ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
1. Define receivables and enumerate the classes of receivables.
Receivables are financial assets because they represent a contractual right to receive cash
or another financial asset from another entity.
For retailers or manufacturers, receivables are classified into trade receivables and nontrade
receivables.
Trade receivables refer to claims arising from sale of merchandise or services in the ordinary
course of business operations. The usual types are accounts receivable and notes
receivable.
Accounts receivable are open accounts or those not supported by promissory notes.
Other names of accounts receivable are customers' accounts, trade debtors, and trade
accounts receivable.
Notes receivable are those supported by formal promises to pay in the form of notes.
Nontrade receivables represent claims arising from sources other than the sale of
merchandise or services in the ordinary course of business.
For banks and other financial institutions, receivables result primarily from loans to
customers.
The loans are made to heterogeneous customers and the repayment periods are frequently
longer or over several years.
Trade receivables which are expected to be realized in cash within the normal operating cycle
or one year, whichever is longer, are classified as current assets.
Nontrade receivables which are expected to be realized in cash within one year, the length
of the operating cycle notwithstanding, are classified as current assets.
If collectible beyond one year, nontrade receivables are classified as noncurrent assets.
Trade receivables and nontrade receivables which are currently collectible shall be presented
as one line item called "trade and other receivables".
PFRS 9, paragraph 5.1.1, provides that when a financial asset is recognized initially, an entity
shall measure it at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition.
The fair value of a financial asset is usually the transaction price, meaning, the fair value of
the consideration given.
For short-term receivables, the fair value is equal to the face value or original invoice amount.
Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted because the effect of
discounting is usually immaterial.
For long-term receivables that are interest-bearing, the fair value is equal to the face value.
However, for long-term receivables that are noninterest-bearing, the fair value is equal to the
present value of all future cash flows discounted using the prevailing market rate of interest
for similar receivables.
Thus, initially, long-term interest-bearing notes receivable shall be measured at face value
and long-term noninterest-bearing notes receivable shall be measured at present value.
Accounts receivable shall be measured initially at face value or original invoice amount.
However, subsequently the accounts receivable shall be measured at net realizable value,
meaning the amount of cash expected to be collected or the estimated recoverable amount.
The initial amount recognized for accounts receivable shall be reduced by adjustments which
in the ordinary course of business will reduce the amount receivable from the customer.
This is based on the established principle that assets shall not be carried at an amount above
their recoverable amount.
Accordingly, in estimating the net realizable value of trade accounts receivable, the following
deductions are made:
Customers' credit balances are credit balances in accounts receivable resulting from
overpayments, returns and allowances, and advance payments from customers.
Customers' credit balances are classified as current liabilities and shall not be offset against
the debit balances in other customers' accounts.
However, when the amount is not material, only the net accounts receivable may be
presented in the statement of financial position.
The two methods of accounting for bad debts are the allowance method and direct writeoff
method.
The allowance method requires recognition of bad debt loss if the accounts are doubtful of
collection.
The doubtful accounts are recorded by debiting doubtful accounts and crediting allowance
for doubtful accounts.
Generally accepted accounting principles require the use of the allowance method because
it conforms with the matching principle.
The direct writeoff method requires recognition of a bad debt loss only when the accounts
are worthless or uncollectible.
Worthless accounts are recorded by debiting bad debts and crediting accounts receivable.
As a matter of fact, the Bureau of Internal Revenue recognizes only this method for income
tax purposes.
In other words, the recovery is recorded by reversing the entry of writeoff by debiting accounts
receivable and crediting allowance for doubtful accounts.
The collection is then normally recorded by debiting cash and crediting accounts receivable.
Doubtful accounts are recognized when the loss is probable and the amount can be
estimated reliably.
The three methods of estimating doubtful accounts are aging, percentage of accounts
receivable and percentage of sales.
Aging method
The aging method involves an analysis of the accounts whether not due or past due. Past
due accounts are further classified in terms of the length of the period past due.
The required allowance for doubtful accounts is then determined by multiplying the total of
each classification by the rate of loss experienced by the entity for each category.
The major argument for this method is the more accurate and scientific computation of
allowance for doubtful accounts.
Consequently, the accounts receivable would be fairly presented at net realizable value.
Thus, this method is a statement of financial position approach.
A certain rate is multiplied by the ending accounts receivable balance in order to get the
required allowance balance. The rate used is usually determined from past experience of the
entity.
This procedure has also the advantage of presenting the accounts receivable at estimated
net realizable value.
This method is also a statement of financial position approach because it favors the statement
of financial position.
The amount of sales for the year is multiplied by a certain rate to get the doubtful accounts
expense. The rate may be applied on credit sales or total sales.
When this method is used, proper matching is achieved because doubtful accounts are
directly related to sales from which they arise, and are reported in the same year of sale.
Thus, this method is an income statement approach because it favors the income statement.
1. Distribution cost — If the granting of credit and collection of accounts are under the
charge of the sales manager, doubtful accounts shall be considered as distribution cost.
2. Administrative expense - If the granting of credit and collection of accounts are under the
charge of an officer other than sales manager, doubtful accounts shall be considered as
administrative expense.
Many entities record allowance for doubtful accounts using aging, percentage of accounts
receivable and percentage of sales. The approach is relatively direct and uncomplicated.
PFRS 9, paragraph 5.2.2, provides that an entity shall apply the impairment requirements in
paragraphs 58 to 65 of PAS 39 for financial asset measured at amortized cost.
PAS 39, paragraph 58, provides that an entity shall assess at every year-end whether there
is an objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
Paragraph 59 provides that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired if there
is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more "loss events" having an impact
on the estimated cash flows of the financial asset that can be measured reliably.
11. What are the "loss events" that would indicate impairment of accounts receivable?
Paragraph 59 provides that the following loss events may indicate evidence of impairment of
accounts receivable:
12. Explain the assessment whether accounts receivable should be considered impaired.
PAS 39, paragraph 64, provides the following detailed guideline in assessing whether
accounts receivable should be considered impaired:
a. Individually significant accounts receivable should be considered for impairment
separately and if impaired, the impairment loss is recognized.
b. Accounts receivable not individually significant should be collectively assessed for
impairment.
c. Accounts receivable not considered impaired should be included with other accounts
receivable with similar credit-risk characteristics and collectively assessed for
impairment.
NOTES RECEIVABLE
1. Define notes receivable.
Notes receivable are claims supported by formal promises to pay usually in the form of notes.
Simply stated, a promissory note is a written contract in which one person, known as the
maker, promises to pay another person, known as the payee, a definite sum of money.
Standing alone, the term "notes receivable" represents only claims arising from sale of
merchandise or service in the ordinary course of business.
Thus, notes received from officers, employees, shareholders and affiliates shall be
designated separately.
Theoretically, dishonored notes shall be removed from the notes receivable account and
transferred to accounts receivable at an amount to include, if any, interest and other charges.
Such approach is defended on the ground that the overdue note has lost part of its status as
a negotiable instrument and really represents only an ordinary claim against the maker.
The present value is the sum of all future cash flows discounted using the prevailing market
rate of interest for similar notes.
The prevailing market rate of interest is actually the effective interest rate.
Cash flows relating to short-term notes receivable are not discounted because the effect of
discounting is usually not material.
The initial measurement of long-term notes depends on whether the notes are interest-
bearing or noninterest-bearing
Interest bearing long-term notes are measured at face value which is actually the present
value upon issuance.
Noninterest-bearing long-term notes are measured at present value which is the discounted
value of the future cash flows using the effective interest rate.
Actually, the term "noninterest-bearing" is a misnomer because all notes implicitly contain
interest.
It is simply a case of the "interest being included in the face amount" rather than being stated
as a separate rate.
The "amortized cost" is the amount at which the note receivable is measured initially minus
principal repayment, plus or minus the cumulative amortization of any difference between the
initial carrying amount and the principal maturity amount minus reduction for impairment or
uncollectibility.
For long-term noninterest-bearing notes receivable, the amortized cost is the present value
plus amortization of the discount, or the face value minus the unamortized unearned interest
income.
LOAN RECEIVABLE
Essay Questions
1. Define loan receivable.
A loan receivable is a financial asset arising from a loan granted by a bank or other financial
institution to a borrower or client. The term of the loan may be short-term but in most cases,
the repayment periods cover several years.
At initial recognition, an entity shall measure a loan receivable at fair value plus transaction
costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
The fair value of the loan receivable at initial recognition is normally the transaction price,
meaning, the amount of the loan granted.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the loan receivable include origination fees.
Direct origination costs should be included in the initial measurement of the loan receivable.
PFRS 9, paragraph 4.1.2, provides that if the business model in managing financial asset is
to collect contractual cash flows on specified dates and the contractual cash flows are solely
payments of principal and interest, the financial asset shall be measured at amortized cost.
Accordingly, a loan receivable is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest method.
The "amortized cost" is the amount at which the receivable is measured initially minus
principal repayment, plus or minus the cumulative amortization of any difference between the
initial amount recognized and the principal maturity amount, minus reduction for impairment
or uncollectibility.
Lending activities usually precede the actual disbursement of funds and generally include
efforts to identify and attract potential borrowers and to originate a loan.
The fees charged by the bank against the borrower for the creation of the loan are known as
"origination fees".
Origination fees include compensation for activities such as evaluating the borrower's
financial condition, evaluating guarantees, collateral and other security, negotiating the terms
of the loan, preparing and processing documents and closing the loan transaction.
The origination fees received from borrower are recognized as unearned interest income and
amortized over the term of the loan.
If the origination fees are not chargeable against the borrower, the fees are known as "direct
origination costs".
The direct origination costs are deferred and also amortized over the term of the loan.
Preferably, the direct origination costs are offset directly against any origination fees received.
If the origination fees received exceed the direct origination costs, the difference is unearned
interest income and the amortization will increase interest income.
If the direct origination costs exceed the origination fees received, the difference is charged
to "direct origination costs" and the amortization will decrease interest income.
Accordingly, the origination fees received and the direct origination Costs are included in the
measurement of the loan receivable.
PFRS 9, paragraph 5.2.2, in conjunction with PAS 39, paragraph 58, provides that an entity
shall assess at every end of reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a
financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
If such evidence exists, the entity shall determine and recognize the amount of any
impairment loss.
Objective evidence of impairment may result from the following "loss events" occurring after
the initial recognition of the financial asset:
PFRS 9, paragraph 5.2.2, provides that if there is evidence that an impairment loss on loan
receivable carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured
as the "difference between the carrying amount of the loan receivable and the present value
of estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective rate of the loan."
The carrying amount of the loan receivable shall be reduced either directly or through the use
of an allowance account.
RECEIVABLE FINANCING
Essay Questions
1. Explain receivable financing.
Receivable financing is the financial flexibility or capability of an entity to raise money out of
the receivables.
The common forms of receivable financing are pledge, assignment, factoring of accounts
receivable and discounting of notes receivable.
When loans are obtained from the bank or any lending institution, the accounts receivable
may be pledged as collateral security for the payment of the loan.
Normally, the borrowing entity makes the collections of the pledged accounts but may be
required to turn over the collections to the bank in satisfaction for the loan.
No complex problems are involved in this form of financing except the accounting for the
loan. The loan is recorded by debiting cash and discount on note payable if loan is
discounted, and crediting note payable.
The subsequent payment of the loan is recorded by debiting note payable and crediting cash.
With respect to the pledged accounts, no' entry would be necessary. It is sufficient that
disclosure is made in a note to financial statement.
In substance, assignment of accounts receivable means that a borrower called the assignor
transfers its rights in some of its accounts receivable to a lender called the assignee in
consideration for a loan.
However, pledging is general because all accounts receivable serve as collateral security for
the loan.
On the other hand, assignment is specific because specific accounts receivable serve as
collateral security for the loan.
Factoring differs from an assignment in that an entity actually transfers ownership of the
accounts receivable to the factor.
Thus, the factor assumes responsibility for uncollectible factored accounts. In assignment,
the assignor retains ownership of the accounts assigned.
Because of the nature of the transaction, the customers whose accounts are factored are
notified and required to pay directly to the factor.
The factor has then the responsibility of keeping the receivable records and collecting the
accounts.
The payee legally becomes an endorser and the bank becomes an endorsee.
Endorsement may be with recourse which means that the endorser shall pay the endorsee if
the maker dishonors the note. This is the contingent liability of the endorser.
Endorsement may be without recourse which means that the endorser avoids future liability
even if the maker refuses to pay the endorsee on the date of maturity.
1. Net proceeds refer to the discounted value of the note received by the endorser from the
endorsee.
The formula is as follows:
2. Maturity value is the amount due on the note at the date of maturity.
Discount is equal to maturity value times discount rate times discount period.
Discount rate is the rate used by the bank in computing the discount.
Discount period is the period of time from date of discounting to maturity date. It is the
unexpired term of the note.
The reason is that assignment of accounts receivable is a secured borrowing and not a sale
of accounts receivable.
The assignor should disclose its "equity in the assigned accounts" which is equal to the
accounts receivable assigned minus note payable to the bank.
The reason is that factoring is an absolute sale of accounts receivable and therefore the
accounts receivable factored should be derecognized.
If the factor withholds a certain portion or percentage of the accounts receivable purchased,
the portion retained by the purchaser should be included in receivables by the seller.
The amount withheld by the factor is known as "factor's holdback" which is actually an amount
due from the factor.
Notes receivable discounted without recourse shall be excluded from total notes receivable
without separate disclosure.
Notes receivable discounted with recourse shall be excluded from total notes receivable but
the contingent liability shall be appropriately disclosed.
Some believe that if a note receivable is discounted with recourse, the transaction shall be
accounted for as a secured borrowing.
Accordingly, an entity shall not derecognize the note receivable discounted but instead shall
record an accounting liability for an amount equal to the face amount of the note discounted.

Net realizable value 925,000
goods are still unsold. The cost of the consigned goods of P200,000 (260,000 /130%) should
be included in inventory. The security deposit is a noncurrent receivable.
19. Answer is (A). The discount is 2% if accounts are paid in 15 days. Thus, of the total accounts
receivable, only the amount of P2,000,000 within the "0-15 days" category is still subject to
cash discount. The available discount is 2% times P2,000,000 or P40,000. Since, only 50%
of the customers take advantage of the discounts, the cash discount to be recognized is 50%
of P40,000 or P20,000.
The journal entry to record the sales discount is:
Sales discount 20,000
Allowance for sales discount 20,000
