    August 15, 2020

    Cash $241,392

    Due from factors $10,272

    Loss on sale of receivables $7,136

    Recourse liability $2,000

    Explanation:

    In order to prepare the journal entry on August 15, 2020, we would have to get the the computation of net proceeds and then the Computation of gain or loss.

    Therefore, Computation of net proceeds=

    Cash received ($256,800*94%) = $241,392

    Add Due from factor ($256,800*4%) = $10,272

    Less recourse obligation=$2,000

    Hence, Net proceeds=$249,664

    Next, we calculate the Computation of gain or loss=

    Carrying value=$256,800

    Less net proceeds=$249,664

    Hence, there is a Loss=$7,136

    Therefore, the journal entry on August 15, 2020 is as follows:

    August 15, 2020

    Cash $241,392

    Due from factors $10,272

    Loss on sale of receivables $7,136

    Recourse liability $2,000

    Account receivable $256,800
