3. C7 - 3 Classification of Receivables  Accounts Receivable – used for selling merchandise or services on credit, and normally expected to be collected in a relatively short period. 4 Notes Receivable – used to grant credit on the basis of a formal instrument of credit, called a promissory note. 4 Other Receivables – interest receivable, taxes receivable, and receivables from officers or employees.

4. C7 - 4 Accounting for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable This method is not consistent with the matching principle. Accounts that prove to be uncollectible are written off in the year they become worthless. Uncollectible Accounts Expense is debited and Accounts Receivable is credited for each such transaction. The Direct Write-Off Method The Direct Write-Off Method

5. C7 - 5 Calculating Interest and Maturity Value Interest Calculation We received a $2,500, 10%, 90-day note dated March 16, 2000. Principal x Rate x Time = Interest $2,500 x 10% x 90 /360 = $62.50 Principal + Interest = Maturity Value $2,500 + $62.50 = $2,562.50 Maturity Value Calculation

7. C7 - 7 Accounting for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable This method is consistent with the matching principle. Management makes an estimate each year of the portion of accounts receivable that may not be collectible. Uncollectible Accounts Expense is debited and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is credited. Actual accounts that prove to be uncollectible are debited to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and credited to Accounts Receivable. The Allowance Method The Allowance Method

9. C7 - 9 Estimating Uncollectible Accounts Expense 1.Estimate based on a percentage of sales. Uncollectible Accounts Expense If credit sales for the period are $300,000 and it is estimated that 1% will be uncollectible, the Uncollectible Accounts Expense is $3,000. 2. Estimate based on analysis of receivables. Uncollectible Accounts Expense If it is estimated that $3,390 of the receivables will be uncollectible and the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is $510, the Uncollectible Accounts Expense is $2,880 ($3,390 – $510). Uncollectible Accounts Expense The allowance method uses two ways to estimate the amount debited to Uncollectible Accounts Expense.

18. C7 - 18 4 In commercial transactions it is traditional to use a 360-day year. 4 The historic rationale for this procedure was ease of calculation which made sense before the computer and calculator age. 4 Why does this practice continue when most small calculators and desktop computers can present complex interest calculations in a few seconds? Understanding the 360-Day Year

19. C7 - 19 Another Look at the 360-Day Year 1.Assume a $100,000 note dated June 1 for 90 days at an interest rate of 12 percent. The textbook calculation is as follows: $100,000 x (12 / 100) x (90 /360) = $3,000.00 2.A more precise calculation is as follows: $100,000 x (12 / 100) x (90 /365) = $2,958.90 3.When large sums are involved the 360-day method (known as ordinary interest or banker’s rule) yields significantly more interest to the lender. It is used by banks and commercial organizations. 4.The second method (known as exact interest) is used by the federal government and the Federal Reserve System.
