Trang 1CHAPTER 8 RECEIVABLESCLASS DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1 Receivables are normally classified as (1)
accounts receivable, (2) notes receivable,
or (3) other receivables.
2 Transactions in which merchandise is sold
or services are provided on credit generate
accounts receivable.
3 a Current assets
b Investments
4 Examples of other receivables include
interest receivable, taxes receivable, and
receivables from officers or employees.
5 The principle of separation of operations
and accounting is violated (Note to
Instructors: This weakness in internal
control may permit embezzlement For
example, the accounts receivable clerk may
misappropriate cash receipts and cover the
misappropriation by a process called
lapping In lapping, the cash receipts from
one account are taken and the cash
received on a subsequent account is used
to cover the shortage The receipts on
another account are then used to cover the
shortage in this latter customer’s account,
etc This lapping generally continues until
the records are falsified to correct for the
shortage, the cash is returned by the clerk,
or the embezzlement is discovered.)
6 The allowance method
7 Contra asset, credit balance
8 The accounts receivable and allowance for
doubtful accounts may be reported at a net
amount of $759,900 ($883,150 –
$123,250) 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
$883,150 less the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $123,250, thus yielding net accounts receivable of
$759,900.
9 1 The percentage rate used is excessive
in relationship to the volume of 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.
10 An estimate based on analysis of
receivables provides the most accurate
estimate of the current net realizable value.
11 The advantages of a claim evidenced by a
note are (1) the debt is acknowledged, (2) the payment terms are specified, (3) it is a stronger claim in the event of court action, and (4) it is usually more readily transferable to a creditor in settlement of a debt or to a bank for cash.
12 a Ellsworth Company
b Notes Receivable
13 The interest will amount to $6,300 only if
the note is payable one year from the date
it was created The usual practice is to state the interest rate in terms of an annual rate, rather than in terms of the period covered by the note.

a Inappropriate Since Fridley has a large number of credit sales supported by promissory notes, a notes receivable ledger should be maintained Failure to maintain a subsidiary ledger when there are a significant number of notes receivable transactions violates the internal control procedure that mandates proofs and security Maintaining a notes receivable ledger will allow Fridley to operate more efficiently and will increase the chance that Fridley will detect accounting errors related to the notes receivable (The total of the accounts in the notes receivable ledger must match the balance of notes receivable in the general ledger.)
b Inappropriate The procedure of proper separation of duties is violated The accounts receivable clerk is responsible for too many related operations The clerk also has both custody of assets (cash receipts) and accounting responsibilities for those assets.
c Appropriate The functions of maintaining the accounts receivable account in the general ledger should be performed by someone other than the accounts receivable clerk.
d Appropriate Salespersons should not be responsible for approving credit.
e Appropriate A promissory note is a formal credit instrument that is frequently used for credit periods over 45 days.

b The number of days’ sales in receivables indicates a decrease in the efficiency
of collecting accounts receivable by increasing from 6.1 days to 7.9 days, an unfavorable trend Before reaching a more definitive conclusion, the ratios should be compared with industry averages and similar firms.
c The accounts receivable turnover indicates a slight increase in the efficiency
of collecting accounts receivable by increasing from 99.6 to 108.2, a favorable trend The number of days’ sales in receivables decreased from 3.4 days to 3.1 days, also indicating a favorable trend in collections of receivables Before reaching a more definitive conclusion, both ratios should be compared with those of past years, industry averages, and similar firms.
Note to Instructors: The high accounts receivable turnover and low number of
days’ sales in receivables suggests that most of The Limited’s sales are cash sales, such as those from MasterCard and VISA.
