Accounting

On June 30, 2024, Figaro Fixtures was considering alternatives to bolster its cash position. Option One called for transferring $500,000 in accounts receivable to Wagner Finance Company without recourse for a 5% fee. Option Two calls for Figaro to transfer the $500,000 in receivables to Wagner with recourse. Wagner's charges a 4% fee for receivables factored with recourse. Option Two meets the conditions to be considered a sale, but Figaro estimates a $4,000 recourse liability. Under either option, Wagner will immediately remit 90% of the factored receivables to Figaro, and retain 10%. When Wagner collects the remaining receivables, it remits the amount, less the fee, to Figaro. Figaro estimates that the fair value of the final 10% of the receivables is $30,000. When Wagner Finance collects the receivables, it wil remit to Figaro the retained amount, less the factoring fee for both options.
