Marigold Incorporated sold $295,000 of accounts receivable to Gannon Factors Inc. on a with recourse basis. Gannon assesses a 2% finance charge of the amount of accounts receivable and retains an amount equal to 6% of accounts receivable for possible adjustments. Prepare the journal entries for Marigold Incorporated and Gannon Factors to record the sale of the accounts receivable to Gannon assuming that the recourse liability has a fair value of $13,500

Accounts Receivable = $295,000

Retention % = 6%

Retention Amount = $295,000 x 6% = $17,700 ( Due from Gannon Factors)

Finance Charge % = 2%

Finance Charge = $295,000 x 2% = $5,900

Loss on Sale of Accounts receivables = Finance Charge + Recourse Liability

                                                               =$5,900 + $13,500

                                                               =$19,400

Cash received = Total Accounts Receivable Transferred – [Retention Amount + Finance Charge]

Cash received =$295,000 - [$17,700 + $5,900]      

                        =$295,000 - $23,600

                        =$271,400
