TRANSCRIPT
1. Receivables are normally classified as (1) accounts receivable, (2) notes receivable, or(3) other receivables.
2. Dan’s Hardware should use the direct write-off method because it is a small business that has a relatively small number and volume of accounts receivable.
3. Contra asset, credit balance.
4. The accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts may be reported at a net amount of $661,500 ($673,400 – $11,900) in the Current assets section of the balance sheet.In this case, the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts should be shown separately in a note to the financial statements or in parentheses on the balance sheet. Alternatively, the accounts receivable may be shown at the gross amount of $673,400 less the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $11,900, thus yielding net accounts receivable of$661,500.
5. (1) The percentage rate used is excessive in relation to the accounts written off as uncollectible;hence, the balance in the allowance is excessive.
(2) A substantial volume of old uncollectible accounts is still being carried in the accounts receivable account.
6. An estimate based on analysis of receivables provides the most accurate estimate of the current net realizable value.
7. a. Sailfish Companyb. Notes Receivable
8. The interest will amount to $5,100 ($85,000 × 6%) only if the note is payable one year fromthe date it was created. The usual practice is to state the interest rate in terms of an annualrate rather than in terms of the period covered by the note.

CHAPTER 9 Receivables
Ex. 9-1
Accounts receivable from the U.S. government are significantly different from receivables from commercial aircraft carriers such as Delta and United. In itsfiling with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Boeing reports thereceivables together on the balance sheet but discloses each receivable separately in a note to the financial statements.
Ex. 9-2
a. MGM Resorts International: 15.7% ($89,789,000 ÷ $570,348,000)
b. Johnson & Johnson: 2.4% ($268,000,000 ÷ $11,002,000,000)
c. Casino operations experience greater bad debt risk because it is difficult to control the creditworthiness of customers entering the casino. In addition, individuals who may have adequate creditworthiness could overextend themselves and lose more than they can afford if they get caught up in the excitement of gambling. In contrast, Johnson & Johnson’s customers are primarily other businesses such as grocery store chains.
Note to Instructors: Approximately one-half of MGM’s receivables are related to
its casino operations.

c. The accounts receivable turnover indicates a decrease in the efficiency of collecting accounts receivable by decreasing from 12.67 to 12.27, an unfavorable change. The number of days’ sales in receivables increased from 28.7 to 29.8 days, also indicating an unfavorable change in collections of receivables. However, before a final conclusion can be reached, both ratios should be comparedwith those of past years, industry averages, and similar firms.

a. The average accounts receivable turnover ratios are as follows:
Campbell Soup: 12.47 [(12.27 + 12.67) ÷ 2]American Eagle Outfitters: 46.76 [(47.28 + 46.24) ÷ 2]
Note: For computations of the individual ratios, see Ex. 9-27 and Ex. 9-28.
b. American Eagle Outfitters has the higher average accounts receivable turnover ratio.
c. American Eagle Outfitters operates a specialty retail chain of stores that sells directly to individual consumers. Many of these consumers (retail customers) payusing MasterCard or VISA, which is recorded as cash sales. In contrast, CampbellSoup manufactures foods that are sold to food wholesalers, grocery store chains, and other food distributors that eventually sell Campbell’s products to individualconsumers. Accordingly, because of the extended distribution chain, we would expect Campbell Soup to have more accounts receivable than American Eagle.In addition, we would expect Campbell’s business customers to take a longerperiod to pay their receivables. Thus, we would expect Campbell’s average accounts receivable turnover ratio to be lower than American Eagle, as shown in a.

2. Yes. The actual write-offs of accounts originating in the first two years are reasonably close to the expense that would have been charged to those years on the basis of 1% of sales. The total write-off of receivables originating in the first year amounted to $8,500 ($4,500 + $3,000 + $1,000), as compared to baddebt expense, based on the percentage of sales, of $9,000 ($900,000 × 1%).

Uncollectible accounts estimate($123,235 – $7,375).
5. On the balance sheet, assets would be overstated by $115,860 because the allowance for doubtful accounts would be understated by $115,860. In addition, the owner’s capital account would be overstated by $115,860 because bad debt expense would be understated and net income overstated by $115,860 on the income statement.

2. Yes. The actual write-offs of accounts originating in the first two years are reasonably close to the expense that would have been charged to those years onthe basis of 1/4% of sales. The total write-off of receivables originating in the firstyear amounted to $30,600 ($18,000 + $9,000 + $3,600), as compared to bad debtexpense, based on the percentage of sales of $31,250 ($12,500,000 × 0.0025). For the
second year, the comparable amounts were write-offs of $35,600 ($21,200 + $9,300 + $5,100) and bad debt expense of $37,000 ($14,800,000 × 0.0025).

CP 9-1
Estimates of uncollectible accounts receivable create a unique financial reporting challenge. Because the company does not know with certainty the amount of accounts receivable that will be uncollectible, there is no “correct” estimate. The company must use its judgment along with historical data to develop an estimate that fairly presents the portion of credit sales that will become uncollectible. These estimates are required under GAAP and should be representationally faithful and accurately match bad debtexpense to revenues generated from credit sales.
In this case, both Tim and Gowen appear to be acting unethically. The historical dataindicate that a higher estimate is needed, and they have both knowingly ignored this data in order to improve the company’s reported earnings. Tim and Gowen have used the subjectivity in these estimates inappropriately. The result is a bad debt expenseamount that does not faithfully represent the potential losses associated with uncollectible accounts receivable.
CP 9-2
By computing interest using a 365-day year for depository accounts (liabilities), Bev is minimizing interest expense to the bank. By computing interest using a 360-day year for loans (assets), Bev is maximizing interest revenue to the bank. However, federal legislation (Truth in Lending Act) requires banks to computeinterest on a 365-day year. Hence, Bev is behaving in an unprofessional manner.

Re: Allowance Method for Uncollectible Accounts
Accounts receivable result from the sale of goods to customers on account. Because
payment is received from customers after goods are delivered, there is a risk that
customers will default on their accounts. While the company does not know which
customers will default, it does have historical information on the portion of accounts
receivable that has become uncollectible in the past. The allowance method uses this
information to estimate the amount of accounts receivable that will be uncollectible
at the end of the accounting period. Based on this estimate, an adjusting entry is used to
record bad debt expense. However, because the company does not know which
customer accounts will be uncollectible, the specific customer accounts cannot be
removed. Instead, a contra asset account, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, is credited
for the estimated bad debts in the adjusting journal entry:
Bad Debt Expense XXX
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts XXX
This adjusting entry affects both the income statement and balance sheet. On the
income statement, bad debt expense is matched against the revenues generated
by the accounts receivable. On the balance sheet, the accounts receivable balance is
reduced by the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is the portion of the accounts
receivable that the company does not expect to collect. This resulting number is the
amount of accounts receivable that the company expects to collect, called the net
realizable value of the receivables.
When a specific customer’s account is identified as uncollectible, it is written off against
the allowance account. This requires the company to remove the specific account
receivable from the accounts receivable ledger and an equal amount from the allowance
account. Because the adjusting entry for bad debt expense is an estimate and the
write-off of accounts receivable is based on actual defaults, the allowance account
will rarely have a zero balance at the beginning or end of a period.

$20,000 $15,000 ($20,000 – $5,000)22,000 18,750 ($5,000 + $22,000 – $8,250)24,000 22,050 ($8,250 + $24,000 – $10,200)25,500 21,300 ($10,200 + $25,500 – $14,400)
2. a. The estimate of 1/2 of 1% of credit sales may be too large because the allowancefor doubtful accounts has steadily increased each year. The increasing balanceof the allowance for doubtful accounts may also be due to the failure to writeoff a large number of uncollectible accounts. These possibilities could be evaluated by examining the accounts in the accounts receivable subsidiaryledger for collectibility and comparing the result with the balance in theallowance for doubtful accounts.
Note to Instructors: Because the allowance for doubtful accounts increased by 188%
[($14,400 – $5,000) ÷ $5,000] while sales increased by 27.5% [($5,100,000 – $4,000,000) ÷ $4,000,000], the increase cannot be explained by an expanding volume of sales.
b. The balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts that should exist at December 31, 20Y7, can only be determined after all attempts have been made to collect the receivables on hand at December 31, 20Y7. However, the account balances at December 31, 20Y7, could be analyzed, perhapsusing an aging schedule, to determine a reasonable amount of allowance and to determine accounts that should be written off. Also, past write-offs of uncollectible accounts could be analyzed in depth in order to develop a reasonable percentage for future adjusting entries, based on past history. Caution, however, must be exercised in using historical percentages. Specifically, inquiries should be made to determine whether any significant changes between prior years and the current year may have occurred, which might reduce the accuracy of the historical data. For example, a recent change in credit-granting policies or changes in the general economy (entering a recessionary period, for example) could reduce the usefulness of analyzing historical data.
Based on the preceding analyses, a recommendation to decrease the annual rate charged as an expense may be in order (perhaps Xtreme Co. is experiencing a lower rate of uncollectibles than is the industry average), or perhaps a change to the “estimate based on analysis of receivables” method may be appropriate.

The days’ sales in receivables could also be computed by dividing 365 days bythe accounts receivable turnover as follows:
Year 2: 11.3 (365 days ÷ 32.37)Year 1: 11.7 (365 days ÷ 31.17)
3. The accounts receivable turnover indicates an increase in the efficiency of collecting accounts receivable by increasing from 31.17 to 32.37, a favorable change. The days’ sales in receivables decreased from 11.7 days to 11.3, a favorable change. Thus, based on (1) and (2), Best Buy has increased its efficiency in the collection of receivables.
4. We assumed that the percentage of credit sales to total sales remains constant from one period to the next and no major changes in operations occurred between years. For example, if the percentage of credit sales to total sales is not similar or if the percentage changes between years, then the ratios would be distorted and, thus, not comparable. Also, any major changes in operations could distort the comparison between years.

The days’ sales in receivables could also be computed by dividing 365 days bythe accounts receivable turnover as follows:
Year 2: 52.7 (365 days ÷ 6.93)Year 1: 55.6 (365 days ÷ 6.57) (Difference due to rounding)
3. The accounts receivable turnover indicates an increase in the efficiency of collecting accounts receivable by increasing from 6.57 to 6.93, a favorable change. The days’ sales in receivables decreased from 55.5 days to 52.7, a favorable change. Before a more definitive conclusion can be reached, the ratios should be compared with industry averages and similar firms.

Year 2: 6.0 (365 days ÷ 61.33)Year 1: 5.9 (365 days ÷ 61.91)
3. The accounts receivable turnover indicates a slight decrease in the efficiency of collecting accounts receivable by decreasing from 61.91 to 61.33, an unfavorable change. The days’ sales in receivables increased from 5.9 days to 6.0 days, an unfavorable change. Before a more definitive conclusion can be reached, the ratios should be compared with industry averages and similar firms.
4. Costco’s accounts receivable turnover would normally be higher than that of atypical manufacturing company such as the Campbell Soup Company. This is because many of Costco’s customers charge their purchases to credit cardsor pay with checks or cash. In contrast, the customers of the Campbell Soup Company are other businesses that pay their accounts receivable on a less timely basis. For a recent year, the accounts receivable turnover ratio for Campbell Soup was 12.27 (see Ex. 9-27).

2. The companies with accounts receivable turnover ratios above 15 are all companies selling primarily to individual consumers. In contrast, companies with turnover ratios below 15 are companies selling primarily to other businesses. Generally, we would expect companies selling to individual consumers to have higher turnover ratios, since many customers will charge their purchases on credit cards. In contrast, companies selling to other businesses normally allow a credit period of at least 30 days or longer.
