- The post-dated cheque for $25,000 is for a payment on accounts receivable and should not be recognized until the cheque is deposited on January 18. It will be held in a secure location until then.
- The post-dated cheque for $1,800 is for unearned revenue and will not be recorded as unearned revenue until the cheque can be deposited on January. It will be held in a secure location until then.

- The treasury bill for $50,000 should be classified as a temporary investment (current asset). It cannot be reported as a cash equivalent because the original maturity exceeds 90 days.
- Commercial paper should be reported as temporary investments (current as- set).
- Investments in shares should be classified with trading securities (current as- set) at their fair value of $4,060 ($4.06 × 1,000 shares).

EXERCISE 6.4
a.
b. The implied interest rate on accounts receivable paid to Busy Beaver from Heintoch within the 15-day discount period = 1% ÷ [(30 − 15) ÷ 365] = 24.33%. This means that Heintoch would be using funds from the bank at a lower rate of 8% to save 24.33% interest on early payment of amounts owing to Busy Beaver. It is worthwhile to take advantage of the early payment discount terms in this case.

b. Accounts receivable balance per ledger of $85,000 is less than estimated accounts receivable of $133,500, suggesting that some accounts receivable collections may have been received but not actually deposited to the company’s bank account.
Controls to help prevent theft include proper segregation of duties among the person initially in receipt of the cheque, the person depositing it, and the person recording the collection. Customers should be encouraged to pay by cheque so an audit trail is maintained. A timely completion of the monthly bank reconciliation would help detect if any cash was recorded as collected, but not actually deposited to the company’s bank account.
EXERCISE 6.6
- An unadjusted debit balance in the AFDA at year-end is usually the result of write- offs during the year exceeding the total AFDA opening credit balance. The purpose of the AFDA is to ensure that the net accounts receivable is valued at net realizable value on the balance sheet.

The net accounts receivable balance is intended to measure the net realizable value of the accounts receivable at December 31.
- The direct write-off approach is not in compliance with GAAP unless the amount of the write-off is immaterial. Direct write-off does not match (bad debt) expense with revenues of the period, nor does it result in receivables being stated at estimated net realizable value on the balance sheet.
EXERCISE 6.8
- Using a financial calculator input the following variables:
Interest = ± 228,676 PV, 0 PMT, 5 N, 336,000 FV
= 7.99 or 8% rounded
- (Partial balance sheet):
Non-current assets
Notes receivable, no-interest-bearing, due May 1, 2025
$260,142*
*$228,676 + 12,196 + 19,270
Unamortized discount as at December 31, 2021, is $336,000 − 260,142 = 75,858. As at December 31, 2024, the note would be classified as a current asset on the SFP because the maturity date of May 1, 2025, is within the next fiscal year.
- The fair value of the services provided can be used to value and record the transaction, instead of fair value of the note received.

EXERCISE 6.10
- Since Harrison uses ASPE, either straight-line or the effective interest method can be used for recognizing interest income. Below is the calculation using the straight- line method. Interest income for $1,131 for each of the next four consecutive years will be recorded.
EXERCISE 6.11
- To be recorded as a sale under IFRS, both of the following conditions must be met:
- The transferred assets risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the transferee. This is evidenced by transferring the rights to receive the cash flows from the receivables. Where the transferor continues to receive the cash flows, there must be a contractual obligation to pay these cash flows to the transferee without material delay.
- The transferee has obtained the right to pledge or to sell the transferred assets to an unrelated party (concept of control)
To be recorded as a sale under ASPE, the control over the receivables has been surrendered as evidenced by all of the following three conditions being met:
- The transferred assets have been isolated from the transferor.
- The transferee has obtained the right to pledge or to sell the transferred assets.
- The transferor does not maintain effective control of the transferred assets through a repurchase agreement.
- Management would likely prefer the receivables transfer transaction to be treated as a sale and derecognized from the accounts rather than a secured borrowing because the company would not have to record and report the additional debt in the SFP.
EXERCISE 6.12
EXERCISE 6.13
- Factoring the accounts receivable will improve the accounts receivable turnover ratio immediately after recording the entry on February 1 because the average accounts receivable amount in the denominator will decrease, making the ratio larger.For example, if sales were $3.2M and accounts receivable before the sale was $1.8M, the turnover ratio would be 1.78 (3.2M ÷ 1.8M) compared to 3.2 (3.2M ÷ 1M). If the calculation is made at the December 31 fiscal year-end, the balances of sales and average accounts receivable would no longer be affected by this transaction, and the accounts receivable turnover ratio would not be affected. This is because time has passed and many of the accounts would have been collected by year-end, had the company not sold them to a factor.
EXERCISE 6.14
- i. Land in exchange for a note:
PV = (0 PMT, 3 N, 11 I/Y, 530,000 FV) = $387,531
ii. Services in exchange for a note:
PV = (15,000 PMT, 6 N, 11 I/Y, 500,000 FV) = $330, 778
iii. Partial settlement of account in exchange for a note:
PV = (12,000 PMT, 5 N , 12 I/Y, 0 FV) = $43, 357
- From the perspective of Brew It Again, an instalment note reduces the risk of non- collection when compared to a non-interest-bearing note. In the case of the non- interest-bearing note, the full amount is due at the maturity of the note. The instalment note provides a regular reduction of the principal balance in every payment received annually. This is demonstrated in the effective interest table illustrated above for the instalment note.
EXERCISE 6.15
-
Accounts Receivable Turnover = Net Credit Sales ÷ Average Trade Receivables (net)
(Using credit sales) = $1,022,020 ÷ (($123,000 + $281,760) ÷ 2) = 5.05 times or about 72 days
Note that the write-off of $12,500 does not affect net accounts receivable. The average receivable is therefore about 72 days old (365 ÷ 5.05).
-
Credit sales are a better measure in the calculation of accounts receivable turnover ratio since cash sales do not affect accounts receivable balances. On this basis, Corvid Company’s accounts receivable turnover ratio has declined from the previous year. The average number of days to collect the accounts was 62 days (365 ÷ 5.85) compared to 72 days for 2020. This could be an unfavorable trend for future liquidity, if customers continue to pay slowly. Corvid may want to consider offering discounts for early payments of accounts or tighten their credit policy.
It should be noted that credit sales are not always available when performing analysis and calculating the accounts receivables turnover ratio. When not available, the figure of net sales should be used. As long as the calculation is done consistently between years, or between businesses, the comparison will remain relevant.

- The treasury bill for $18,000 is to be classified as a cash equivalent because the original maturity is less than 90 days. ↵
- The bank overdraft at the Lemon Bank for $150,000 is to be reported separately as a current liability because there are no other accounts at Lemon Bank available for offset. ↵
- These items could be separately classified, if considered material. ↵
- This classification assumes that these receivables are not collectible in the near term based on the fact that they were advanced in 2015 and remain outstanding. ↵
