Question - Katy Inc. has been in financial trouble the past few months of 2020. The firm has just saved itself from near bankruptcy by relaxing its credit policy to boost up sales. As a result, collection period of accounts receivable has been prolonged. The company is running out of cash. Overdue accounts payable and other currently maturing obligations have to be paid if the company wants to maintain its credit standing, good relationship with creditors and continue smooth flow of operations.

To solve the problem, the company has the following options to be done on July 1, 2020:

A. Obtain P1,500,000 loans from a bank by pledging P3,000,000 A/R and issuing a 1 year 10% promissory note. Accordingly, the bank will discount the note.

B. Assign P2,000,000 of its A/R to obtain a loan from Taylor Financing which guaranteed Katy Inc. to receive a loan equal to 75% of accounts assigned less service charge equal to 3% of accounts assigned, after it issue a promissory note carrying 3% per month to the said financing institution. Taylor Financing shall be the one to collect the A/R assigned.

C. Sell P2,000,000 of its A/R to Ariana Financing in a notification, without recourse basis. The estimated selling price shall be P1,600,000 after estimating that P200,000 of the accounts might prove to be uncollectible.

D. Factor P2,000,000 of its accounts receivable to Ariana Financing which guaranteed to release 75% of the receivables factored, net of P50,000 service charges.

Aug 15 - Received notice from Taylor Financing that P850,000 of the assigned accounts has been collected. Excess cash after deducting the principal and interest of the loan is refunded to Katy Inc.

5. On June 15, 2020, ABC Co. received from a customer a one-year, P100,000 note bearing annual interest of 10%. Due to dire need for cash, ABC Co. discounted the note at Metrobank at 12%, on January 15, 2021.
