Learning Objective 1Learning Objective 1
Describe the common classifications of receivables
Classifying Receivables
• Accounts Receivable─ Credit terms extended to customers
• Notes Receivable─ More formal agreement
─ Includes a maker and payee
• Other Receivables ─ Can include interest receivable, taxes receivable, and receivables from
employees or officers
Accounting for Notes Receivable
Learning Objective 2Learning Objective 2
Describe the nature of and the accounting for uncollectible receivables
Uncollectible Receivables
Q. What if a customer does not pay the balance owed to the company?
R. Companies must recognize an operating expense for accounts that are not collectible. It is called Bad Debt Expense.
Bad Debt Expense
Two Methods
Direct Direct Write-Off Write-Off MethodMethod
AllowanceAllowanceMethodMethod
Learning Objective 3Learning Objective 3
Describe the direct write-off method of accounting for uncollectible receivables
Direct Write-Off Method
• Bad Debt Expense is recorded and the receivable written off when the account is determined to be worthless.
If payment is collected after the write-off, the write-off entry is reversed and the cash collection is recorded
Learning Objective 4Learning Objective 4
Describe the allowance method of accounting for uncollectible
receivables
Allowance Method
• Required by GAAP for companies with large accounts receivable
• Estimates the accounts receivable that will not be collected and records bad debt expense for this estimate at the end of each period using an allowance account
Estimate of Uncollectible Accounts Receivable: $30,000
• If the total accounts receivable balance is $200,000, the new net realizable value is $170,000
Write-Offs to the Allowance Account
• When a customer’s account is identified as uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account
If payment is collected after the write-off, the write-off entry is reversed and the cash collection is recorded.
• Assume a $5,000 account had been previously written off.
Estimating Uncollectible Accounts
• Based on past experiences and forecasts of the future
• Two common methods:

Sample Aging Schedule
Estimate Based on Percent of Sales
• Assume that on December 31, 2009, the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for ExTone Company has a negative balance of $3,250. In addition, ExTone estimates that 3/4% of 2009 credit sales will be uncollectible. Credit sales for the year are $3,000,000.
Estimate Based on Analysis of Receivables
• Comparing the $26,490 estimate with the unadjusted balance in the allowance account determines the needed adjustment for bad debt expense. Assume the unadjusted balance in the allowance account is a negative $3,250. $23,240 more is needed in the allowance account.
Learning Objective 5Learning Objective 5
Describe the common classifications of inventory
Inventory Classification for Merchandisers
• In Chapter 4, we learned that merchandise on hand is called merchandise inventory. Inventory sold becomes the cost of merchandise sold
• Cost of inventory includes all costs of ownership (e.g., purchase price, transportation costs, insurance costs, etc.)
Merchandising Inventories
Manufacturing Inventories
• Materials Inventory• Raw material used to make the product
• Work In Process Inventory• Cost of partially completed products
• Finished Goods Inventory• Total cost of completed goods: material, labor, manufacturing overhead
Manufacturing Inventories
Footnote Disclosure of Manufacturing Inventories
Learning Objective 6Learning Objective 6
Describe three inventory cost flow assumptions and how they impact the
financial statements
Inventory Cost Flow
• Identical units purchased at different unit costs during a period
• When units are sold, it is necessary to determine the cost of units sold
• Cost of units sold can be determined using a cost flow assumption
Units Purchased Units Sold
Specific Identification
• If the merchandise can be identified with a specific purchase, the specific identification method can be used
• Each unit of merchandise can be identified with a specific purchase price
• Only practical if each unit has a unique identification number (e.g., VIN for an automobile)
Three Inventory Methods
First-In, First-Out (FIFO)
• One unit is sold on May 30 for $20
Last-In, First-Out (LIFO)
• One unit is sold on May 30 for $20
Average Cost
• One unit is sold on May 30 for $20
Learning Objective 7Learning Objective 7
Compare and contrast the use of the three inventory costing methods
Comparing Methods - Rising Prices
METHOD I/S EFFECT B/S EFFECT RESULT
FIFO Lower COGS
Higher gross profit
Inventory shows replacement cost
Benefit lost in higher future costs
LIFO Higher COGS
Lower gross profit
Lower inventory values Matches current cost with current revenue
AVERAGE Average (middle) gross profit
Average inventory value Compromise between LIFO & FIFO
Learning Objective 8Learning Objective 8
Describe how receivables and inventory are reported on the
financial statements
Balance Sheet Presentation
Lower of Cost or Market
Reporting Receivables and Inventory
• Accounts Receivable• Classified as a current asset if collection is expected within 1 year.
• Reported at net realizable value: A/R – Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
• Inventory• Reported at the net realizable value
• Net realizable value = selling price – direct costs of disposal
• Reported at Lower of Cost or Market (LCM)
