Explanation:

The fair value of recourse liability will be recorded by Arness, but the Commercial Factors Inc. will record the actual amount of 6% as receivable.

Cash is received excluding the finance charges and retained accounts receivables.

Net of Liabilities and receivable will be recorded as Loss on the recourse of receivables.

Cash $300,000 – ($300,000 X (.06 + .03)) = $273,000

Due from Factor ($300,000 X .03) = $9,000

Loss on Sale of Receivables = $20,500

Accounts Receivable = $300,000

Recourse Liability = $8,000
