Accounts Receivable The right to receive cash in the future from customers for goods sold or for services performed Notes Receivable A written promise that a customer will pay a fixed amount of principal plus interest by a certain date in the future Maturity Date The date when a note is due www.downloadslide.net 460 chapter the debt and is signed by the debtor Notes receivable due within 12 months or within the normal operating cycle if the cycle is longer than a year are c onsidered current assets Notes receivable due beyond one year are long-term assets Other Receivables Other receivables make up a miscellaneous category that includes any other type of receivable where there is a right to receive cash in the future Common examples include dividends receivable, interest receivable, and taxes receivable These other receivables may be either current or long-term assets, depending on whether they will be received within one year or the normal operating cycle if the cycle is longer than a year (current asset) or received more than a year in the future (long-term asset) Exercising Internal Control Over Receivables Businesses that sell goods or services on account receive cash by mail, usually in the form of a check, or online payments via electronic funds transfer (EFT), so internal control over collections is important. As we discussed in the previous chapter, a critical element of internal control is the separation of cash-handling and cash-accounting duties Most large companies also have a credit department to evaluate customers’ credit applications to determine if they meet the company’s credit approval standards The extension of credit is a balancing act The company does not want to lose sales to good customers, but it also wants to avoid receivables that will never be collected For good internal control over cash collections from receivables, separation of duties must be maintained The credit department should have no access to cash, and those who handle cash should not be in a position to grant credit to customers If a credit department employee also handles cash, he or she could pocket money received from a customer The employee could then label the customer’s account as uncollectible, and the company would stop billing that customer In this scenario, the employee may have covered his or her theft Recording Sales on Credit As discussed earlier, selling on account (on credit) creates an account receivable Businesses must maintain a separate accounts receivable account for each customer in order to account for payments received from the customer and amounts still owed For example, Smart Touch Learning provides $5,000 in services to customer Brown on account and sells $10,000 (sales price) of merchandise inventory to customer Smith on account on August The revenue is recorded (ignore Cost of Goods Sold) as follows: Ac Accounts Receivablec L + = Ec Date Service Revenuec Aug Accounts and Explanation Accounts Receivable—Brown Debit Credit 5,000 5,000 Service Revenue Performed service on account Ac Accounts Receivablec L + = Ec Sales Revenuec Accounts Receivable—Smith Sales Revenue Sold goods on account 10,000 10,000 www.downloadslide.net Receivables 461 These separate customer accounts receivable (for example, Accounts Receivable—Brown) are called subsidiary accounts The sum of all balances in subsidiary accounts receivable equals a control account balance In this case, Accounts Receivable serves as the control account This is illustrated as follows: CONTROL ACCOUNT SUBSIDIARY ACCOUNTS Accounts Receivable Bal Accounts Receivable—Brown 15,000 Bal 5,000 Accounts Receivable—Smith Bal 10,000 Total for subsidiary accounts = $15,000 The control account, Accounts Receivable, shows a balance of $15,000 The individual customer accounts in the subsidiary ledger (Accounts Receivable—Brown $5,000 + Accounts Receivable—Smith $10,000) add up to a total of $15,000 When the business collects cash from both customers on August 29—$4,000 from Brown and $8,000 from Smith—Smart Touch Learning makes the following entry and posts the entry to the T-accounts: Date Aug 29 Accounts and Explanation Debit Credit 12,000 Cash Accounts Receivable—Brown 4,000 Accounts Receivable—Smith 8,000 Collected cash on account CONTROL ACCOUNT Bal Bal SUBSIDIARY ACCOUNTS

$3,000 Decreasing Collection Time and Credit Risk One of the many drawbacks of accepting sales on account is that the company must wait for the receipt of cash Sometimes this time period could be delayed as much as 60 to 90 days In addition, there is always the risk that the company will never collect on the receivable Let’s look at some options companies have to decrease the collection time in receiving cash while also transferring the risk of noncollection to a third party AcT Cashc Accounts ReceivableT L = + E www.downloadslide.net 462 chapter Credit Card and Debit Card Sales In the previous chapter, we looked at accepting third party credit cards and debit cards, such as American Express, MasterCard, and Visa, as a way to increase sales By accepting credit cards and debit cards, businesses are able to attract more customers Credit cards offer the customer the convenience of buying something without having to pay cash immediately Debit cards, on the other hand, reduce the customer’s bank account immediately but allow the customer to pay electronically instead of with currency or by writing a check Businesses also benefit from accepting payment by credit and debit cards They not have to check each customer’s credit rating or worry about keeping accounts receivable records or even collecting from the customer because the card issuer has the responsibility of collecting from the customer Thus, instead of collecting cash from the customer, the seller will receive cash from the card issuer While there is almost always a fee to the seller to cover the processing costs charged by the card issuer, most businesses consider the benefits of transferring the risk of not being able to collect from the customer and avoiding the costs associated with credit customers are greater than the costs of the processing fees Factoring and Pledging Receivables When a business factors its receivables, it sells its receivables to a finance company or bank (often called a factor) The business immediately receives cash less an applicable fee from the factor for the receivables The factor, instead of the business, now collects the cash on the receivables The business no longer has to deal with the collection of the receivable from the customer The business receives cash associated with the receivable from the factor instead of the customer Pledging of receivables is another option for businesses that need cash immediately In a pledging situation, a business uses its receivables as security for a loan The business borrows money from a bank and offers its receivables as collateral The business is still responsible for collecting on the receivables, but it uses this money to pay off the loan along with interest In pledging, if the loan is not paid, the bank can collect on the receivables In both situations, the business has managed to receive cash immediately for the receivables instead of having to wait for collection Try It!

Selling on account brings both a benefit and a cost: Learning Objective • The benefit to a business is the potential increased revenues and profits by making sales to a wider range of customers • The cost, however, is that some customers not pay, creating uncollectible receivables Customers’ accounts receivable are an asset Accounts receivable that are uncollectible must be written off, which means they must be removed from the books, because the company does not expect to receive cash in the future Instead, the company must record an expense associated with the cost of the uncollectible account This expense is called bad debts expense Bad debts expense is sometimes called doubtful accounts expense or uncollectible accounts expense There are two methods of accounting for uncollectible receivables and recording the related bad debts expense: Apply the direct write-off method for uncollectibles Bad Debts Expense The cost to the seller of extending credit It arises from the failure to collect from some credit customers • Direct write-off method • Allowance method Recording and Writing Off Uncollectible Accounts—Direct Write-off Method The direct write-off method of accounting for uncollectible receivables is primarily used by small, nonpublic companies Under the direct write-off method, accounts receivable are written off and bad debts expense is recorded when the business determines that it will never collect from a specific customer For example, let’s assume that on August Smart Touch Learning determines that it will not be able to collect $200 from customer Dan King for a sale of merchandise inventory made on May The company would write off the customer’s account receivable by debiting Bad Debts Expense and crediting the customer’s Accounts Receivable as follows: Date Aug Accounts and Explanation Bad Debts Expense Debit Credit 200 Accounts Receivable—King 200 Wrote off an uncollectible account Once an account receivable is written off, the company stops pursuing the collection Some companies might turn delinquent receivables over to an attorney or other collection agency to recover some of the cash for the company, but generally companies not expect to receive any future payment Recovery of Accounts Previously Written Off—Direct Write-off Method Occasionally after a company writes off an account, the customer will decide to make payment To account for this recovery, the company must reverse the earlier write-off For example, on September 10, Smart Touch Learning unexpectedly receives $200 cash from Direct Write-off Method A method of accounting for uncollectible receivables in which the company records bad debts expense when a customer’s account receivable is uncollectible AT Accounts ReceivableT L = + ET Bad Debts Expensec www.downloadslide.net 464 chapter Dan King The company will reverse the earlier write-off and then record the cash collection as follows: Ac L Accounts Receivablec = Ec Date Bad Debts ExpenseT Sep 10 Accounts and Explanation Accounts Receivable—King Debit Credit 200 Bad Debts Expense 200 Reinstated previously written off account AcT Cashc Accounts ReceivableT L = E 10 Cash Accounts Receivable—King 200 200 Collected cash on account In order to keep accurate records about the collection of cash for a previously written off account, the business should reestablish the Accounts Receivable by debiting the receivable account Then the business can record the receipt of cash for the receivable by debiting Cash and crediting Accounts Receivable This helps restore the credit history of the customer by showing that the customer did fulfill the promise of payment Limitations of the Direct Write-off Method The direct write-off method, as stated earlier, is often used only by small, nonpublic companies This is because the direct write-off method violates the matching principle The matching principle requires that the expense of uncollectible accounts be matched with the related revenue For example, when using the direct write-off method, a company might record sales revenue in 2017 but not record the bad debts expense until 2018 By recording the bad debts expense in a different year than when the revenue was recorded, the company is overstating net income in 2017 and understating net income in 2018 In addition, on the balance sheet at December 31, 2017, Accounts Receivable will be overstated because the company will have some receivables that will be uncollectible but are not yet written off This method is only acceptable for companies that have very few uncollectible receivables Most companies must use a method that does a better job of matching expenses to the associated sales revenue This method is called the allowance method, and it is the method required by GAAP Try It! Williams Company uses the direct write-off method to account for uncollectible receivables On July 18, Williams wrote off a $6,800 account receivable from customer W Jennings On August 24, Williams unexpectedly received full payment from Jennings on the previously written off account Journalize Williams’s write-off on the uncollectible receivable Journalize Williams’s collection of the previously written off receivable Check your answers online in Pearson MyLab Accounting or at http://www.pearsonglobaleditions.com/Sitemap/ Horngren/ For more practice, see Short Exercises S8-3 and S8-4 Pearson MyLab Accounting www.downloadslide.net Receivables HOW ARE UNCOLLECTIBLES ACCOUNTED FOR WHEN USING THE ALLOWANCE METHOD? Most companies use the allowance method to measure bad debts The allowance method is based on the matching principle; thus, the key concept is to record bad debts expense in the same period as the sales revenue The offset to the expense is a contra asset account called Allowance for Bad Debts or Allowance for Doubtful Accounts or Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts The allowance account is subtracted from the asset Accounts Receivable The business does not wait to see which customers will not pay Instead, it records a bad debts expense based on estimates developed from past experience and uses the Allowance for Bad Debts to hold the pool of “unknown” uncollectible accounts Recording Bad Debts Expense—Allowance Method When using the allowance method, companies estimate bad debts expense at the end of the period and then record an adjusting entry Suppose that as of December 31, 2019, Smart Touch Learning estimates that $80 of its $4,400 accounts receivable are uncollectible The accounting clerk will record the following adjusting entry: Date Accounts and Explanation Debit Learning Objective Apply the allowance method for uncollectibles and estimate bad debts expense based on the percent-of-sales, percentof-receivables, and agingof-receivables methods Allowance Method A method of accounting for uncollectible receivables in which the company estimates bad debts expense instead of waiting to see which customers the company will not collect from Allowance for Bad Debts A contra asset account, related to accounts receivable, that holds the estimated amount of uncollectible accounts Credit 2019 Dec 31 AT 80 Bad Debts Expense 465 80 Allowance for Bad Debts Recorded bad debts expense for the period Allowance for Bad Debtsc L = + ET Bad Debts Expensec After posting the adjusting entry, Smart Touch Learning has the following balances in its accounts: Accounts Receivable Dec 31 4,400 Allowance for Bad Debts 80 Dec 31 Bad Debts Expense Dec 31 80 Accounts Receivable will be reported on the balance sheet, but it will now be shown at the net realizable value Net realizable value is the net value the company expects to Net Realizable Value The net value a company expects to collect from its accounts receivable Accounts Receivable less Allowance for Bad Debts www.downloadslide.net 466 chapter collect from its accounts receivable (Accounts Receivable less Allowance for Bad Debts) Smart Touch Learning would report the following on its balance sheet: SMART TOUCH LEARNING Balance Sheet (Partial) December 31, 2019 Assets Under IFRS, receivables are r ecognized and reported similarly to what is required by GAAP Accounts Receivable must be reported at net realizable value The allowance method is used to accomplish the matching of bad debt expense to the sales of the period and to report receivables at net realizable value Under IFRS, the Allowance for Bad Debts may be called the Provision for Bad Debts IFRS provides more detailed criteria than GAAP for determining when an account is uncollectible Current Assets: Accounts Receivable Less: Allowance for Bad Debts $ 4,400 (80) $ 4,320 The balance sheet now reports the amount of accounts receivable that Smart Touch Learning expects to collect, $4,320 The contra account, Allowance for Bad Debts, is subtracted from Accounts Receivable showing that although $4,400 is owed to Smart Touch Learning, the company estimates that $80 of accounts receivable will be uncollectible ETHICS Should the uncollectible accounts be underestimated? Norah Wang is in the process of recording adjusting entries for her employer, Happy Kennels She is evaluating the uncollectible accounts and determining the amount of bad debts expense to record for the year Her manager, Gillian Tedesco, has asked that Norah underestimate the amount of uncollectible accounts for the year Gillian is hoping to get a bank loan for an expansion of the kennel facility, and she is concerned that the net income of the company will be too low for a loan to be approved What should Norah do? Solution It is important that accounts receivable be reported at the appropriate amount on the balance sheet This involves determining an accurate estimate of uncollectible accounts and recognizing the associated bad debts expense In understating the amount of uncollectible accounts, Norah would be misleading the bank on the amount of cash that Happy Kennels expects to collect in the future Norah would also understate Bad Debts Expense and overstate net income on the income statement Writing Off Uncollectible Accounts—Allowance Method Why isn’t Bad Debts Expense debited when writing off an account receivable when using the allowance method? When using the allowance method, companies still write off accounts receivable that are uncollectible However, instead of recording a debit to Bad Debts Expense (as done when using the direct write-off method), the company will record a debit to Allowance for Bad Debts Bad Debts Expense is not debited when a company writes off an account receivable when using the allowance method because the company has already recorded the Bad Debts Expense as an adjusting entry The entry to write off an account under the allowance method has no effect on net income at the time of entry www.downloadslide.net Receivables 467 For example, on January 10, 2020, Smart Touch Learning determines that it cannot collect a total of $25 from its customer, Shawn Clark The accounting clerk would record the following entry to write off the account: Date Accounts and Explanation Debit Credit 2020 Jan 10 AcT 25 Allowance for Bad Debts 25 Accounts Receivable—Clark Wrote off an uncollectible account Smart Touch Learning’s account balances after the write-off are: Accounts Receivable Jan 1, 2020 4,400 25 Jan 10, 2020 Bal 4,375 Allowance for Bad Debts 80 Jan 1, 2020 Jan 10, 2020 25 55 Bal The entry to write off a receivable reduces the amount of the Allowance for Bad Debts account and also the Accounts Receivable account, but it does not affect the net realizable value shown on the balance sheet This is because both Allowance for Bad Debts (contra asset) and Accounts Receivable (asset) were reduced by the amount of the write-off In addition, the write-off of a receivable does not affect net income because the entry does not involve revenue or expenses Accounts Receivable Less: Allowance for Bad Debts Net Realizable Value Before Write-off After Write-off $ 4,400 $ 4,375 (80) (55) $ 4,320 $ 4,320 Recovery of Accounts Previously Written Off—Allowance Method After a company has previously written off an account, the company stops attempting to collect on the receivable Customers will occasionally make payment on receivables that have already been written off A business will need to reverse the write-off to the Allowance for Bad Debts account and then record the receipt of cash In reversing the write-off, the business is reestablishing the receivable account and reversing the write-off from the Allowance for Bad Debts account Recall that Smart Touch Learning wrote off the $25 receivable from customer Shawn Clark on January 10, 2020 It is now March 4, 2020, and Smart Touch Learning unexpectedly Allowance for Bad DebtsT Accounts ReceivableT L = + E
