Answer 1

Part 1)

The total amount of cash received from the financing of accounts receivable is calculated as below:

Total Amount of Cash Received from Financing of Accounts Receivable = Proceeds Against Sale of Accounts Receivable + Proceeds from Assignment of Accounts Receivable after Deduction of Finance Charge

Substituting values in the above formula, we get,

Total Amount of Cash Received from Financing of Accounts Receivable = 1,390,000 + (2,500,000 - 2%*2,500,000) = $3,840,000 (which is Option A)

_____

Part 2)

The total amount of accounts receivable that should be reported as current asset on 12/31/2019 is derived as below:

Total Amount of Accounts Receivable to be Reported as Current Asset = Unassigned Accounts Receivable + Assigned Accounts Receivable

Substituting values in the above formula, we get,

Total Amount of Accounts Receivable to be Reported as Current Asset = 0 + 5,000,000 = $5,000,000 (which is Option C)

_____

Part 3)

The value of bad debt expense for the year is determined as follows:

Bad Debt Expense = Required Allowance on 12/31/2019 + Allowance fo Bad Debts before Adjustment, 12/31/2019

Substituting values in the above formula, we get,

Bad Debt Expense = 5,000,000*10% + 100,000 = $600,000 (which is Option A)
