Step-by-step explanation:

Journal entries

Dr Cash $257,900

Dr Due from Gannon Factors $17,700

Dr Loss on Sale of Receivables $19,400

Cr Accounts Receivable $295,000

Cr Recourse Liability $13,500

Dr Accounts Receivables $295,000

Cr Due to Customer $17,700

Cr Interest Revenue $5,900

Cr Cash $257,900

*6% X $295,000 =$17,700

*2% X $295,000 =$5,900 +$13,500=$19,400

Answer 2

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
