(b) loans and receivables should only be tested for impairment as a group.
(c) it is always acceptable to use the direct write-off method.

Francis Equipment Co. closes its books regularly on December 31, but at the end of 2017 it held its cash book open so that a more favorable balance sheet could be prepared for credit purposes. Cash receipts and disbursements for the first 10 days of January were recorded as December transactions. The information is given below.
1. January cash receipts recorded in the December cash book totaled \(45,640, of which \)28,000 represents cash sales, and \(17,640 represents collections on account for which cash discounts of \)360 were given.
2. January cash disbursements recorded in the December check register liquidated accounts payable of \(22,450 on which discounts of \)250 were taken.
3. The ledger has not been closed for 2017.
4. The amount shown as inventory was determined by physical count on December 31, 2017.
The company uses the periodic method of inventory.
Instructions
(a) Prepare any entries you consider necessary to correct Francis’s accounts at December 31.
(b) To what extent was Francis Equipment Co. able to show a more favorable balance sheet at December 31 by holding its cash book open? (Compute working capital and the current ratio.) Assume that the balance sheet that was prepared by the company showed the following amounts:
Debit | Credit | |
Cash | \(39,000 | |
Accounts receivables | 42,000 | |
Inventory | 67,00 | |
Accounts payable | \)45,000 | |

(Expected Cash Flows) On December 31, 2017, Iva Majoli Company borrowed \(62,092 from Paris Bank, signing a 5-year, \)100,000 zero-interest-bearing note. The note was issued to yield 10% interest. Unfortunately, during 2019, Majoli began to experience financial difficulty. As a result, at December 31, 2019, Paris Bank determined that it was probable that it would receive back only $75,000 at maturity. The market rate of interest on loans of this nature is now 11%.
Instructions
(a) Prepare the entry to record the issuance of the loan by Paris Bank on December 31, 2017.
(b) Prepare the entry, if any, to record the impairment of the loan on December 31, 2019, by Paris Bank.
(Expected Cash Flows) On January 1, 2017, Botosan Company issued a \(1,200,000, 5-year, zero-interest bearing note to National Organization Bank. The note was issued to yield 8% annual interest. Unfortunately, during 2018 Botosan fell into financial trouble due to increased competition. After reviewing all available evidence on December 31, 2018, National Organization Bank decided that the loan was impaired. Botosan will probably pay back only \)800,000 of the principal at maturity.
Instructions
(a) Prepare journal entries for both Botosan Company and National Organization Bank to record the issuance of the note on January 1, 2017. (Round to the nearest $10.)
(b) Assuming that both Botosan Company and National Organization Bank use the effective-interest method to amortize the discount, prepare the amortization schedule for the note.
(c) Under what circumstances can National Organization Bank consider Botosan’s note to be impaired?
(d) Compute the loss National Organization Bank will suffer from Botosan’s financial distress on December 31, 2018. What journal entries should be made to record this loss?
