On December 1, 2019, Sharp Company assigned specific accounts receivable

totaling P2,000,000 as collateral on a P1,500,000 12% note from Equity Bank.
Sharp will continue to collect the assigned accounts receivable. In addition to the
interest on the note, the bank also charged a 5% finance fee deducted in advance
on the P1,500,000 value of the note. The December collections of assigned
accounts receivable amounted to P1,000,000 less cash discount of P50,000. On
December 31, 2019, Sharp Company remitted the collections to Equity Bank in
payment for the interest accrued as at December 31, 2019 and the notes payable.

5. What amount of cash was received from the assignment of accounts receivable
on December 1, 2019?
a. P2,000,000
b. P1,900,000
c. P1,500,000
d. P1,425,000

To record the assignment of accounts receivable

Accounts Receivable – Assigned 2,000,000
Accounts Receivable 2,000,000

To record the loan

Cash 1,425,000
Finance Fee 75,000
Notes Payable 1,500,000
Finance fee is 5% of P1,500,000, or P75,000, deducted in advance. Hence, the
loan proceeds is P1,425,000 (P1,500,000 – 75,000)

6. In the journal entry to record the loan proceeds, Sharp shall

a. Debit “Accounts Receivable – Assigned” P1,500,000
b. Credit “Accounts Receivable” P1,500,000
c. Debit “Cash” P1,500,000
d. Credit “Notes Payable” P1,500,000
Refer to the journal entry to record the loan

b. Credit “Accounts Receivable” P1,000,000
c. Debit “Sales Discount” P50,000
d. Credit “Interest Income” P15,000

To record the December collection of assigned accounts receivable

a. P270,000
b. P435,000
c. P450,000
d. P500,000

To record remittance of collection in payment of one-month interest and

principal
Notes Payable 935,000
Interest Expense 15,000
Cash 950,000
Interest Expense is computed as P1,500,000 X 12% X 1/12, or P15,000
Amount charged to Notes Payable is computed as P950,000 (the collection of
assigned accounts) MINUS the Interest Expense of P15,000, or P935,000

At this point, general ledger or T-account of Accounts Receivable – Assigned and

Notes Payable will show

Accounts Receivable - Assigned

Assignment 2,000,000 Collection 1,000,000

Notes Payable
Remittance 935,000 Loan 1,500,000

Thus, to compute for the equity in assigned accounts receivable:

Accounts Receivable – Assigned 1,000,000
Less: Notes Payable 565,000
--------------
Equity in assigned accounts receivable 435,000
