CarsRUs factors $800,000 of accounts receivable with recourse. The factor (buyer of receivables) charges a 3% finance fee and holds back an amount equal to 14% of the accounts receivable for sales adjustments and returns. CarsRUs estimates its recourse liability to be $26,000. What is the amount of the loss on sale of receivables that CarsRUs would recognize at the sale of its receivables

Respuesta :

Answer:

$50,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount of the loss on sale of receivables that CarsRUs would recognize at the sale of its receivables

Using this formula

Loss on sale of receivables=[(Recourse Accounts receivable*Finance fee charges)+Estimated recourse liability]

Let plug in the formula

Loss on sale of receivables=(3%*$800,000)+$26,000

Loss on sale of receivables=$24,000+$26,000

Loss on sale of receivables=$50,000

Therefore the amount of the loss on sale of receivables that CarsRUs would recognize at the sale of its receivables will be $50,000
