Excerpt: ... Introduction to Financial Accounting Chapter 7, Module 5 Slide 1 CHAPTER 1 MODULE Chapter 7 Module1 5 Chapter 7 Module 5 AMIS 211 Introduction to Financial Accounting Professor Marc Smith Hi everyone. Welcome back. Just as a refresher before we jump into the key point of this Module. Because I know that this is tough-this is not an easy topic. This tends to be one of the more challenging topics that we cover. You really want to keep in mind that your Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is keeping track of two (2) specific items: 1) On the increase-or credit side-it is keeping track of your bad debt expense estimates that you have made. 2) On the decrease-or debit side-it is keeping track of the actual write-offs that you have had. So, at any point in time, you can look at that account. If the balance is on the credit side, we have written off less than we had thought. If the balance is on the debit side, we have written off more than we had estimated that we would write-off. AMIS 211 Professor ...

There are two methods that could be used to account for uncollectible accounts (bad debts). They are: (1) the Allowance Method and (2) the Direct Write-Off Method. The Direct Write-Off Method is appropriate only if the amount of uncollectibles is not material. An examination of annual reports would most likely show that most all large and medium-sized companies use the Allowance Method. The Direct Write-Off Method will be presented later in these notes.

Excerpt: ... nciple, the allowance method records bad debt expense in the same period in which the credit was granted and the sale was made. Using the allowance method, bad debt expense is recognized in the period in which the sale related to the uncollectible account was recorded. The write-off of bad debts using the allowance method decreases the asset accounts receivable and the contra asset allowance for doubtful accounts by the same amount. As a consequence, (a) net income is unaffected and (b) accounts receivable, net, is unaffected. 2. 7. 8. 9. . EXERCISES E61. Sales revenue ($1,000 + $900 + $500) .

Excerpt: ... ORIE 350 Lecture Eight February 20, 2007 Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable account is treated as a current asset. We want to be sure to record this asset at its correct value. The value we show on the balance sheet should be the same as the amount of cash we expect to convert it into. It is important to have an accurate figure, as accounts receivable can be quite large for some firms. For example, General Motors has over $20 billion in receivables. Accounts Receivable Using accrual accounting, we recognize sales on account as revenue. Some of these customers will fail to pay. Thus, we have to record some amount each period to recognize this. This amount will be recorded as an expense, a bad debt expense This is typically small (like 2% of total sales). Direct Write Off Method This method is common sense.

Excerpt: ... Chapter Five Quick Check pages 286 288 and Quiz pages 296 298 Quick Check: 1. B Trading securities are classified at fair market value. In this case $55,000. This is an exception to the historical cost principle. 2. C The gain or loss on trading securities is recognized (recorded) even though it is not realized. 3. Typo in the book. If a company uses the percentage of sales method, the existing balance in the allowance for uncollectible accounts is ignored. The bad debt expense would be credit sales times 2% = $760. 4. D After the above entry: Bad Debt Expense 760 Allowance for uncollectible accounts 760 The allowance will have a balance of 750 + 760 = 1510. Remember the allowance account is a contra-asset that reduces the accounts receivable account down to the net realizable value. 5. A The focus of the aging (or percentage of receivables) method is estimation of the net realizable accounts receivable. Per the facts, the amount needed at the end of the year in the allowance for uncollectible accou ...

Case A Because McDonald's collects cash when the coupon books are sold, cash collection is not an issue in this case. In order to determine if the revenue has been earned, the student must be careful in analyzing what McDonald's actually sold. Students who focus on the sale of the coupon book often conclude that the earning process is complete with the delivery of the book to the customer. In reality, McDonald's has a significant additional service to perform; it has to serve a meal. The correct point for revenue recognition in this case is when the customer uses the coupon or when the coupon expires and McDonald's has no further obligation. Case ...
