Question

XYZ assigns $6,000,000 of its accounts receivables as collateral for a $2 million 8% loan with a bank. Sun Inc. also pays a finance fee of 1% on the transaction upfront. What would be recorded as a gain (loss) on the transfer of receivables

Answer 1

$0

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Account receivable assigned = $6,000,000

For Collateral = $2 million

Percentage = 8%

Finance fee = 1%

Based on the above information, the amount of gain or loss that should be recorded at the time of transfer of receivable is zero as the account receivable is used for a collateral purpose ,not for sale purpose

Therefore, the $0 should be recorded
