Mountain High Ice Cream Company transferred $60,000 of accounts receivable to the Prudential Bank. The transfer was made without recourse. Prudential remits 90% of the factored amount to Mountain High and retains 10%. When the bank collects the receivables, it will remit to Mountain High the retained amount (which Mountain estimates has a fair value of $5,000) less a 2% fee (2% of the total factored amount).

Required:
Prepare the journal entry to record the transfer on the books of Mountain High assuming that the sale criteria are met. (If no entry is required for a particular event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

Explanation:

Cash$54,000    ($60,000 - $60,000 × 10%)

Loss on sale of receivables$2,200  

Receivable from factor$3.800  {$5,000 - ($60,000 × 0.20)}

         To Accounts receivable  $60,000

(Being the transfer is recorded)

Since the 90% is remitted and 10 percentage is retained so 10% is considered and the receivable amount should be considered after 2% fee which is shown above

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
