Realizable Value This is the net amount that the company can reasonably expect to collect in cash.4GAAP Required Balance Sheet Presentation:Companies don’t know which or when specific receivables will be bad, so . . . . 5they estimate amounts they think are uncollectible. Use a CONTRA Accounts Receivable account called: Allowance for Doubtful AccountsExample: Accounts Receivable reporting Konk Co. has sales of $5,000,000, of which $700,000 remains uncollected at year end. At year end, December 31, the credit manager estimates $92,000 will prove uncollectible. 6Konk Co.Balance Sheet (partial)Current assets Cash $ 14,800 Accounts receivable $700,000 Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts - 92,000 608,000 Called “Cash (net) Realizable Value” = expected cash collectionsWhen . . . Review all A/R at same time adjusting entries are made (at period end)How . . . Many techniques. Age of A/R is most common method (shown later)Adjusting Journal entry:BAD DEBT EXPENSE xxxx Allowance for Doubtful Accounts xxxx8Recording estimates in the Allowance Account:is an operating expense on the Income Statement.is an estimate. 9Bad Debt Expense: Determining a certain debt is bad won’t be known until some time in the future (maybe a couple of years!). - Occurs when a specific customer’s A/R is found out to be worthless. (bankruptcy, etc.) - Journal entry is made at this time called a “Write off” Allowance for Doubtful Accounts xxxx Accounts Receivable xxxxGo back to previous Example Konk Co. has credit sales of $5,000,000, of which $700,000 remains uncollected at year end. The credit manager estimates $92,000 will prove uncollectible. 12/31 Adjusting entry to record allowance and bad debt: Bad Debt Expense 92,000 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 92,00010On March 1 of next year, a write-off is needed for $500 owed by I. M. Bad who went bankrupt. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 500 Accounts Receivable 500 Now assume a write-off is needed:Accounts ReceivableAllowance for Doubtful Accounts Jan 1 Bal 700,000Mar 1 500Mar 1 Bal 699,500Jan 1 Bal 92,000Mar 1 500Mar 1 Bal 91,50011 Accounts receivable $700,000 $699,500 Allowance for doubtful accts - 92,000 - 91,500 Cash realizable value $608,000 $608,000 Before Write-off After Write-offEffect of a write off:12Estimating Bad Debts - Aging ReceivablesPROCESS of ESTIMATIONFirst breakout A/R into classes based on how old they are. Called an aging schedule.Multiply each class by bad debt %. Older classes have higher %. (less likely they will be paid!)This result is the desired ending balance in the allowance account.Entry adjusts existing balance to desired balance.1314Accounts Receivable AGING ScheduleEXAMPLE: A/R: Not Due Yet 10,000 1-30 days past 4,000 31 and older 2,000 16,000Allowance for doubtful accounts 100 creditALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS100.1900..05 x 10000= 500.10 x 4000= 400.50 x 2000=1000 1900Bad debt expense 1,800 Allowance for doubtful accounts 1,800 ????15Bad debts = 5% of not due, 10% of 1-30 past, 50% over 30.

(This is a crumby method)Wait to record bad debt expense when a specific A/R is found to be uncollectible. BAD DEBT EXPENSE xxxx A/R xxxxA/R on balance sheet overstate amounts realistically expected to be received in cash.Doesn’t match expenses to revenues.NOT GAAP. Use only if bad debts are negligible.17Bad Debt Alternative- DIRECT CHARGE OFFNormally requires payment of interest To the Maker, the promissory note is a note payable.To the Payee, the promissory note is a note receivable.18Notes ReceivableComputing Interest19Examples:Notes ReceivableOn Maturity, maker pays principal + interestInterest is recorded in period earned Remember “cut off” for adjusting entries.20Year endNote receivedMaturityInterest revenueInterest revenueNotes ReceivableEXAMPLE: On December 1 receive note with Face = $120,000, Life = 90 days, Rate = 10% December 1Notes Receivable 120,000.00 Cash, Sales, A/R,etc 120,000.00 Use when you get note. Ignore interest to be earned. On maturity, receive: Principal 120,000 + Interest (120,000)(.10)(90/360) = 120,000 + 3,000.00 = 123,000.00. 21If year end is 12/31, record interest earned with adjusting on December 31Interest Receivable 1,000.00 Interest Income 1,000.00 $3,000 interest for 90 days, so 1/3 is earned in 30 days.22When note collected at maturity on February 28CASH 123,000.00 N/R 120,000.00 INTEREST INCOME 2,000.00 INTEREST RECEIVABLE 1,000.00If they don’t pay when due (dishonor), write-off to allowance or record as A/R if collection still possible. 23Receivables often viewed as necessary evils of businessReceivables hinder cash flow and extend the operating cycle. Cash is better, but competition, marketing, consumer’s buying habits and economic conditions make sales on credit critical to generating revenues!24Managing ReceivablesAllow credit card charges - Retailer pays a % fee to card company - Non-payment becomes card companies expense - Bank cards (VISA & MC) are considered same as cash by bank upon deposit.25Methods used in managing receivablesSell receivables to a “factor” - Fees are charged. - Customers make payments to factor. - Payment of receivables is usually guaranteed by selling company. - Selling notes receivable is called Discounting.Provide terms as incentive for customers to pay sooner. (Chapter 5, such as 2/10, n/30)Require credit references or perform credit checks on customers (Dun & Bradstreet, Equifax)26Methods used in managing receivablesMonitor collections. Establish policy for overdue accounts. Helpful ratios include: a) A/R Turnover = Net Credit Sales Average A/R Relates to how fast cash is collected. b) Average Collection Period (age of receivables) in days equals: 365 days / receivables turnover. Usually, high turnover is good. Means less money is tied up in receivables, better cash flow. 27Methods used in managing receivables
