CHAPTER 9
RECEIVABLES

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Receivables are normally classified as (1) accounts receivable, (2) notes receivable, or
(3) other receivables.
2. Dan’s Hardware should use the direct write-off method because it is a small business that has
a relatively small number and volume of accounts receivable.
3. Contra asset, credit balance.
4. The accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts may be reported at a net
amount of $661,500 ($673,400 – $11,900) 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 $673,400 less the amount of the
allowance for doubtful accounts of $11,900, thus yielding net accounts receivable of
$661,500.
5. (1) The percentage rate used is excessive in relation to the 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.
6. An estimate based on analysis of receivables provides the most accurate estimate of the
current net realizable value.
7. a. Sailfish Company
b. Notes Receivable
8. The interest will amount to $5,100 ($85,000 × 6%) 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.
9. Debit Accounts Receivable for $243,600
Credit Notes Receivable for $240,000
Credit Interest Revenue for $3,600
10. Cash 245,427
Accounts Receivable [$240,000 + ($240,000 × 6% × 90 ÷ 360)] 243,600
Interest Revenue ($243,600 × 9% × 30 ÷ 360) 1,827

CHAPTER 9 Receivables

EXERCISES
Ex. 9-1
Accounts receivable from the U.S. government are significantly different from receivables
from commercial aircraft carriers such as Delta and United. In its filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, Boeing reports the receivables together on the balance
sheet but discloses each receivable separately in a note to the financial statements.

Ex. 9-2
a. MGM Resorts International: 12.1% ($90,775,000 ÷ $747,981,000)
b. Johnson & Johnson: 1.7% ($248,000,000 ÷ $14,346,000,000)
c. Casino operations experience greater bad debt risk because it is difficult to control
the creditworthiness of customers entering the casino. In addition, individuals who
may have adequate creditworthiness could overextend themselves and lose more
than they can afford if they get caught up in the excitement of gambling. In contrast,
Johnson & Johnson’s customers are primarily other businesses such as grocery
store chains.
Note to Instructors: Approximately one-half of MGM’s receivables are related to its
casino operations.

CHAPTER 9 Receivables

Ex. 9-26
a. and b.
Year 2 Year 1
Sales……………………………… $6,182,300 $6,652,800
Accounts receivable…………… $ 643,600 $ 664,600
Average accts. receivable…… $ 654,100 $ 717,650
[($643,600 + $664,600) ÷ 2] [($664,600 + $770,700) ÷ 2]
Accts. receivable turnover…… 9.45 9.27
($6,182,300 ÷ $654,100) ($6,652,800 ÷ $717,650)
Average daily sales…………… $ 16,937.8 $ 18,226.8
($6,182,300 ÷ 365) ($6,652,800 ÷ 365)
Days’ sales in receivables…… 38.6 39.4
($654,100 ÷ $16,937.8) ($717,650 ÷ $18,226.8)

The days’ sales in receivables could also be computed by dividing 365 days by
the accounts receivable turnover as follows:
Year 2: 38.6 (365 days ÷ 9.45)
Year 1: 39.4 (365 days ÷ 9.27)
c. The accounts receivable turnover indicates a slight increase in the efficiency of
collecting accounts receivable by increasing from 9.27 to 9.45, a favorable
change. The days’ sales in receivables also indicates an increase in the efficiency
of collecting accounts receivable by decreasing from 39.4 to 38.6, which is a
favorable change. However, before reaching a final conclusion, the ratios
should be compared with industry averages and similar firms.

Ex. 9-27
a. and b.
Year 2 Year 1
Sales……………………………… $8,685 $7,890
Accounts receivable…………… $ 805 $ 616
Average accts. receivable…… $710.5 $627.0
[($805 + $616) ÷ 2] [($616 + $638) ÷ 2]
Accts. receivable turnover…… 12.22 12.58
($8,685 ÷ $710.5) ($7,890 ÷ $627.0)
Average daily sales…………… $23.79 $21.62
($8,685 ÷ 365) ($7,890 ÷ 365)
Days’ sales in receivables…… 29.9 29.0
($710.5 ÷ $23.79) ($627.0 ÷ $21.62)

The days’ sales in receivables could also be computed by dividing 365 days by
the accounts receivable turnover as follows:
Year 2: 29.9 (365 days ÷ 12.22)
Year 1: 29.0 (365 days ÷ 12.58)

CHAPTER 9 Receivables

Ex. 9-27 (Concluded)


c. The accounts receivable turnover indicates a decrease in the efficiency of collecting
accounts receivable by decreasing from 12.58 to 12.22, an unfavorable change. The
number of days’ sales in receivables increased from 29.0 to 29.9 days, also indicating
an unfavorable change in collections of receivables. However, before a final
conclusion can be reached, both ratios should be compared with those of past
years, industry averages, and similar firms.

Ex. 9-28
a. and b.
Year 2 Year 1
Sales……………………………… $4,036 $3,796
Accounts receivable……………… $ 93 $ 78
Average accts. receivable……… $ 85.5 $ 82.5
[($93 + $78) ÷ 2] [($78 + $87) ÷ 2]
Accts. receivable turnover……… 47.20 46.01
($4,036 ÷ $85.5) ($3,796 ÷ $82.5)
Average daily sales……………… $ 11.1 $ 10.4
($4,036 ÷ 365) ($3,796 ÷ 365)
Days’ sales in receivables……… 7.7 7.9
($85.5 ÷ $11.1) ($82.5 ÷ $10.4)

The days’ sales in receivables could also be computed by dividing 365 days by the
accounts receivable turnover as follows:
Year 2: 7.7 (365 days ÷ 47.20)
Year 1: 7.9 (365 days ÷ 46.01)
c. The accounts receivable turnover indicates an increase in the efficiency of collecting
accounts receivable by increasing from 46.01 to 47.20, a favorable change. The
days’ sales in receivables indicates an increase in the efficiency of collecting
accounts receivable by decreasing from 7.9 to 7.7, also indicating a favorable
change. Before a conclusion can be reached, however, the ratios should be
compared with industry averages and similar firms.

CHAPTER 9 Receivables

Ex. 9-29
a. The average accounts receivable turnover ratios are as follows:
Campbell Soup: 12.40 [(12.22 + 12.58) ÷ 2]
American Eagle Outfitters: 46.61 [(47.20 + 46.01) ÷ 2]
Note: For computations of the individual ratios, see Ex. 9-27 and Ex. 9-28.

b. American Eagle Outfitters has the higher average accounts receivable turnover
ratio.

c. American Eagle Outfitters operates a specialty retail chain of stores that sells
directly to individual consumers. Many of these consumers (retail customers) pay
using MasterCard or VISA, which is recorded as cash sales. In contrast, Campbell
Soup manufactures foods that are sold to food wholesalers, grocery store chains,
and other food distributors that eventually sell Campbell’s products to individual
consumers. Accordingly, because of the extended distribution chain, we would
expect Campbell Soup to have more accounts receivable than American Eagle.
In addition, we would expect Campbell’s business customers to take a longer
period to pay their receivables. Thus, we would expect Campbell’s average
accounts receivable turnover ratio to be lower than American Eagle, as shown
in (a).

2. Yes. The actual write-offs of accounts originating in the first two years are
reasonably close to the expense that would have been charged to those years
on the basis of 1% of sales. The total write-off of receivables originating in
the first year amounted to $8,500 ($4,500 + $3,000 + $1,000), as compared to bad
debt expense, based on the percentage of sales, of $9,000 ($900,000 × 1%). For
the second year, the comparable amounts were write-offs of $11,800 ($6,600 +
$3,700 + $1,500) and bad debt expense of $12,500 ($1,250,000 × 1%).

2. Yes. The actual write-offs of accounts originating in the first two years are
reasonably close to the expense that would have been charged to those years on
the basis of 1/4% of sales. The total write-off of receivables originating in the first
year amounted to $30,600 ($18,000 + $9,000 + $3,600), as compared to bad debt
expense, based on the percentage of sales of $31,250 ($12,500,000 × 0.0025). For the
second year, the comparable amounts were write-offs of $35,600 ($21,200 + $9,300 +

CHAPTER 9 Receivables

CASES & PROJECTS


CP 9-1
Estimates of uncollectible accounts receivable create a unique financial reporting
challenge. Because the company does not know with certainty the amount of accounts
receivable that will be uncollectible, there is no “correct” estimate. The company must
use its judgment along with historical data to develop an estimate that fairly presents the
portion of credit sales that will become uncollectible. These estimates are required
under GAAP and should be representationally faithful and accurately match bad debt
expense to revenues generated from credit sales.
In this case, both Tim and Gowen appear to be acting unethically. The historical data
indicate that a higher estimate is needed, and they have both knowingly ignored this
data in order to improve the company’s reported earnings. Tim and Gowen have used
the subjectivity in these estimates inappropriately. The result is a bad debt expense
amount that does not faithfully represent the potential losses associated with
uncollectible accounts receivable.

CP 9-2
By computing interest using a 365-day year for depository accounts (liabilities), Bev is
minimizing interest expense to the bank. By computing interest using a 360-day year
for loans (assets), Bev is maximizing interest revenue to the bank. However, federal
legislation (Truth in Lending Act) requires banks to compute interest on a 365-day year.
Hence, Bev is behaving in an unprofessional manner.

CP 9-3
A sample solution based on Nike Inc.’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018,
follows:
1. a. $3,498 million (from balance sheet)
b. $30 million (Note 1)
c. 23.1% ($3,498 ÷ $15,134) in 2018; 22.9% ($3,677 ÷ $16,061) in 2017.
Accounts receivable as a percentage of total current assets has increased.
d. The amount for Nike is so small that it is not reported in the financial
statements.
2. The company’s receivables turnover has improved from 9.9 in 2017 to 10.1 in 2018,
as shown below.
2018 2017
Sales……………………………………………………… $ 36,397 $ 34,350
Beginning accounts receivable……………………… $ 3,677 $ 3,241
Ending accounts receivable………………………… 3,498 3,677
Average accounts receivable………………………… $3,587.5 $3,459.0

CHAPTER 9 Receivables

CP 9-4
To: Todd Hurley, CEO
From: A+ Student
Re: Allowance Method for Uncollectible Accounts
Accounts receivable result from the sale of goods to customers on account. Because
payment is received from customers after goods are delivered, there is a risk that
customers will default on their accounts. While the company does not know which
customers will default, it does have historical information on the portion of accounts
receivable that has become uncollectible in the past. The allowance method uses this
information to estimate the amount of accounts receivable that will be uncollectible
at the end of the accounting period. Based on this estimate, an adjusting entry is used to
record bad debt expense. However, because the company does not know which
customer accounts will be uncollectible, the specific customer accounts cannot be
removed. Instead, a contra asset account, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, is credited
for the estimated bad debts in the adjusting journal entry:

Bad Debt Expense XXX


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts XXX

This adjusting entry affects both the income statement and balance sheet. On the
income statement, bad debt expense is matched against the revenues generated
by the accounts receivable. On the balance sheet, the accounts receivable balance is
reduced by the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is the portion of the accounts
receivable that the company does not expect to collect. This resulting number is the
amount of accounts receivable that the company expects to collect, called the net
realizable value of the receivables.
When a specific customer’s account is identified as uncollectible, it is written off against
the allowance account. This requires the company to remove the specific account
receivable from the accounts receivable ledger and an equal amount from the allowance
account. Because the adjusting entry for bad debt expense is an estimate and the
write-off of accounts receivable is based on actual defaults, the allowance account
will rarely have a zero balance at the beginning or end of a period.

CP 9-5
1. a. b.
Addition to Allowance Accounts Written
Year for Doubtful Accounts Off During Year
20Y4 $20,000 $15,000 ($20,000 – $5,000)
20Y5 22,000 18,750 ($5,000 + $22,000 – $8,250)
20Y6 24,000 22,050 ($8,250 + $24,000 – $10,200)
20Y7 25,500 21,300 ($10,200 + $25,500 – $14,400)

2. a. The estimate of 1/2 of 1% of credit sales may be too large because the allowance
for doubtful accounts has steadily increased each year. The increasing balance
of the allowance for doubtful accounts may also be due to the failure to write
off a large number of uncollectible accounts. These possibilities could be
evaluated by examining the accounts in the accounts receivable subsidiary
ledger for collectibility and comparing the result with the balance in the
allowance for doubtful accounts.
Note to Instructors: Because the allowance for doubtful accounts increased by 188%
[($14,400 – $5,000) ÷ $5,000] while sales increased by 27.5% [($5,100,000 – $4,000,000) ÷
$4,000,000], the increase cannot be explained by an expanding volume
of sales.

b. The balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts that should exist at


December 31, 20Y7, can only be determined after all attempts have been
made to collect the receivables on hand at December 31, 20Y7. However,
the account balances at December 31, 20Y7, could be analyzed, perhaps
using an aging schedule, to determine a reasonable amount of allowance
and to determine accounts that should be written off. Also, past write-offs
of uncollectible accounts could be analyzed in depth in order to develop a
reasonable percentage for future adjusting entries, based on past history.
Caution, however, must be exercised in using historical percentages.
Specifically, inquiries should be made to determine whether any significant
changes between prior years and the current year may have occurred,
which might reduce the accuracy of the historical data. For example, a
recent change in credit-granting policies or changes in the general
economy (entering a recessionary period, for example) could reduce the
usefulness of analyzing historical data.
Based on the preceding analyses, a recommendation to decrease the
annual rate charged as an expense may be in order (perhaps Xtreme Co. is
experiencing a lower rate of uncollectibles than is the industry average), or
perhaps a change to the “estimate based on analysis of receivables”
method may be appropriate.

Average daily sales………………… $ 117.5 $ 115.5
($42,879 ÷ 365) ($42,151 ÷ 365)
Days’ sales in receivables………… 8.8 10.4
($1,032 ÷ $117.5) ($1,198 ÷ $115.5)

The days’ sales in receivables could also be computed by dividing 365 days by
the accounts receivable turnover as follows:
Year 2: 8.8 (365 days ÷ 41.55)
Year 1: 10.4 (365 days ÷ 35.18)
3. The accounts receivable turnover indicates an increase in the efficiency of
collecting accounts receivable by increasing from 35.18 to 41.55, a favorable
change. The days’ sales in receivables decreased from 10.4 days to 8.8, a
favorable change. Thus, based on (1) and (2), Best Buy has increased its
efficiency in the collection of receivables.
4. We assumed that the percentage of credit sales to total sales remains constant
from one period to the next and no major changes in operations occurred
between years. For example, if the percentage of credit sales to total sales is
not similar or if the percentage changes between years, then the ratios would
be distorted and, thus, not comparable. Also, any major changes in operations
could distort the comparison between years.

($20,530 ÷ $727.7) ($16,814 ÷ $628.0)

The days’ sales in receivables could also be computed by dividing 365 days by
the accounts receivable turnover as follows:
Year 2: 28.2 (365 days ÷ 12.94)
Year 1: 26.8 (365 days ÷ 13.63)

3. The accounts receivable turnover indicates a decline in the efficiency of


collecting accounts receivable by decreasing from 13.63 to 12.94, an unfavorable
change. The days’ sales in receivables increased from 26.8 days to 28.2, an
unfavorable change. Before a more definitive conclusion can be reached, the
ratios should be compared with industry averages and similar firms.

The days’ sales in receivables could also be computed by dividing 365 days by
the accounts receivable turnover as follows:
Year 2: 4.1 (365 days ÷ 89.28)
Year 1: 3.9 (365 days ÷ 94.02)

3. The accounts receivable turnover indicates a slight decrease in the efficiency of


collecting accounts receivable by decreasing from 94.02 to 89.28, an unfavorable
change. The days’ sales in receivables increased from 3.9 days to 4.1 days, an
unfavorable change. Before a more definitive conclusion can be reached, the
ratios should be compared with industry averages and similar firms.

4. Costco’s accounts receivable turnover would normally be higher than that of a


typical manufacturing company such as the Campbell Soup Company. This is
because many of Costco’s customers charge their purchases to credit cards
or pay with checks or cash. In contrast, the customers of the Campbell Soup
Company are other businesses that pay their accounts receivable on a less
timely basis. For a recent year, the accounts receivable turnover ratio for
Campbell Soup was 12.22 (see Ex. 9-27).

1. Note to Instructors: The turnover ratios will vary over time. Recently, the various
turnover ratios (rounded to one decimal place) were as follows:

Alcoa Corp. …………………………… 12.2


AutoZone, Inc. ………………………… 40.6
Barnes & Noble, Inc. ………………… 55.8
Caterpillar ……………………………… 6.7
The Coca-Cola Company …………… 8.3
Delta Air Lines ………………………… 17.3
The Home Depot ……………………… 50.5
IBM ……………………………………… 9.8
Kroger …………………………………… 79.6
Procter & Gamble …………………… 13.8
Wal-Mart ………………………………… 95.1
Whirlpool Corporation ……………… 8.5

Based on the above ratios, the companies can be categorized as follows:

Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio


Below 15 Above 15
Alcoa Inc. AutoZone, Inc.
Caterpillar Barnes & Noble, Inc.
The Coca-Cola Company Delta Air Lines
IBM The Home Depot
Procter & Gamble Kroger
Whirlpool Corporation Wal-Mart

2. The companies with accounts receivable turnover ratios above 15 are all companies
selling primarily to individual consumers. In contrast, companies with turnover
ratios below 15 are companies selling primarily to other businesses. Generally, we
would expect companies selling to individual consumers to have higher turnover
ratios, since many customers will charge their purchases on credit cards. In
contrast, companies selling to other businesses normally allow a credit period of
at least 30 days or longer.
