Topic Presentation

TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

Receivables, in the broadest sense, represent any legitimate claim from others for money,
goods or services. In the narrower sense and as contemplated in accounting, receivables
represent claims that are expected to be settled by receipt of cash or another financial asset
from another entity. Loans and receivables are financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9
Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments – Disclosures.
For accounting purposes, receivables include the following:
1. Amounts collectible from customers and others, most frequently arising from sales of
merchandise, claims for money lent, or the performance of services. They may be on
open accounts or evidenced by time drafts or promissory notes.
2. Accrued revenues, such as accrued interest, commissions, rental and others.
3. Other items such as loans and advances to officers, employees, affiliated companies,
customers or other outside parties; legitimate claims against suppliers and insurance
companies; and other claims arising from nonrecurring transactions such as calls for
subscription receivables and disposal of property.

CLASSIFICATION OF RECEIVABLES ACCORDING TO SOURCE


As to source or origin, receivables are classified into two, namely:
1. Trade Receivables. Receivables arising from sale of goods or services in the normal course
of business are called trade receivables. These receivables should include only charges for
actual sales completed (when there has already been actual or constructed delivery of goods
or performance of services) on or before the end of the reporting period. These receivables
include accounts receivables and notes receivable.

2. Non-trade Receivables. Receivables that arise from sources other than from sale of goods
or services in the normal course of business are considered non-trade receivables.
Specific examples of non-trade receivables include:
1. Loans to officers and employees
2. Advances to affiliates
3. Accrued interest and dividends
4. Deposits to guarantee performance or payment or to cover possible damages or losses
5. Subscriptions for the entity’s equity securities
6. Deposit with creditors
7. Claims for losses and damages
8. Claims for tax refunds or rebates
9. Claims against common carriers for damaged or lost goods

CLASSIFICATION OF RECEIVABLES IN THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION


In a properly classified statement of financial position, trade receivables are generally
classified as current assets because they are collectible within the entity’s normal operating
cycle. The normal operating cycle is the period required for cash to be converted into
inventories through purchase and production, inventories into receivables through sale, and
receivables back into cash equivalents through collection.

INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING PART 1 3


RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Cities of Mandaluyong and Pasig

Where the normal operating cycle of the business extends beyond twelve months because of
long credit terms, as in the case of certain installment receivables (e.g., installment sales for
household appliances), in which such accounts are an integral part of working capital, it is
appropriate to classify the receivables as current assets; however, the amount or estimate
thereof not collectible within twelve months should be disclosed.
Non-trade receivables that are expected to be collected within 12 months from the end of the
reporting period are also classified as current assets, regardless of the length of the entity’s
normal operating cycle. Non-trade receivables that are not reasonably expected to be collected
within twelve months from the end of the reporting period are reported as non-current assets.
However, subscription receivable with call date beyond twelve months from the end of the
reporting period is appropriately reported as deduction from shareholders’ equity.

of a Trade and Other Receivable Item

INITIAL RECOGNITION
Based on IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, an entity shall recognize a financial asset in its statement
of financial position when and only when, the entity becomes a party to the contractual provision
of the instrument. Thus, trade receivables are recognized simultaneous to the recognition of the
related receivables are recognized simultaneous to the recognition of the related revenues,
either from sale of goods or rendering of services.
Trade receivables are initially recognized at the transaction price. Transaction price, as defined
by IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, is the amount to which an entity expects
to be entitles in exchange for the transfer of goods and services (par. 47, IFRS 15).
Customers’ credit balances
These are credit balances in accounts receivable resulting from overpayments, sales returns
and allowances and advance payments from customers. These credit balances are classified as
current liabilities and are not offset against the debit balances in other customers’ accounts,
except when the same is not material in which case only the net accounts receivable may be
presented.
Suppliers’ debit balances
These are debit balances in accounts payable resulting from overpayments, purchase returns
and allowances and advance payments to suppliers. These credit balances are classified as
current assets and are not offset against the credit balances in other suppliers’ accounts, except
when the same is not material in which case only the net accounts payable may be presented.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND RELATED REVENUES


Trade receivables on open accounts and are not evidenced by promissory notes or time drafts
are called accounts receivable. These are evidenced by sales invoices, delivery receipts and
other similar documents.
Initial Recognition of Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable, generally being considered as short-term receivables, its fair value is equal
to the face amount or original invoice amount. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables
are not discounted because the effect of discounting is usually immaterial.
Subsequent Recognition of Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are subsequently measured at net realizable value (NRV) meaning the
amount of cash expected to be collected or estimated recoverable amount. Net realizable value
is actually the amortized cost of accounts receivable. In estimating the net realizable value of
trade accounts receivable, the following deductions are made:
a. Allowance for freight charge c. Allowance for sales discount
b. Allowance for sales return d. Allowance for doubtful accounts
FREIGHT CHARGES
Freight charges, or the cost on delivery and transport of goods to its intended location, affects
the balance of the accounts receivable, depending on the type of freight agreements.
Terms Related to Freight Charge
1. Free on Board (FOB) Destination
It means that ownership of the goods purchased is vested in the buyer upon receipt thereof.
The seller shall be responsible for the freight charge up to the point of destination.
2. Free on Board (FOB) FOB Shipping Point
It means that ownership of the goods purchased is vested in buyer upon shipment thereof.
The buyer will pay the transportation charge from the point of shipment to the point of
destination. This is also the presumed freight agreement when the problem is silent.
3. Freight Collect
It means that freight charge on the goods shipped is not yet paid. The common carrier shall
collect the same from the buyer. The freight charge is actually paid by the buyer.
4. Freight Prepaid
It means that freight charge on the goods shipped is already paid by the seller.

SALES DISCOUNTS
Sales discounts are a reduction in the price of a product or service that is offered by the seller.
Entities usually offer two types of discounts:
a. trade discounts
b. cash discounts
Trade discounts, also known as volume or quantity discounts, are means of converting a catalog
price to the prices actually charged to the buyer. These may be used to make price differentials
among different classes of customers, varying quantities, or changes in prices. Such trade
discounts are also used to avoid frequent changes in prices. Such trade discounts are also used
to avoid frequent changes in catalogs and to hide the true invoice price from competitors. They
are commonly quoted in percentage, and at times, series of percentages.
Trade discounts are not recognized for financial accounting purposes. They are deducted from
the list prior to recording the accounts receivable arising from a credit sales transaction. To
state simply, both accounts receivable and the related revenue are always recorded net of trade
discounts.
Illustration 1. Trade Discounts
Assume that on July 16, 2022, RICK FLAG Manufacturing sells merchandise on account with a
list price of P100,000, less trade discounts of 10%, 10% and 5%. The invoice price of the
merchandise is computed as follows:
List Price ₱100,000
Less 10% x 100,000 10,000
List price after 10% trade discount ₱ 90,000
Less 10% x 90,000 9,000
List price after 10% and 10% trade discount ₱ 81,000
Less 5% x 81,000 4,050
Invoice price ₱ 76,950

Alternatively, the invoice price may simply be computed as


₱100,000 x .90 x .90 x .95 ₱ 76,950
Thus, the entry for the sale transaction is:
Accounts Receivable 76,950
Sales 76,950
Cash discounts, or sales discounts from the seller’s point of view, are reductions from the
sales price as an inducement for prompt payment of an account.
They are expressed in terms which may read as: 2/10, n/30 (2% discount is granted if account
is paid within 10 days from the invoice date, gross amount due in 30 days); 3/15, n/60 (3%
discount is granted if account is paid within 15 days from the invoice date, gross amount due
in 60 days).
The timing of the recognition of the cash discounts is based on the method of accounting
adopted by the company for purchases and the related accounts payable. These methods are
as follows:
a. Gross price method
b. Net price method
c. Allowance method

INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING PART 1 6


RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Cities of Mandaluyong and Pasig

Gross Price Method


Under this method, both the account receivable and sales are initially recorded at the gross
sales price with no accounting recognition of the available cash discount until it is actually taken.
When the discount is taken, it is debited to the sales discounts account.
Illustration 2.1. Cash Discounts – Gross Method
On July 16, 2022, WALLER Manufacturing sells merchandising on account with a list price of
P100,000, less trade discounts of 10%, 10% and 5%. The invoice price of the merchandise is
computed earlier as P76,950. assume further that the credit terms were 2/10; n/30, FOB
shipping point and freight paid to the shipper by WALLER Manufacturing amounted to P2,000.
The sale on July 16, 2022 is recorded as follows:
Accounts Receivable 78,950
Sales 76,950
Cash 2,000
The amount charged to accounts receivable includes the freight paid in behalf of the customer.
When goods are shipped FOB shipping point, the title to the goods is transferred from the
seller to the buyer. This may also be termed as FOB shipping point, freight prepaid. Thus,
freight paid by the seller under this term is an account collectible from the buyer.

If the customer pays on or before July 26, 2022, which is within the discount period of 10 days,
the journal entry is:
Cash 77,411
Sales Discount 1,539
Accounts Receivable 78,950
The sales discount is computed based on the invoice price (2% x P76,950), which excludes the
freight charges prepaid by the seller.

When the customer pays after July 26, which is beyond the discount period, the journal entry
is:
Cash 78,950
Accounts Receivable 78,950

While the gross method lacks conceptual validity, it is the simplest and most widely used method
because the cash discount is usually immaterial, and the record keeping is less complicated.
Sales Discounts are reported as deduction from Sales in the profit or loss section of the
statement of comprehensive income.
Under the gross price method, inasmuch as the sales discount is recorded only when taken, it
is possible that sales may have been recorded in one reporting period, but the cash discount
may have been taken by the customer upon payment in the subsequent period.
Thus, if no adjustment would be taken up at year-end, both the sales revenue and accounts
receivable are overstated on the financial statements. To avoid such misstatement, an entry to
set up anticipated sales discounts must be prepared at year-end, as follows:

Sales Discount xxx


Allowance for Sale Discount xxx

INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING PART 1 7


RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Cities of Mandaluyong and Pasig

With the above adjusting entry, sales revenue in the statement of comprehensive income is
reduced by the anticipated sales discount, and accounts receivable in the statement of financial
position is reduced by the allowance for sales discount. This brings the accounts receivable to
an amount potentially collectible in cash. For convenience, the above adjusting entry is reversed
at the beginning of the subsequent accounting period, so that the eventual collection is recorded
by merely debiting cash and crediting accounts receivable at the amount of cash collected.

The gross price method is the most popular because of its convenience. However, it may not
faithfully represent the amount of sales reported in the statement of comprehensive income,
specifically, when significant amounts of receivable are collected beyond the discount period.
The sales account is a mixture of two items of revenues: revenue from sales to customers and
the finance income earned by the entity because of the lapse of the discount period granted.
Net Price Method
Under the net price method, both the accounts receivable and the sales are recorded at the
sales price less the available cash discount (the net price).
Illustration 2.2. Cash Discounts – Net Method
Using the previous illustration, WALLER records the sales transaction on July 16 as follows:
Accounts Receivable 77,411
Sales 75,411
Cash 2,000
The company does not recognize the cash discount if it collects the account within the discount
period. Hence, if WALLER is able to collect the above account on or before July 16, it shall
prepare this entry:
Cash 77,411
Accounts Receivable 77,411
If collection is made beyond the discount period and therefore, the cash discount is not taken
by the customer, the difference between the amount collected (the gross price) ad the amount
originally recorded (the net price) is credited to the Sales Discounts Forfeited (or Sales
Discounts Not Taken) account. If WALLER collects the amount after July 26, it shall prepare the
following entry:
Cash 78,950
Sales Discount 1,539
Accounts Receivable 77,411
The balance of Sales Discounts Forfeited account is reported as other operating income (or
finance income) in profit or loss section on the statement of comprehensive income.
The net method is theoretically superior over the gross method, because it initially recognizes
the accounts receivable at its amortized cost. This method strictly adheres to IFRS 15 which
requires that variable considerations resulting from discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, price
concessions, incentives, penalties or other similar items shall be estimated by the entity to
minimize reversal of revenue in the future when an uncertainty has been resolved.
The net method requires an adjusting entry at year-end for sales discounts forfeited on accounts
receivable that have passed the discount period. The year-end adjusting entry is:
Accounts Receivable xxx
Sales Discounts Forfeited xxx

INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING PART 1 8


RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Cities of Mandaluyong and Pasig

Allowance Method
Under the allowance method, the accounts receivable is recorded at the gross sales price, the
sales revenue is recorded at net amount and the available cash discount is recorded as a credit
in the valuation account, Allowance for Sales Discounts.

Illustration 2.3. Cash Discounts – Allowance Method


If in the previous illustration, WALLER uses the allowance method, it would prepare the following
entry on July 16:
Accounts Receivable 78,950
Sales 75,411
Cash 2,000
Allowance for Sales Discounts 1,539
The sales discount is recognized when it is offered to customer using the account allowance for
sales discount. The collection on or before July 26 is recorded as follows:
Cash 77,411
Allowance for Sales Discounts 1,539
Accounts Receivable 78,950
The collection beyond the discount period is recorded as:
Cash 78,950
Allowance for Sales Discounts 1,539
Accounts Receivable 78,950
Sales Discounts Forfeited 1,539
Under the allowance method, an adjusting entry is made at year-end when the account remains
uncollected and the discount period has already lapsed. The adjustment cancels the related
allowance for sales discount, thus increasing the amortized cost of accounts receivable. Such
year-end adjusting entry is
Allowance for Sales Discounts xxx
Sales Discounts Forfeited xxx
The Allowance for Sales Discount account is a valuation account that reduces accounts
receivable to its amortized cost, and Sales Discounts Forfeited is presented as other operating
income in profit or loss section in the statement of comprehensive income. With appropriate
adjusting entries, the choice of the method used does not make any difference in the amortized
cost of accounts receivable reported in the statement of financial position.
CREDIT CARD SALES
Credit card sales involving a national credit card company result in an accounts receivable in
the name of the card-issuing company. Credit card fees, normally ranging from 1% to 5% of net
credit card sales, reduce the value of the accounts receivable.
The account Credit Card Service Charge would be reported as an operating expense in profit or
loss.
Illustration 3. Credit Card Sales
Assume that WALLER Department Store has Citibank Visa drafts/receipts that total ₱1,200,000
on December 20. The entry to record the Citibank Visa sales would be
Accounts Receivable - Citibank Visa 1,200,000
Sales 1,200,000

INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING PART 1 9


RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Cities of Mandaluyong and Pasig

Citibank subsequently remits to WALLER the corresponding amount of sales reduced by service
fees charged. Assuming a 2% service fees by the bank, which is recognized by WALLER as a
selling expense, the entry in the books of SM is:
Cash 1,176,000
Credit Card Service Charge 24,000
Accounts Receivable 1,200,000
There are some credit card companies that allow the retailer to deposit credit card
drafts/receipts directly to a current account. The bank receives the deposit slip and credit card
drafts/receipts and increases the retailer’s current account for the total amount less the bank
credit card service charge. Under such arrangement, credit card sales of WALLER Department
Store are recorded as:
Cash 1,176,000
Credit Card Service Charge 24,000
Sales 1,200,000
The transaction is, in effect, a cash sale and the retail companies do not establish a receivable
from the card issuing bank. The credit card sales are the responsibility of the bank that issued
the credit card and the customers pay directly to them. Meanwhile, uncollectible from these
transactions are considered as losses for the card issuing bank.
NOTES RECEIVABLE
A note receivable is a formal claim against another that is evidenced by a written promise, called
promissory note, or a written order to pay at a later date, called time draft.
Long term receivables that are interest bearing are initially measured at fair value which is
equal to face value.
Long term receivables that are non-interest bearing are initially measured at fair value which
is equal to present value of all future cash flows discounted using the prevailing market rate of
interest.
A promissory note is an unconditional written agreement to pay to bearer or to the order of the
payee a certain sum of money on a specific or determinable date. A time draft is a written order
(made by the drawer), addressed to the drawee to pay a certain sum of money on a specific or
determinable date. A time draft may be a two-party draft (drawer orders drawee to pay the
drawer) or a three-party draft (drawer orders drawee to pay another party, which is the payee).
Trade notes generally arise from sale involving relatively high peso amounts where the buyer
wants to extend payment period beyond the usual credit period. Likewise, sellers sometimes
request notes from customers whose open accounts have become past due.
A note or draft that provides for the payment of interest for the period between the issuance
date and the due date is called an interest-bearing note. On the date of the receipt of the note,
the present value of an interest-bearing note, which bears a realistic interest rate, is equal to its
face value. Subsequent to the date of the note or the draft, the present value of an interest-
bearing note is equal to its face value plus accrued interest.
Dishonored Notes
When a promissory note matures and it is not paid, it is said to be dishonored. Dishonored
notes shall be removed from notes receivable account and transferred to accounts receivable
account at an amount to include, if any, interest and other charges.

INITIAL RECOGNITION FOR NOTES RECEIVABLE


Following IFRS 9, a note receivable is initially recognized when the entity becomes a party to
the contractual provision of the instrument, that is when the entity becomes the payee of the
note issued by the maker. A note is initially recognized at the transaction price based on the
circumstance that gives rise to the receipt of the note, which is any of the following:
a. The amount of cash given up in exchange for the note;
b. the fair value of the non-cash consideration given up in exchange for the note, or if such
fair value cannot be practically determined, the fair value of the note received, which is the
discontinued cash flow of future collections, based on an implicit interest rate.
Interest-Bearing Notes Receivable
The fair value of an interest-bearing note is generally its face value, unless it is clear that the
interest rate stated in the note does not reflect a realistic interest rate.

Illustration 4. Interest-Bearing Notes Receivable


Assume the following selected transactions completed by WEASEL Corporation during 2022:
Aug. 5 Received a 60-day, 9%, P12,000 promissory note from X Company for
merchandise sold.
Oct. 4 Collected from X Company in settlement of its note dated August 5.
10 Received a 30-day, 12%, P16,000 promissory note from Y Company in
settlement of an overdue account.
Nov. 6 Received a 120-day, 12%, P24,000 promissory note form Z Company in
settlement of an account.
9 Y Company dishonored its note on maturity date.
30 Collected the amount due from Y Company on account of its overdue note. An
additional charge for interest at 12% on maturity value from maturity date is also
collected.
Dec. 31 Year-end adjustments are made.
The following are the journal entries for the given transactions:

Interest income 440
I = 24,000 x 12% x 55/360*

*The computations of interest in the foregoing entries are based on a 360-day year.

To qualify for reporting as Notes Receivable, the note must be negotiable; that is it must be
payable to order or bearer and must not yet be due. Thus, a dishonored note receivable does
not qualify to be reported as Notes Receivable in the statement of financial position.
Overdue notes from customers, together with accrued interest thereon are generally reclassified
as accounts receivable. Other descriptive account titles, such as Dishonored Notes Receivable
or Overdue Notes Receivable, may also be used.
Noninterest-bearing Notes
When a note makes no provision for interest, it is said to be non-interest-bearing or zero-
interest bearing. However, a non-interest-bearing note does not necessarily mean that there is
no interest accruing on the receivable. The promissory note is simply written in a form where
the face value already includes am imputed interest for the term of the note.
When a non-interest-bearing note is exchanged solely for cash and no other rights or privileges
are exchanged, the present value or amortized cost of the note on the date it is received is equal
to the cash proceeds exchanged. If a non-interest-bearing note is exchanged for property,
goods, or services, the transaction is recorded at the fair value of the gods or services received,
unless the fair value of the note is more clearly determinable. When neither fair value is
practicably determinable, an imputed rate is used to determine the note’s present value.
When a note bears an interest rate that is significantly different from prevailing interest rate
for similar notes, or when the face value of the note is significantly different from the market
value of the consideration given up in exchange for the note, the interest rate stated on its face
is considered to be unrealistic. The amortized cost of the note on the date it is received is equal
to the present value of principal and interest payments discounted at the imputed interest rate,
which should approximate the market rate of interest for similar instruments.
The difference between the face amount of the note and its present value is recorded as discount
or premium. The excess of the face value of the note over its present value is credited to
Discount on Notes Receivable, while the excess of the present value of the note over its face
value is charged to Premium on Notes Receivable.
The discount or premium is amortized to interest revenue over the term of the note using the
effective interest method. Any unamortized discount is deducted from the ledger balance of the
Notes Receivable, and any unamortized premium is added to the balance of the Notes
Receivable, to arrive at the amortized cost to be presented in the statement of financial position.
To illustrate the difference in accounting for interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing non-trade
notes receivable, consider the following independent cases.

accumulated depreciation of ₱450,000. The company receives as consideration ₱100,000 cash
and a 15% interest bearing note for ₱400,0000 due in December 31, 2024. the interest on the
note is payable annually every December 31. the prevailing rate of interest for a note of this
type is 15%.

Case 4: Long-Term Installment Note Receivable (Stated Interest Rate is Lower than the
Market Rate of Interest)

On January 1, 2022, JAVELIN Manufacturing sold a tract of land that originally cost ₱400,000.
JAVELIN received a ₱600,000 note as payment for the land. The note is payable in three annual
installments of ₱200,000 beginning December 31, 2022 plus interest at the rate of 4% based on
the outstanding balance. On January 1, 2022, the prevailing rate of interest for a similar
obligation is 10%.
If a cash for the land is determinable at the date of the sale, the cash price is the selling price
and, consequently, the present value of the note. Thus, an imputed interest rate shall be
computed. Otherwise, the selling price is the fair value of the note, which is derived by
discounting all future collections (principal and interest) using the prevailing interest rate for
similar notes, as hereby illustrated. (Round off PV factors to 5 decimal places)

Case 5: Long-Term Installment Note Receivable (Stated Interest Rate is Higher than the
Market Rate of Interest)
On January 1, 2022, JAVELIN Manufacturing sold a tract of land that originally cost P400,000.
JAVELIN received a P600,000 note as payment for this transaction. The note is payable in three
annual installments of P200,00 beginning December 31, 2022 plus interest at the rate of 14%
based on the outstanding balance. On January 1, 2022, the prevailing rate of interest for a similar
obligation is 10%.
The above case is similar to Case 4, except that the rate stated on the face of note exceeds the
market rate of interest. The computed amortized cost at the date of initial recognition would
result to an amount higher than the face of the note, resulting in a premium on notes receivable.

LOAN RECEIVABLE
It is a financial asset arising from loan granted by bank or other financial institution to a borrower
or client.
INITIAL MEASUREMENT
Loan receivable should be initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. In other words,
the following items should be considered in the initial measurement of loans receivable which
is directly related in granting a loan to a customer or borrower:
1. Origination Fees are fees charged by the bank against the borrower for the creation of the
loan. It includes compensation for activities such as evaluating the borrower’s financial
condition, evaluating guarantees, collateral and other security, negotiating the terms of the
loan, preparing and processing documents and closing the loan transaction.
2. Direct Origination Costs are transaction costs that are directly attributable to the loan
receivable. It should be included in the initial measurement of the loan receivable. Activities
that result in direct origination cost include the following:
• Evaluating the borrower’s financial condition
• Evaluating guarantees, collateral and other security
• Negotiating the terms of the loan
• Preparing and processing loan documents
• Closing and approving the loan transaction
Indirect origination costs should be treated as outright expense.
3. Origination fees received from borrower are recognized as unearned interest income and
amortized over term of the loan. If the origination fees are not chargeable against the
borrower, the fees are known as direct origination costs. Direct Origination Costs are
deferred and also amortized over the term of the loan.
If the origination fees is greater than direct origination costs, then unearned interest income
and the amortization will increase interest income
If the origination fees is less than direct origination costs, the difference shall be charged to
“Direct Origination Costs” and the amortization will decrease interest income

SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT
Loan receivable is subsequently measured at amortized cost using effective interest method. In
cases of effects of transaction costs, since loans receivable frequently involves transaction cost,
a new effective rate should be computed through interpolation.

Illustration 6. Loans Receivable and Interpolation


On January 1, 2022, BLACKGUARD COMPANY granted a 4-year loan to MONGAL INC. in the
amount of ₱ 5,000,000. The company incurs Php 200,000 of direct loan origination cost and
receives nonrefundable origination fees amounting to Php 500,000 the stated interest rate is
10% payable annually every December 31.
To determine the present value of the loan granted, all of the transaction costs must be first
considered:
Principal 5,000,000
Add: Direct origination costs 200,000
Less: Origination fees received (500,000)
Initial present value of the loan 4,700,000

Considering the present value computed, by interpolation, a new effective rate must be used.
Using trial and error, we will use 11%. (Note: Round off PV factors to four decimal places.)

Present value of principal (5M x .6587) 3,293,500


Add: Present value of interest payments (5M x 10% x 3.1024) 1,551,200
Total present value at 11% 4,844,700

The present value of the rate must be higher than the net proceeds while the present value of
the higher rate must be lower than the proceeds. Using trial and error, we will use another rate,
this time we use 12%. (Note: Round off PV factors to four decimal places.)

Present value of principal (5M x .6355) 3,177,500


Add: Present value of interest payments (5M x 10% x 3.0373) 1,518,650
Total present value at 12% 4,696,150

This time, even though 12% does not match the ₱4,700,000 present value, we can simplify the
determination of the rate by interpolating the exact interest rate.

MEASUREMENT SUBSEQUENT TO INITIAL RECOGNITION


Notes and accounts receivable meet the requirements in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments for the
financial assets to be classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost/ the two conditions
are:
a. the financial asset is held within the enterprise’s business model whose objective is to hold
assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
b. the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that
are solely payments of principal and interest.

The amortized cost of receivables is its principal amount plus accrued interest and any
unamortized premium and minus the unamortized discount using the effective interest method,
and minus any reduction (directly or through the use of an allowance account) for impairment
or uncollectibility.
Thus, amortized cost of notes receivable, is the ledger balance of Notes Receivable account
(plus any accrued interest receivable, if interest bearing) plus any remaining balance of Premium
on Notes Receivable, or in the case of discount, minus any remaining balance of Discount on
Notes Receivable. In case some portion of the receivable is assessed to be impaired, the amount
believed to be uncollectible shall also be deducted.
Accounts receivable that are granted within the entity’s usual credit terms are not generally
discounted to their present value, because any amount of the discount or interest is usually
immaterial.
Almost invariably, some receivables will prove uncollectible, such that an amount of account or
notes receivable must be recognized as expense in profit or loss. This is called impairment loss,
or more popularly called Doubtful Accounts expense or bad debts expense.
There are two methods of accounting for Doubtful Accounts: the direct write-off method and
the allowance method.
DIRECT WRITE-OFF METHOD
The direct write-off method recognizes impairment loss or bad debts expense by crediting
directly the receivables account. The entry to recognize impairment on accounts receivable is

Bad Debts Expense (or Doubtful Accounts


Expense or Impairment Loss) xxx
Accounts Receivable (or Notes Receivable) xxx
Some accounts, which have been previously written off are unexpectedly recovered or collected.
In such a case, the entries to recover an account require its reinstatement and the collection
recorded in the usual manner. Thus, to record recovery under the direct-write off method, the
entries are:
Accounts Receivable xxx
Bad Debts Recovery (or Recovery of Previous
Impairment of Receivable xxx

Cash xxx
Accounts Receivable xxx

INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING PART 1 27


RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Cities of Mandaluyong and Pasig

ALLOWANCE METHOD
The direct write-off method is the only method allowed for income tax purposes. The allowance
method, on the other hand, requires the use of valuation account for the receivables. This
method recognizes the impairment of receivables bay a charge to Bad Debts Expense or
Impairment Loss and a credit to the allowance account. Thus, the entry to recognize impairment
is:
Bad Debts Expense xxx
Allowance for Bad Debts xxx
The resulting balance of allowance for bad debts is deducted from accounts or notes receivable
to arrive at its amortized cost. When an account considered to be definitely uncollectible is
written off, the entry is
Allowance for Bad Debts xxx
Accounts Receivable xxx
When an account previously written off is recovered, the account should be reinstated, and
the collection should be recorded. Thus, the entries for the recovery are

Accounts Receivable xxx


Allowance for Bad Debts xxx

Cash xxx
Accounts Receivable xxx

Under the allowance method, the write-off of an uncollectible account does not change the net
amount of accounts receivable, nor does it affect profit or loss.

Illustration 7. Subsequent Recognition

On April 1, 2022, TDK Manufacturing wrote off an account of its customer, Mr. X in the amount
of P25,000 which has been overdue for several years now. Subsequently, on July 5, 2022, TDK
recovered and collected the account of Mr. X. Journal entries for the write off and subsequent
recovery of the account are as follows:

2022
Apr. 1 Allowance for Bad Debts 25,000
Accounts Receivable 25,000
Write off of an uncollectible account

Reinstatement of the account of Mr. X previously
written off
2023
Dec. 31 Cash 25,000

Collection of an account recovered
In some cases, the allowance for bad debts may result in a debit balance before year-end
adjustment. This may indicate that there have been excessive write-offs during the period and
the previous estimate of the company may not be adequate.

INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING PART 1 28


RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Cities of Mandaluyong and Pasig

In such a case, the company has to review the basis of estimating its Doubtful Accounts and
should bring its Doubtful Accounts to the appropriate balance at year-end based in the most
reasonable estimate. An error in making such previous estimates is not considered an
accounting error and changing the basis for estimating bad debts is not considered as a change
in accounting policy. Both are treated as charge in accounting estimates and bringing the
allowance account to its appropriate balance at year-end would be considered as an adjustment
to the current year’s bad debts expense.
Debit Balance in Allowance Account
A debit balance in the allowance account before adjustment should not, however, lead to a
conclusion that the previous estimate of the company is always inadequate, as the accounts
that have been written off during the period may also arise from the currents year’s sales. It is
merely that the entry for the write off is prepared ahead of the year-end entry to provide for bad
debts expense. At the end of the year. After the adjusting entry is prepared, the allowance
account should be brought to a credit balance that reasonably brings the accounts receivable to
its recoverable amount.
ESTIMATION METHODS OF DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
In determining the amount of provision of doubtful accounts, there are three methods of
estimating doubtful accounts, namely:
1. Aging the accounts receivable or “statement of financial position approach”
2. Percent of accounts receivable or also “statement of financial position approach”
3. Percent of sales or “income statement approach”

AGING OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE


It involves an analysis where the accounts are classified into not due or past due. The allowance
is determined by total of each classification by the rate or percent of loss experienced by the
entity for each category. The amount computed by aging of accounts receivable represents the
required allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of the period. It tests the reasonableness
of the allowance.
Here is a sample aging schedule to arrive at the required allowance for doubtful accounts:
Classification AR Balance Percentage Allowance
Uncollectible
0-30 days category xxx xxx xxx
31-60 days category xxx xxx xxx
Over 180 days category xxx xxx xxx
Required allowance on doubtful accounts xxx xxx

PERCENT OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE


A certain rate is multiplied by the open accounts at the end of the period in order to get the
required allowance balance. The rate used is usually determined from past experience of the
entity. This procedure has the advantage of presenting the accounts receivable at estimated net
realizable value.
Accounts receivable xxx
Multiply by percentage of uncollectible xxx
Required allowance for doubtful accounts xxx

INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING PART 1 29


RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Cities of Mandaluyong and Pasig

PERCENT OF SALES
The amount of sales for the year is multiplied by a certain rate to get the doubtful account
expense. The rate may be applied on credit sales or total sales. The rate to be used is computed
by dividing the bad debt losses in prior years by the charge sales of prior years.
Sales, net sales, or net credit sales xxx
Multiply by percentage of uncollectible xxx
Bad Debts Expense xxx

Percentage of accounts receivable and percentage of sales method can be considered


“collective assessment approach” of measuring impairment while aging method is an “individual
assessment approach”
Illustration 9. Allowance Estimation
On December 31, 2022, POLKADOTMAN Corp. showed the following ledger balances:
Accounts Receivable ₱4,000,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 120,000
An aging of accounts receivable indicates the following:
Age classification Balance Probability of non-collection
Less than 30 days 2,800,000 2%
31-90 days 700,000 10%
91-120 days 300,000 20%
More than 120 days 200,000 40%
After review of collectability, POLKADOTMAN Corp. determined that ₱20,000 of accounts in the
age category “more than 120 days” are believed to be uncollectible and should be written off.
The 30% provision for non-collectability shall be applied on the remaining accounts in the same
age category (The balance of ₱120,000 in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was recognized
based on stage 1, that is, 12-month credit loss expectation of the entity at the date of initial
recognition of the receivables).
Based on the review of the collectability, the required allowance and the impairment loss to be
recognized on the accounts receivable are computed as follows:
2,800,000 x 2% = ₱ 56,000
700,000 x 10% = 70,000
300,000 x 20% = 60,000

IFRS 9 states that there is rebuttable presumption that there is increase in the credit risk for a
financial asset, once it becomes overdue for more than 30 days. As can be observed in the
above example, the older is the age of the receivable, the higher s its credit risk and the higher
is the probability that it may not be collected.
Groupings based on some other similar characteristics may also be made in assessing as to
whether there is an increase in the credit risk of the receivables. Factors such as the industry
to which the customer belongs, the geographical location of the customer and trade regulations
may also be considered in assessing the credit risk.
IMPAIRMENT OF LOANS AND RECEIVABLES
IFRS 9 requires recognition of impairment losses on a forward-looking basis, which means that
impairment loss is recognized before the occurrence of any credit event. These impairment
losses are referred to as expected credit losses (ECL).
IFRS 9 sets out three approaches to impairment:
1. General approach
2. Simplified approach (for certain trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables)
3. Specific approach (for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets)
GENERAL APPROACH
The general IFRS 9 approach to impairment follows a three-stage model (sometimes referred
to as three-bucket model):
Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3
Trigger No significant increase Significant increase in Credit-impaired
in credit risk since initial credit risk
recognition
ECL 12-month ECL Lifetime ECL Lifetime ECL
Effective EIR on gross carrying EIR on gross carrying EIR on amortized cost
Interest Rate amount (without ECL) amount (without ECL) (with ECL)
(EIR) – Interest
Revenue

Under IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, credit risk is the risk that one party to a
financial instrument will cause a loss for the other party by failing to pay the obligation.
Under IFRS 9, a financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have occurred
and have a significant impact on the expected future cash flows of the financial asset. It includes
observable data that has come to the attention of the holder of a financial asset about the
following events:
• Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
• A breach of contract, such as a default or past-due event;
• The lenders for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty
granted the borrower a concession that would not otherwise be considered;
• It becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial
reorganization;
• The disappearance of an active market for the financial asset because of financial difficulties;
or
• The purchase or origination of a financial asset at a deep discount that reflects incurred
credit losses.

STAGE 1: 12-MONTH ECL
On January 1, 2022, KATANA Corp. lends STARRO Corp. P100,000. STARRO will repay the loan
after 5 years at an effective rate of 8% with interest payable every December 31. Based on the
credit information available for STARRO Corp. as of December 31, 2022, KATANA determined
that the probability of default for the next 12 months is 2% and expected to collect only 90% of
the principal.

SIMPLIFIED APPROACH
Simplified approach is applicable for certain trade receivables, contract assets and lease
receivables. In this approach, loss rate approach is most suitable for non-financial entities as it
does not require sophisticated credit risk management systems in place. Under a loss rate
approach, lifetime ECL are calculated using a provision matrix which can be constructed using
the following steps:
1. Receivables are segmented based different credit loss patterns (e.g., based on customer
type, product type, geographical region, collateral, etc.)
2. Ageing of receivables is prepared.
3. Historical Patterns are calculated and treated as starting point in estimating loss rate.
4. Historical data is adjusted to take into account reasonable and supportable information that
is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about current conditions and
forecasts of future economic conditions.
The best example for application of simplified approach is estimating doubtful accounting using
ageing of receivables.

INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING PART 1 34


RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Cities of Mandaluyong and Pasig

SPECIFIC APPROACH
IFRS 9 sets out at a specific approach for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial
assets. For these assets, the entity recognized only the cumulative changes in lifetime ECL since
initial recognition of such an asset. Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset is an
asset that is credit-impaired on initial recognition.
It is important to note that an asset is not credit-impaired merely because it has high credit risk
at initial recognition.
RECEIVABLE FINANCING

Receivable financing is the financial flexibility or capability of an entity to raise money out of its
receivables.
Companies requiring cash to finance its operational needs may find it necessary or desirable to
accelerate cash inflows from receivables by either selling its receivables or using them as
collateral for loan arrangements.
The transfer of receivables to another party to obtain cash may or may not require derecognition
of receivables. The transferor of the receivable shall evaluate whether or not it has transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
Various types of arrangements may be used to secure immediate cash from receivables even
before their maturity dates. If the risks and rewards of ownership from the receivables are not
substantially transferred, the transfer is recorded as secured borrowing; otherwise, the
transaction is recorded as a derecognition of the receivable, recognizing either gain or loss.

The following are the different methods of receivable financing:


I. Secured Borrowing
• Pledging
• Assignment
• Discounting of notes receivable with recourse
II. Sale of Receivables
• Discounting of notes receivable without recourse
• Factoring

PLEDGING / HYPOTHECATING OF RECEIVABLES


Pledging or hypothecating refers to the use of receivables as collateral for a loan. It is otherwise
known as general assignment of accounts receivable, since all receivables are used as
collateral for a loan.
A pledge of accounts receivable involves no special accounting problems. The only entry
required in the books would record the loan obtained from the finance company or bank by
debiting Cash (and Discount on notes payable or Interest expense, if discounted) and
crediting Notes Payable for the amount of the loan.
The accounts receivable balance is not, in any manner, affected by the pledging.
If at the reporting date, there is still a financing liability that is secured by receivables, an entity
shall disclose the carrying amount of the receivables pledged as collateral for the loan and the
significant terms and conditions relating to the pledge.

Illustration 10. Pledging


To illustrate, assume that on December 1, 2022, ECONOMOS Manufacturing borrowed
P500,000 from Manila Bank by issuing a one-year note, which the bank discounted at 12%.
Accounts receivable totaling P1,200,000, are pledged to secure the loan. Entries relating to the
notes payable, including year-end adjustments follow (assume the company uses a calendar
year as its accounting year.)

No entry is made in the books pertaining to the pledged accounts. However. A disclosure thereof
is required in the notes to financial statements.
ASSIGNMENT OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Assignment of accounts receivable is a more formal borrowing arrangement in which specific
receivables are identified and used as security for a loan. It is a more formal type of pledging
accounts receivable. This is also known as specific assignment of accounts receivable.

The borrower (assignor) pledges the specifically described receivables to a lender (assignee)
and signs a promissory note. The assignor retains the credit risks and continues collection
efforts. In most cases, customers are not notified of the assignment and they make payments
directly to the assignor (non-notification basis) and the assignor remits the collection of the
assignee.
Assignment is secured borrowing evidenced by a financing agreement and a promissory note
both of which the assignor signs.

INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING PART 1 36


RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Cities of Mandaluyong and Pasig

Assignment may be done either on a non-notification or notification basis.


1. Non-notification basis
Customers are not informed that their accounts have been assigned. The customer
continues to make payments to the assignor, who in turn remits the collection to assignee.
2. Notification basis
Customers are notified to make payments directly to the assignee.
The assignee usually charges interest for the loan that it makes and required a service or
financing charge or commission for the assignment agreement.
In disclosing the specifically assigned accounts receivable, the assignor should report them
as part of accounts receivable with a disclosure of the amount assigned. Similar to general
assignment of accounts receivable, any significant terms and conditions relating to the
assignment should be disclosed.

ECONOMOS Manufacturing entered into an assignment arrangement with a financial institution
whereby the assignee would advance 80% of all accounts assigned less a ₱2,000 service charge.
During the year, ₱400,000 of accounts receivable were assigned; ₱250,000 collections were
made on outstanding accounts which were remitted to the financial institution to apply first to
₱3,5000 interest and the balance to principal. Sales returns and allowances on assigned
accounts amounted to ₱5,000.

The entry at the date of the assignment debiting Accounts Receivable Assigned and crediting
Accounts Receivable does not affect the total balance of Accounts Receivable. The entry merely
discloses the amount of Account receivable that has been assigned. At the end of the year,
accounts receivable assigned in the amount of ₱145,000 is included in the one-line caption
Trade and Other-Receivables under current assets. On the other hand. Notes Payable – Finance
Company balance is reported under current liabilities.
In the notes to the financial statements, the company should disclose its equity in assigned
accounts for the net amount of ₱71,500 (Accounts receivable assigned balance, ₱145,000 less
notes payable to finance company balance ₱73,500).
Assume that during the year 2022, P100,000 of the assigned accounts were collected and that
the balance due and additional interest charge of P935 were remitted to the finance company.
The entries are:

In some instances, the customers are instructed to make payments to the assignee (notification
basis), and the assignee informs the assignor of the amount collected. In such cases , the
finance company applies the amount collected from customers to the payment of loan and
interest. Collection in excess of the balance of the loan and interest shall be remitted to the
assignor.
Illustration 11.2. Assignment – Non-notification Basis
To illustrate, assume the same information for ECONOMOS Manufacturing, except that the

DISCOUNTING OF NOTES RECEIVABLE


By discounting a note receivable, an entity is endorsing a promissory note to bank or a financing
company, the latter advancing the maturity value of the note less a charge called discount. A
company that discounts a customer’s note receivable at the bank is in essence selling the note
to the bank with recourse obligation. Because the endorsing company still has a continuing
involvement on the discounted note, the transaction does not qualify for derecognition of
receivable.
The following terms and computations are necessary relating to discounting of notes receivable:
1. Principal is the amount stated on the face of the note, also called the face value.
2. Interest is the amount of interest for the entire term of note, computed as:
Interest = Principal x Interest rate x Term
3. Maturity date is the date when the note is due and payable.
4. Maturity value is the total amount due on the note at maturity date, computed as principal
plus interest. If the note is non-interest bearing, then its maturity value is equal to its
principal or face value.
5. Discount rate is the rate of interest used by bank in computing discount.
6. Discount period is the period of time remaining on the term of the note, meaning, the period
from the date of discounting to maturity date.
7. Discount is the amount of interest earned by the bank computed as:
Discount = Maturity x Bank discount rate x Discount period
8. Proceeds is the discounted value of the note received by the endorser of the note from the
bank, computed as:
Proceeds = Maturity value - discount
To discount the note, the payee must endorse it. Thus, legally the payee becomes endorser,
and the bank becomes endorsee.
Endorsement may be:
A. Discounting with Recourse
Endorser shall pay the endorsee if the maker dishonors the note. This is the contingent or
secondary liability of the endorser. It can be accounted as:
1. Conditional sale of note receivable recognizing a contingent liability.
Cash (net proceeds) xxx
Loss on note receivable discounting (CA > net proceeds) xxx
Note Receivable Discounted (principal) xxx
Interest Income xxx
Gain on note receivable discounting (CA < net proceeds) xxx
Notes Receivable Discounted account is deducted from total notes receivable when
preparing BS with disclosure of contingent liability.
2. Secured borrowing (note receivable is not derecognized but accounting liability is
recorded at an amount equal to the face amount of the note receivable discounted).
There is no gain or loss on discounting.
Cash (net proceeds) xxx
Interest expense xxx
Liability for note receivable discounted (principal) xxx
Interest Income xxx

INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING PART 1 40


RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Cities of Mandaluyong and Pasig

B. Without Recourse
Endorser avoids future liability even if the maker refuses to pay the endorsee on the date
of maturity. The sale of notes receivable is absolute and therefore there is no contingent
liability.
If silent, assume endorsement with recourse.
Illustration 12. Discounting
On December 21, 2022, ECONOMOS Manufacturing discounted the 60-day, 15%, P800,000 note
from a customer at BPI. The note is dated December 1 and the bank’s discount rate is 18%.
Computations and entries pertaining to the note discounted are as follows (assume a 360-day
year):

Principal ₱ 800,000
Add: Interest (P800,000 x 15% x 60/360) 20,000
Maturity Value ₱ 820,000
Less: Discount (P820,000 x 18% x 40/360) 16,400
Proceeds ₱ 803,600

HAWKING Manufacturing shall prepare this entry on the date of discounting.


2022
Dec. 21 Cash 803,600
Liability on Discounted Notes 803,600

The credit to the liability account indicates that the note is discounted with recourse, ECONOMOS
Manufacturing is still liable to financing company for the note, in case the maker fails to pay it
on maturity date. Hence, the transfer is not treated as derecognition, as the company guarantees
to compensate the financial institution for credit losses that may occur.
If the company adopts the calendar year as its reporting period, adjustments shall be made at
year-end to accrue the interest earned on the notes receivable and the interest incurred on the
discounted notes.

2022
Dec. 31 Interest Receivable 10,000
Interest Income 10,000
800,000 x 15% x 30/360

Interest Expense 803,600


Interest Payable 803,600
164,000 x 10/40

The accrued interest on the notes receivable runs from the date of the note (December 1) up
to the end of the reporting period. The debit to interest expense is the amount of discount
allocated to the period from the date of discounting (December 21) up to the end of the reporting
period.
Assuming that the note matures without notice of protest, ECONOMOS Manufacturing shall
cancel both the assets (Notes Receivable and Interest Receivable) and the liability (Liability on
Discounted Notes) in its books with the following entry:

Interest Income 10,000

800,000 x 15% x 30/360
Additional interest expense and interest revenue are recognized from January 1 to January 30
(based on the remaining number of days in the discount period).
When the customer fails to pay on maturity date, ECONOMOS Manufacturing will be obliged to
pay the maturity value of the note plus protect fees and other bank charges. The total amount
paid by ECONOMOS on account of the discounted note is to be charged to the amount of the
maker of the note. Assuming that in the foregoing example the bank charged protest fees and
other charges of P5,000, ECONOMOS will prepare the following entries:

2023
Jan. 30 Liability on Discounted Notes 803,600
Interest Expense (16,400 – 4,100) 12,300
Interest Payable* 4,100

Interest Income 10,000
Notes Receivable 800,000
800,000 x 15% x 30/360
Accounts Receivable 825,000
Cash 825,000
Payment of the maturity value and protest fees
to the bank

Discounting of Notes Receivable Without Recourse


If discounting of a note is on a without recourse basis, the endorser is relieved of the
responsibility for the note that is dishonored on maturity. The discounting is, therefore, treated
as a sale and the note would qualify for derecognition. In such a case, no liability on discounted
note is recorded by the seller, and the entries, in the previous example would be modified as
follows:
2022
Dec. 31 Interest Receivable 6,667
Interest Income 6,667
800,000 x 15% x 20/360

Cash 803,600
Loss on Sale of Notes Receivable 3,067
Interest Receivable 6,667
Notes Receivable 800,000

FACTORING
Factoring is the transfer of receivables without recourse, and is therefore, an outright sale of
receivables. The factor company (finance company) assumes the risk of collection and generally
handles the billing and collection function. As in any sale of assts, a gain or loss is recognized
for the difference between the proceeds received and the net carrying amount of the receivables
factored.
FORMS OF FACTORING:
1. Casual Factoring
If an entity finds itself in a critical cash position, it may be forced to factor some or all of its
accounts receivable at a substantial discount to a bank or a finance entity to obtain the much-
needed cash.
2. Factoring as a continuing agreement
A finance entity purchases all of the accounts receivable of a certain entity. In this set up,
before a merchandise is shipped to a customer, the selling entity requests the factor’s credit
approval. If it is approved, the account is sold immediately to the factor after shipment of the
goods. The factor assumes the credit and collection function. The factor charges a
commission or factoring fee for its services of credit approval, billing, collecting and
assuming uncollectible factored accounts.
If the factor retains a portion of the purchase price to cover probable sales discounts, returns,
and allowances (called factor’s holdback) such amount is charged to a “Receivable from
Factor” account. Subsequent discounts, returns and allowances are credited to this account.
The final settlement of the factor’s holdback is made after the factored receivables have been
fully collected.
Illustration 13. Factoring
During December, ECONOMOS Corp. sold goods priced at P200,000 with credit terms of n/30.
These were immediately factored to a finance company. The factoring fee was 10% of the
receivables purchased. The factor’s holdback is 5% of the purchase price.

The entry to record the factoring is as follows:


Cash 171,000
Loss from Factoring 20,000
Receivable from Factor 9,000
Accounts Receivable 200,000

Gross amount of receivables factored ₱ 200,000


Less: Factoring fee (10% x 200,000) 20,000
Factor’s holdback (5% x 180,000) 9,000 29,000
Net cash received from factoring ₱ 171,000
When customers whose accounts were factored make returns, the transaction is recorded as:
Sales Returns and Allowances 10,000
Receivable from Factor 10,000
When all the receivables factored are collected and no returns, discounts or allowances are
allowed, final settlement with the factor is recorded as:
Cash 9,000
Receivable from Factor 9,000

on the face of the statement of financial position as one line item called trade and other
receivables.

DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS:
1. An entity shall disclose the following in its financial statements (based on IFRS 7 Financial
Instruments: Disclosures):
I. information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate the significance of
receivables for its financial position and performance, including significant terms and
conditions that may affect the amount, timing, and certainty of future cash flows;
II. the accounting policy and method adopted including the criteria for recognition and the
basis of measurement applied;
III. information about its exposure to credit risk including the amount that best represents
its maximum credit risk exposure at the end of the reporting period, without taking
account of the fair value of any collateral, in the event of other parties failing to perform
their obligations and including significant concentrations of credit risks; and
IV. information about its exposure to interest rate risk including contractual repricing or
maturity date whichever dates are earlier and including effective interest rates, when
applicable.
2. For accounts receivable pledged or assigned and notes receivable discounted, the entity
shall disclose the following:
a) the nature of the risks and rewards of ownership to which the entity remains exposed;
b) the carrying amount of financial assets it has pledged as collateral for liabilities or
contingent liabilities; and
c) the terms and conditions relating to its pledge.
3. When an entity holds collateral and is permitted to sell or repledge the collateral in the
absence of default by the owner of the collateral, it shall disclose:
i. the fair value of the collateral held;
ii. the fair value of any such collateral sold or repledged, and whether the entity has an
obligation to return it; and

impairments of a similar account used to record a collective impairment rather than directly
reducing the carrying amount of the asset, it shall disclose a reconciliation of changes in
that account during the period.

THEORIES: TRUE or FALSE. Read the statements below and determine if the following statement
is true or false.

1. Receivables are claims that are expected to be settled by receipt of cash or another financial
asset from another entity, but not both.

2. Trade receivables are recognized simultaneously with the recognition of related revenue
when the criteria for revenue recognition are met.

3. Accounts receivable is always recorded gross of trade discounts but net of cash discounts.

4. Allowance for doubtful accounts/expected credit losses could have a debit balance during a
period due to excessive write-offs. This can be fixed or adjusted at year-end through
provision of doubtful accounts expense for the year.

5. Cash flows attributable to short-term notes receivable are not discounted because the
difference between the present value and the face amount is not material.

6. When using the allowance method of accounting for doubtful accounts, the effect of writing
off an uncollected account on the accounts receivable is a decrease on the balance and on
the allowance for doubtful accounts is also a decrease on the balance.

7. An entity received a 60-day, 10% note for ₱10,000 on April 16, 2023. The entity should
record a total receivable due of ₱10,250 on June 16, 2023.

8. In loans receivables, all transaction costs such as direct origination costs, indirect
origination costs and origination fees shall be added to the carrying amount of the loan.

9. If the face amount of the note is greater than the present value of note, there is a discount
on notes receivable.

10. The amortization of premium on notes receivable that is recognized shall be an addition to
interest income.

11. A 240-day, 6% interest bearing note was discounted at a bank at 8% after being held for
150 days. The proceeds received from the bank upon discounting would be maturity value
less the discount at 8% for 150 days.

12. An entity factored accounts receivable without recourse to a bank. The Company received
cash as a result of this transaction which is a bank loan to be repaid by the proceeds from
the company’s accounts receivable.
