PROBLEM 7

From the inception of operations to Dec. 31, 2023, DLSU Corp. provided for uncollectible accounts
receivable under the allowance method: provisions were made monthly at 3% of credit sales; bad debts
written off were charged to the Allowance account; and debts previously written off but were recovered are
credited to a revenue account; and no year-end adjustments to the Allowance account were made. DLSU’
usual credit terms are net 30 days.

The balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was P143, 000 at January 1, 2023. During 2023, credit
sales totaled P15,000,000; interim provisions for doubtful accounts were made at 2% of credit sales,
P140,000 of bad debts were written off, and recoveries of accounts previously written off amounted to
P43,000. DLSU installed a computer facility in November 2023 and an aging of accounts receivable was
prepared for the first time as of December 31, 2023. A summary of the aging is as follows:

Classification by month of sale Balance % Uncollectible

November-December 2023 2,160,000 2
July-October 2023 1,300,000 10
January-June 2023 840,000 25
Prior to Jan. 1, 2023 300,000 70

Based on the review of the collectability of the account balances in the ‘Prior to Jan. 1, 2023’ aging
category, additional receivables totalling P120,000 were written off as of December 31, 2023. The 70%
uncollectible estimate applies to the remaining P180,000 in the category. Effective with the year ended
December 31, 2023, DLSU adopted a new accounting method for estimating the allowance for doubtful
accounts at the amount indicated by the year-end aging analysis of accounts receivable.

1. What is the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts on December 31, 2023 before year-end
adjustments?
2. What is the additional expense, if any, to adjust the existing allowance?

Page 2 of 5
3. For the year ended December 31, 2023, DLSU’s doubtful accounts expense would be?
4. How much is the net realizable value of DLSU’s accounts receivable at December 31, 2023?

PROBLEM 8

Green Co. purchases the accounts receivable of other companies on a without recourse, notification basis.
At the time the receivables are factored, 15% of the amount factored is charged to the client as commission
and recognized as revenue in Green’s books. Also, 10% of the receivables factored is withheld by Green
as protection against sales returns or other adjustments. This amount is credited by Green to the Client
Retainer account. At the end of each month, payments are made by Green to its clients so that the balance
in the Client Retainer account is equal to 10% of unpaid factored receivables. Based on Green’s bad debt
loss experience, an allowance for bad debts of 5% of all factored receivables is to be established. Green
makes adjusting entries at the end of each month.

On January 3, 2023, White Co. factored its accounts receivable totaling P3,000,000. By January 31,
P2,500,000 of these receivables had been collected by Green.
