1. The gross amount of beginning accounts receivable is the net amount of $48,000
plus the allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,000 = $51,000. The ending amount is

analyzing the Accounts Receivable account:

Investment in Sox Common Stock .... 76,000
To record sale of stock at a loss.
*5,000 × $10
**$76,000 – $50,000
If Durango paid $25 per share to buy the 2,000 shares of ABC stock, and another $500
in commissions, the total purchase price was ($25 × 2,000) + $500 = $50,500. Since
Durango incurred a loss of $4,500 when it sold the shares, the cash received on the
sale was $50,500 – $4,500 = $46,000.
Because the change in the Accounts Receivable account during the period of $2,000
was added on the statement of cash flows, this means the company collected $2,000
more during the period than the amount sold. Sales on account were $24,500. There-
fore, the company collected $24,500 + $2,000 = $26,500.

of the balance in the allowance account. The amount of the allowance should proba-

DECISION CASES
1. The balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is $104 million at the end of 2013
and $105 million at the end of 2012.
2. The net realizable value of receivables at the end of 2013 was $4,253 million, and at
the end of 2012, $4,061 million.
3. Increases in the allowance account result from the adjustment to estimate bad debts
for the period. Decreases in the allowance account result from the write-off of uncol-
lectible accounts, i.e., bad debts, during the period. A net decrease in the account
for the period is an indication that the amount of estimated bad debts was less than
the write-offs.

LO 1,6 DECISION CASE 7-2 READING APPLE INC.’S STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
1. Apple spent $217,128 million to purchase marketable securities in 2014. This was
$68,639 million more than Apple spent on marketable securities in 2013 and
$65,896 million more than it spent on marketable securities in 2012.
2. Apple received $18,810 million from marketable securities that matured in 2014.
This was $1,507 million less than it received in 2013 and $5,775 million more than in
2012.
3. Bonds mature, but stocks have no maturity date. Therefore, if a company holds
bonds until their maturity date, it will receive proceeds on that date. Bonds can be
sold on a date before they mature as well. Because stocks do not have a maturity
date, any proceeds are received on the date they are sold.

CHAPTER 7 • RECEIVABLES AND INVESTMENTS 7-45
I have reviewed the loan proposals recently submitted by Oak and Maple and would
like to summarize for you my findings. Because of limited resources available for
short-term loans, my recommendation is that we make a six-month, $10 million loan to
Maple only.
The total current asset positions of the two companies are identical. Each has $33
million in current assets. However, the composition of the current assets differs
considerably between the two companies. On the surface, Oak may appear to be
stronger because it has twice the amount of cash on hand that Maple does. However,
cash is essentially a nonearning asset, and I am skeptical as to why Oak feels it
necessary to maintain that much cash on hand, and consequently, why it feels as if it
needs to borrow an additional $10 million.
The accounts receivable for Maple is significantly larger than that for Oak. Assuming
that the estimates of bad debts are reasonably reliable, Oak has a bigger problem with
uncollectibles than does Maple. Oak has an allowance that is 1/15, or 6.67% of ac-
counts receivable, while Maple’s percentage is only 1/23, or 4.35%.
In summary, I believe that Maple is a better candidate at the present time for a loan.
I recommend that we make a six-month, $10 million loan to Maple at the current market
rate of interest. Please call if you need any further details in connection with these two
loan requests.
