Use the information presented in BE7-5 for Wilton, Inc.

(a) Instead of an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Balance of \(2,400 credit, the balance was \)1,900 debit. Assume that 10% of accounts receivable will prove to be uncollectible. Prepare the entry to record bad debt expenses.

(b) Instead of estimating uncollectible based on a percentage of receivables, assume Wilton prepares an aging schedule that estimates total uncollectible accounts at \(24,600. (Assume an allowance of \)2,400 credit.) Prepare the entry to record bad debt expenses.

BE7-5 (L03) Wilton, Inc. had net sales in 2017 of \(1,400,000. At December 31, 2017, before adjusting entries, the balances in selected accounts were Accounts Receivable \)250,000 debit, and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $2,400 credit. If Wilton estimates that 8% of its receivables will prove to be uncollectible, prepare the December 31, 2017, journal entry to record bad debt expense.

Corrs Wholesalers Co. sells industrial equipment for a standard 3-year note receivable. Revenue is recognized at time of sale. Each note is secured by a lien on the equipment and has a face amount equal to the equipment’s list price. Each note’s stated interest rate is below the customer’s market rate at date of sale. All notes are to be collected in three equal annual installments beginning one year after sale. Some of the notes are subsequently sold to a bank with recourse, some are subsequently sold without recourse, and some are retained by Corrs. At year end, Corrs evaluates all outstanding notes receivable and provides for estimated losses arising from defaults.

Instructions

At December 31, 2017, how should Corrs measure and account for the impact of estimated losses resulting from notes receivable that it

(1) Retained and did not sell?

(2) Sold to bank with recourse?

(Expected Cash Flows) On December 31, 2017, Iva Majoli Company borrowed \(62,092 from Paris Bank, signing a 5-year, \)100,000 zero-interest-bearing note. The note was issued to yield 10% interest. Unfortunately, during 2019, Majoli began to experience financial difficulty. As a result, at December 31, 2019, Paris Bank determined that it was probable that it would receive back only $75,000 at maturity. The market rate of interest on loans of this nature is now 11%.

Instructions

(a) Prepare the entry to record the issuance of the loan by Paris Bank on December 31, 2017.

(b) Prepare the entry, if any, to record the impairment of the loan on December 31, 2019, by Paris Bank.

Hayduke was short of cash, and Abbey Co. agreed to accept a $200,000 zero-interest-bearing note due December 31, 2017, as payment in full. Hayduke is somewhat of a credit risk and typically borrows funds at a rate of 10%. Abbey is much more creditworthy and has various lines of credit at 6%.

Instructions

(a) Prepare the journal entry to record the transaction of December 31, 2015, for the Ed Abbey Co.

(b) Assuming Ed Abbey Co.’s fiscal year-end is December 31, prepare the journal entry for December 31, 2016.
