3		Wildhorse Co. returned defective merchandise having a sales price of $600.
5		Accounts receivable of $19,000 (gross) are factored with Pina Corp. without recourse at a financing charge of 9%. Cash is received for the proceeds and collections are handled by the finance company. (These accounts were subject to a 2% discount and were all past the discount period.)

Novak will continue to make the collections. All the accounts receivable pledged are past the discount period and were originally subject to a 2% discount.
Dec. 29		Wildhorse Co. notifies Novak that it is bankrupt and will be able to pay only 14% of its account. Give the entry to write off the uncollectible balance using the allowance method. (Note: First record the increase in the receivable on July 11 when the discount period passed.)
