Question

Sun Inc. 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

The answer is: Assigning accounts receivables as collateral for a bank is not a asset transfer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Even as the bank offers Sun Inc. with a factoring limit, the accounts receivables are still in the firm's accounting book. The firm has the obligations to go after their debtors for collections. The account receivables are transferred to creditors when a company becomes defaulted or bankrupted.
