Solid Bank loaned P 5,000,000 to a borrower on January 1, 2018. The terms of the loan require principal payments of P 1,000,000 each
year for 5 years plus interest at 8%.

The first principal and interest payment are due on January 1, 2019. The borrower made the required payments during 2019 and 2020.
However, during 2020 the borrower began to experience financial difficulties, requiring the bank to reassess the collectability of the loan.

collection of the interest is unlikely.

The bank did not accrue the interest on December 31, 2020.

MCQ 5
On December 31, 2020, London Bank granted a P 5,000,000 loan to a borrower with 10% stated rate payable annually and maturing in 5
years. The loan was discounted at the market interest rate of 12%.

Unfortunately, the financial condition of the borrower worsened because of the lower revenue.

On December 31, 2022, the bank determined that the borrower would pay back only P 3,000,000 of the principal at maturity.
However, it was considered likely that interest would continue to be paid on the P 5,000,000 loan.

The present value of 1 at 12% is 0.57 for five periods and 0.71 for three periods.

The present value of an ordinary annuity of 1 at 12% is 3.60 for five periods and 2.40 for three periods.

for sales discount will be set up as computed in Question (1) which is P 6,000.

No allowance for sales returns will be set up because actual sales returns are directly charged to accounts
receivable as stated in Transaction (D).

At the beginning of current year, Rampant Company reported that the allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit
balance of P 170,000.

Bad debts recoveries and bad debts written off in the current year were P 30,000 and P 235,000, respectively.

The allowance account had been previously calculated as a percentage of sales.

It was decided, however, to provide doubtful accounts commencing with the year-end adjusting entry on the basis of
an analysis of the age of the receivables.

The following schedule was prepared:

2) How much would be the doubtful accounts expense for the current year?
3) What is the adjusting entry for the doubtful accounts expense for the current year?

STRAIGHT PROBLEM 2 (AICPA Adapted)


(Source: Intermediate Accounting Volume 1 - 2020 Edition by Valix, Peralta, Valix)
From inception of operatyions, Savvy Company carried no allowance for doubtful accounts.

Uncollectible receivables were expensed as written off and recoveries were credited to income as collateral.

During the current year, management recognized that the accounting policy with respect to doubtful accounts was not
correct, and determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary.

A policy was established to maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical bad debts loss percentage
applied to year-end accounts receivable.

The historical bad debtsl loss percentage is to be recomputed each year based on all available past years up to a
maximum of five years.

Accounts
Year Credit Sales written off Recoveries
2017 1,500,000 15,000 0
2018 2,200,000 40,000 2,000
2019 3,000,000 50,000 3,000
2020 3,300,000 65,000 5,000
2021 4,000,000 88,000 10,000

Accounts receivable balance were P 1,250,000 and P 2,000,000 on January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021,
respectively.

Required:
1) Prepare journal entry to set-up the allowance for doubtful accounts on January 1, 2021.
2) Compute the doubtful accounts expense for the current year.
3) Determine the net realizable value of accounts receivable on December 31, 2021.

SUPPORTING ANALYSIS:
Savvy Company is using the Direct write-off in prior years because it is stated in the problem that uncollectible
receivables were expensed as written off and recoveries were credited to income as collected.
In establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts during the year 2021, it is stated in the problem that the basis is the
year-end accounts receivable. This refers to December 31, 2020 accounts receivable which is also the January 1, 2021
accounts receivable balance of P 1,250,000.

It is also stated in the problem that the doubtful accounts percentage to be used in year 2021 in establishing the
allowance for doubtful accounts is based on past years experience up to a amximum of five years. In the problem, the
current year is year 2021 and the available past years given include years 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017, or four years.
Therefore, the doubtful accounts rate based on these past four years can be computed as follows:

Accounts Accounts
Year Credit Sales written off Recoveries Year Credit Sales written off Recoveries
2017 1,500,000 15,000 0 2017 1,500,000 15,000 0

Doubtful accounts rate for 2020 1.6% Doubtful accounts rate for 2021 1.7%

SOLUTION:
1) Journal entry to set-up the allowance for doubtful accounts on January 1, 2021.

Account Names Debit Credit

Retained Earnings 20,000


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 20,000
Supporting computation:
Accounts receivable, January 1, 2021 1,250,000
Multiply by doubtful accounts rate (past 4 years) 1.6%
Allowance for doubtful accounts, January 1, 2021 20,000

Notes:
The debit entry is the Retained Earnings account because the setting up of ADA is actually for December 31,
2020. The doubtful accounts expense that is supposed to be the account to be debited is a real account and
already closed to Retained Earnings at December 31, 2020. This account and its balance is forwarded to the next
accounting period as the beginning balance.

2) Computation of the doubtful accounts expense for the current year.

Allowance for doubtful accounts, January 1, 2021 20,000


During the year 2021:
Accounts written off (88,000)
Recovery of accounts written off 10,000

From inception of operations, Comprehensive Company provided for uncollectible accounts expense under the
allowance method using the percentage of sales method.

No year-end adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts were made.

credit sales, bad debts of P 200,000 were written off, and recoveries of accounts previously written off amounted to P

181 - 360 1,500,000 30%
Over 360 500,000 50%

Based on the review of collectibility of the account balances in the "over 360 days" aging category, additional accounts
totaling P 100,000 are to be written off on December 31, 2021.
