Problem 7–12
Requirement 1
In addition to sales revenue of $1,340,000, the 2019 income statement will
include (1) interest revenue, (2) bad debts expense, and (3) loss on sale of note
receivable.
Interest revenue
$200,000 note: $200,000 x 6% x 3/12 = $3,000
$60,000 note: $ 60,000 x 8%(1) x 10/12 = 4 ,000
Total interest revenue $7,000
(1) The interest rate on the $60,000 note can be determined as follows:
Interest receivable in 12/31/2018 balance sheet = $6,800
Less: Interest on $200,000 note: $200,000 x 6% x 6/12 = (6 ,000)
Interest on $60,000 note $ 800
$800 represents interest for two months (November and December of 2018) or
$400 per month. Annual interest is $400 x 12 = $4,800.
$4,800 $60,000 = 8% interest rate.
Bad debt expense
Analysis of accounts receivable
Beginning accounts receivable ($218,000 + 24,000) $ 242,000
Add: Credit sales 1,340,000
Less: Cash collections (1,280,000)
Less: Write-offs (22 ,000)
Ending accounts receivable $ 280 ,000
Analysis of allowance for uncollectible accounts
Beginning allowance $24,000
Add: Bad debt expense ?
Less: Write-offs (22 ,000)
Ending allowance(2) $28 ,000
Therefore bad debt expense is $26,000 ($24,000 – 22,000 – 28,000)
(2)$280,000 x 10% = $28,000
