PROBLEM SET A 7.2

KONA Ltd

Accounts receivables are amounts owed by customers on account. They result from
the sale of goods and services in the normal course of business operations (i.e. in
trade). Notes receivable represent claims that are evidenced by formal instruments of
credit.
Soo Eng should realise that the decrease in the recoverable amount occurs when
estimated uncollectables are recognised in an adjusting entry. The write-off of an
uncollectable account reduces both accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful
accounts by the same amount. Thus, the recoverable amount does not change.

Cash counts are made by the manager at the end


of each cashiers shift. Daily comparisons are
made by the company treasurer.

Actions by the doorperson and cashier to misappropriate cash include:


(1)

Instead of tearing the tickets, the doorperson could return the tickets to the
cashier who could resell them, and the two could divide the cash.

(2)

The cashier could issue a lower priced ticket than paid for and the doorperson
would admit the customer. The difference between the ticket issued and the
cash received could be divided between the doorperson and cashier.

Under the direct write-off method, accounts receivable are overstated because future
estimated write-offs are not anticipatedwrite-offs are journalised as they occur. In
contrast, under the allowance method, anticipated write-offs are estimated and
reduce the ending accounts receivable balance. The resulting estimated balance of
accounts receivable, stated at recoverable amount, then represents the future
benefits to be recovered from the accounts receivable asset ie, cash.
