j. The bank credits the company account and increases the amount of the loan for 80% of the reported sales. The
loan agreement states specifically that the sales report must be accepted by the bank before the company is
credited. Sales reports are forwarded by the company to the bank on the first day following the date of sale. The

each day’s sales and 20% of each collection deposits are entered on the bank statement. The company
accountant records the hypothecation of new accounts receivable (80% of sales) as a debit to Cash and a credit to
the bank loan as of the date of sales. One hundred percent of the collection on accounts receivable is recorded
as a cash receipt; 80% of the collection is recorded in the cash disbursements books as a payment on the loan. In
connection with the hypothecation, the following facts were determined:

P180,000 on November 30, and P200,000 at December 31. The balance was made up from collections which
