2 Overview What are receivables Recognition of accounts receivable Treatment of sales discounts Gross method Net method Valuation of accounts receivable Direct write-off method Allowance method Percentage-of-sales approach Percentage-of-receivables approach Recovery of accounts written-off Are bad debts really bad? Recognition of notes receivable Disposition of accounts receivable and notes receivable 2

3 Receivables: definition and categorization Definition: revenues recognized but not yet received, revenues on account only what the accounting entity collects on its own account, not on behalf of others net of VAT agent: only the commission Classification current receivables: expected to be collected within a year or the current operating cycle (whichever is longer) noncurrent receivables: all others trade receivables: amounts owed by customers for goods sold and services rendered nontrade receivables: arise from a variety of transactions e.g. interest, royalties, dividends, compensation for damages 3

4 Treatment of VAT Example invoice: Gross amount: 1000, including 25% VAT usually VAT has to be separately shown in the invoice revenue (1 + 25%) = 1000 revenue = 1000/1.25 = 800 Journal entries: Dr.: Customer 1000 Cr.: revenue 800 VAT 200 4

5 Trade Receivables Accounts receivable oral promises of the purchaser to pay usually collectible within days represent open accounts (short-term extension of credit) accounts receivable account in general ledger control account summarizes total amount receivable 5

6 Summary of individual receivables General Ledger Accounts Receivable Bal Accounts Receivable Subsidiary Record Bal. 500 VAT: 80 Miller Meier Total Bal VAT: 288 Mayor VAT Bal. adapted from 1008 Harrison/Horngren, p.228 Bal VAT: 640 6

7 Importance of Accounts Receivable - I Accounts Receivable as a Percentage of Total Assets for Selected Industries Household Appliances 40,2% Pharmaceuticals 17,5% Grocery Stores 5,1% Auto and Home Supply 18,4% Interstate Trucking 28,0% Advertising Agencies 44,1% 0,0% 10,0% 20,0% 30,0% 40,0% 50,0% Source: Dun and Bradstreet, Industry Norms and Ratios,

9 Revenue recognition revisited Accounting regulation (IAS 18: Revenues) Revenue is to be recognized when all of the following conditions are met it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the entity from the respective transaction the amount of revenue and the related costs can be measured reliably the significant risks and rewards of the transaction have been transferred to the buyer specific cases goods sold on consignment: consignor recognizes revenue only when consignee has sold to his customer right of the customer to return the goods: recognition depends on the amount of risk that customer will exercise this right (consignment on approval... return only if defective) warranty claims do not prevent revenue recognition but they lead to a provision (a separate debt item) 9

10 Recognition of Accounts Receivable usual way if a credit sale occurs record the sale as revenue and record an increase in accounts receivable Accounts Receivable Revenue XYZ XYZ basis for recognition exchange price, i.e. the amount due from the debtor exchange price can be found in the contract or on the invoice Discounts must be recognized interest not recognized, no discounting (immaterial) 10

11 Discounts Trade Discounts used to avoid frequent changes in catalogues allow for different prices for different quantities hide true invoice price from competitors revenue recognized is the net amount Sales Discounts offered to induce prompt payment usually 2% - 3% if payment occurs within 10 days, net amount due within 30 days foregoing the discount is expensive (in terms of opportunity costs!) e.g. not using a 2% discount means incurring a 36.9% interest on the discounted balance!! (1 + r) =

12 Note that discounts apply to VAT too both revenue and VAT amounts are reduced by the discount percentage Example: Invoice: VAT 2% discount used Customer pays: 1176 Journal entries: when revenue is recognized using the gross method Dr. Accounts receivable: 1200 Cr. Sales Revenue: 1000 VAT: 200 payment: Dr. Cash: 1176 Sales discount: 20 VAT: 4 Cr.: Accounts receivable:

13 Two methods of accounting for sales discounts (1) Gross method initially recognize gross amount recognize sales discounts when they are taken (2) Net method initially recognize amount net of sales discount make correcting entries if sales discounts are forfeited from an accounting point of view net method preferable why? amount recognized closer to net realizable value from a practical point of view gross method preferable why? easy to apply, no additional calculation necessary 13

14 Gross Method Net Method I Sale of 4.000, terms 3/10, n/30 Accounts Receivable Accounts Receivable Sales Sales II Payment of received within discount period: Cash Cash Sales Discounts 60 Accounts Receivable Accounts Receivable III Payment of received after discount period: Cash Accounts Receivable 60 Accounts Receivable Sales Discounts Forefeited forfeited 60 Cash Accounts Receivable Note: The payment of results in a reduction of in the accounts receivable account under the gross method. 14

15 Valuation of Accounts Receivable important for financial statement presentation important also for internal decision making valuation at net realizable value not always equal to face value! Motivating examples 1. Installment sales allow purchase of goods too expensive to fully pay instantly in cash risk of default if consumers overestimate their financial capabilities When and what amount of (expected) credit losses should be recognized? 2. Businesses with high return ratios credit sales as, say, books are delivered to stores unsold copies are returned should general allowances be made upfront? 15

16 One important valuation aspect: payment behavior How do German companies evaluate the payment habits of their customers? Manufacturing Construction Wholesale / Retailers Service Industries Bad 11,5 26,6 12,9 15 Good 27,4 21,4 23,9 26,9 Source: Creditreform, Figures from

17 Valuation of Receivables: Gross method From book value (face value) to net realizable value Face value: nominal amount recognized when credit sale transaction is recorded Net realizable value (NRV): amount estimated to be collectible from outstanding receivables adjustments necessary for discounts returns, and expected losses from revenues (uncollectible accounts) NRV = face value adjustments for discounts adjustments for sales returns allowance for uncollectible accounts 17

18 Uncollectible Accounts Receivable represent loss of revenue expense due to selling on credit uncollectible accounts expense (also called bad debt expense) is recorded When uncollectible accounts expense should be recognized? either at the time when an account turns out to be uncollectible : direct write-off method or in the period of the sales: estimate of uncollectible accounts: allowance method 18

19 Direct Write-Off Method no entries until a specific account is deemed uncollectible loss recorded as credit entry for Accounts Receivable and debit entry for Bad Debt Expense (or uncollectible accounts expense) Bad Debt Expense Accounts Receivable XYZ XYZ Discussion facts are recorded, not estimates however, no matching of revenues and costs no net realizable value presentation of receivables on the balance sheet Apply only for individual amounts not material! 19

20 Allowance Method Bad Debt Expense recorded in the same period as the sale debit Bad Debt Expense and credit Allowance for Uncollectible (or Doubtful) Accounts Bad Debt Expense Allowance for Doubtful Accounts XYZ XYZ two approaches: percentage-of-sales or percentage-ofreceivables Discussion involves estimates better matching of revenues and costs receivables recorded at their net realizable values This is the method that should be used (and must be used in many countries) 20

21 Both direct write-off and allowance method combined debit Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts credit Accounts Receivable estimated net realizable value of Accounts Receivable remains unchanged exception: unexpected high write-offs (major customer goes bankrupt) Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Accounts Receivable a specific account is written-off 21

22 Effect of write-off on NRV illustrated: Balances Before Write-Offs Balances After Write-Offs Accounts Receivable Less Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Estimated Net Realizable Value of Accounts Receivable No effect on net realizable value of Accounts Receivable 22

23 Percentage-of-Sales (Income Statement) Approach Bad Debt Expense as a percentage of credit sales during the accounting period percentage determined from past experience and future expectations amount to be recognized = percentage uncollectible sales any previous balance in Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is closed out: Journal entries: Dr.: Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts; Cr.: Uncollectible Accounts Expense Example Credit sales amounted to while 3%, on average, deemed uncollectible Uncollectible Accounts Expense Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

24 Percentage-of-Receivables (Balance Sheet) Approach allowances for doubtful accounts made depending on the aging schedule of outstanding receivables percentages for different age categories determined from past experience and future expectations NOTE: Percentage-of-receivable focus on balance sheet account Percentage-of-sales focus on income statement account Different focus of approaches balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts does matter (PoR) and does not matter (PoS), respectively! 24

25 Example of an aging schedule under the percentage-of-receivables approach The (uncollected) credit sales of Paper Company in its first year of business amount to: Month Customer Amount Jan. Holm Feb. Lowe August Smith (I) Nov. Miller Dec. Baker Cooper Gardener

26 Aging schedule for year 1 (prepared on December 31, year 1): Age Amount Percentage Uncoll. category uncollectible amount 0 30 days 10,000 (B,C,G) 5% days 20,000 (M) 10% 2, days 8,000 (S I) 15% 1,200 >180 days 12,000 (H,L) 25% 3,000 Targeted balance for Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts 6,700 26

27 Journal entries and accounts in year 1: Uncollectible accounts expense 6,700 Allowance for uncollectible accounts 6,700 Accounts Receivable Allowance for uncoll. accounts 50,000 6,700 Net realizable value of accounts receivable: 43,300 27

28 (uncollected) credit sales in year 2: Month Customer Amount Jan. Koller 2,000 March Deutsch 40,000 July Franco 6,000 August Weyer 1,000 Sept. Hunger 12,000 Nov, Smith (II) 9,000 Dec. Camillo 4,000 74,000 28

29 Other information for year 2: Payments received from outstanding year-1 receivables Holm 10,000 Miller 20,000 Smith (I) 8,000 Write-offs of year-1 receivables Cooper 1,000 Gardener 3,000 Open accounts from year 1 Baker 6,000 Lowe 2,000 29

30 Aging schedule at the end of year 2: Age Amount Percentage Uncoll. category uncollectible amount 0 30 days 4,000 (C) 5% days 9,000 (S II) 10% days 19,000 (F,W,H) 15% 2,850 >180 days 50,000 (K,D,B,L) 25% 12,500 Targeted balance for Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts 16,450 30

31 Determining bad debt expense for year 2: Targeted balance for allowance for u.a. 16,450 less credit balance from prior year 6,700 plus debits due to write-offs + 4,000 13,750 Accounts Receivable Allowance for uncoll. Accounts Red write-offs; blue collections yr.1; green adj. yr.2 31

32 Remarks Net realizable value of receivables at the end of year = In year 2: net realizable value of year-1 receivables after writeoffs but before collections is the same as at the end of year 1, i.e. is equal to Accounts written-off in year 2 accounted for just 200 of allowance for uncollectible accounts in year 1 Balance of in Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts account from year 1 matters for determining bad debt expense (uncollectible accounts expense) in year 2 32

33 Example 2 of an aging schedule of receivables Company XYZ Percentage Required estimated to be Balance in Age Amount uncollectible Allowance less than 30 days old % days old % days old % days old % over 120 days old % targeted balance of the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts account: Determination of Uncollectible Accounts Expense... subtract the current credit balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts to determine Uncollectible Accounts Expense for the corresponding accounting period 33

34 Credit balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Dec Dec. 31 adjustment Dec. 31 balance Targeted Balance for Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts: Less Current Credit Balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Uncollectible Accounts Expense Dec. 31 Uncollectible Accounts Expense Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

35 Recovery of accounts receivable written-off allowance method reestablish the receivable written-off debit Cash and credit Accounts Receivable Accounts Receivable Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Cash Accounts Receivable direct write-off method debit Cash credit Uncollectible Amounts Recovered 35

36 Economic evaluation of allowing for bad debt Two contrasting views: 1. In God we trust. All others pay cash. (anonymous) 2. If the percentage of uncollectibles is below some percentage of all receivables, our credit policy is too tight and we forego business. According to view #1, uncollectible accounts expense represents unnecessary expenses that reduce profits. According to view #2, uncollectible accounts expense is a necessary evil associated with credit sales but these credit sales are a means to increase and repeat business. in advance it is not known which accounts will turn bad 36

37 Recognition of Notes Receivable A promissory note is a written promise to pay a certain sum of money at a specific future date. payee holder of note; regards it as note receivable asset maker issuer of note; regards it as note payable liability terms are negotiable stronger legal claim than accounts receivable some notes are tradable short-term notes recorded at face value interest immaterial long-term notes recorded at present value of cash expected to be collected Accounting for notes receivable: similar to accounting for accounts receivable notable difference in recognition of interest topic will be dealt with under liabilities, i.e. notes payable 37

38 Disposition of Accounts Receivable and Notes Receivable growing popularity of credit sales soaked up cash of the selling companies means to accelerate receipt of cash: transfer accounts or notes receivable to another company, e.g. bank or factor finance charge associated with these transactions transfer of receivables via secured borrowing sales of receivables differ in some legal aspects and accounting treatment 38

39 Sale of Receivables An account receivable that ZiscoSys holds is sold to Deutsche Factors (a fictitious commercial factor). The receivable amounts to and the factor takes a 4% finance charge. Journal entries that both companies would make as a result of the transaction. ZiscoSys Deutsche Factors Cash Accounts Receivable Loss on Sale of Receivables 600 Financing Revenue 600 Accounts Receivable Cash

40 Receivables Turnover Two equivalent ratios 1. Turnover rate = Sales on Account average net accounts receivable 2. average credit period taken by customers = 360 turnover rate 40
