Chapter 7: Question E7-27 (page 370)

(Expected Cash Flows) On December 31, 2017, Conchita Martinez Company signed a \(1,000,000 note to Sauk City Bank. The market interest rate at that time was 12%. The stated interest rate on the note was 10%, payable annually. The note matures in 5 years. Unfortunately, because of lower sales, Conchita Martinez’s financial situation worsened.

Dickinson follows the policy of debiting Bad Debt Expense as accounts are written off. The chief accountant maintains that this procedure is appropriate for financial statement purposes because the Internal Revenue Service will not accept other methods for recognizing bad debts.

All of Dickinson’s sales are on a 30-day credit basis. Sales for the current year total \(2,200,000. The balance in Accounts Receivable at year-end is \)77,000 and an analysis of customer risk and charge-off experience indicates that 12% of receivables will be uncollectible (assume a zero balance in the allowance).

Instructions

(a) Do you agree or disagree with Dickinson’s policy concerning recognition of bad debt expense? Why or why not?

(b) By what amount would net income differ if bad debt expense was computed using the percentage-of-receivables approach?
