Classification of Receivables
The term receivables includes all money claims
against other entities, including people,
business firms, and other organizations.

9-1
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are normally expected to be
collected within a relatively short period, such
as 30 or 60 days.

Notes Receivable
Notes receivable are amounts that customers owe
for which a formal, written instrument of credit
has been issued.

9-1
Other Receivables
Other receivables expected to be collected within
one year are classified as current assets. If
collection is expected beyond one year, these
receivables are classified as noncurrent assets
and reported under the caption Investments.

Objective 2
Describe the nature of and the accounting for
uncollectible receivables.

9-2
Companies often sell their receivables to other
companies. This transaction is called factoring
the receivables, and the buyer of the receivables
is called a factor.

Uncollectible Receivables
There are two methods of accounting for
receivables that appear to be uncollectible the
direct write off method and the allowance method.
13

9-2
The direct write off method records bad debts
expense only when an account is judged to be
worthless. The allowance method records bad debt
expense by estimating uncollectible accounts at
the end of the accounting period.

Allowance Method
On December 31, ExTone Company estimates that a
total of 40,000 of the 1,000,000 balance in her
companys Accounts Receivable will eventually be
uncollectible.

Net Realizable Value
The net amount that is expected to be collected,
960,000 (1,000,000 40,000), is called the
net realizable value (NRV). The adjusting entry
reduces receivables to the NRV and matches
uncollectible expenses with revenues.

Estimating Uncollectibles
The allowance method uses two ways to estimate
the amount debited to Bad Debt Expense.
  1. Estimate based on a percentage of sales.
  2. Estimate based on analysis of receivables.

of 1 of net sales. Determine (a) the amount of
the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts

Estimating Uncollectibles Based on Analysis of
Receivables
The longer an account receivable is outstanding,
the less likely that it will be collected.
Basing the estimate of uncollectible accounts on
how long specific amounts have been outstanding
is called aging the receivables.
