Explanation / Answer
In addition to sales revenue, revenue and expense amounts related to receivables appearing in Cordova’s 2016 income statement is shown as under:
Interest Revenue
250,000*10%*3/12 = $6,250
100,000*6%*10/12 = $5,000
Interest rate of 6% is calculated as shown below:
Total interest receivable in the year 2015 is $19,750
and interest on 250,000 notes for 9 months at 10% is $18,750
so balance amount is $1,000 which is for 2 months so total is 6,000 and rate of interest is 6,000/100,000 6%
So, interest revenue is $ 11,250.
Bad debt expense is calculated as under:
Bad debt expense reported on Income statement is $ 31,400
