Sheffield Corp. had record sales in 2020. It began 2020 with an Accounts Receivable balance of $500,000 and an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $35,000. Sheffield recognized credit sales during the year of $6,705,000 and made monthly adjusting entries equal to 0.5% of each month’s credit sales to recognize bad debt expense. Also during the year, the company wrote off $35,300 of accounts that were deemed to be uncollectible, although one customer whose $4,700 account had been written off surprised management by paying the amount in full in late September. Including this surprise receipt, $6,538,000 cash was collected on account in 2020.

To assess the reasonableness of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the controller prepared the following aged listing of the receivables at December 31, 2020:
Days Account Outstanding Amount Probability of Collection
Less than 16 days $353,200 97%
Between 16 and 30 days 124,000 91%
Between 31 and 45 days 76,000 80%
Between 46 and 60 days 38,800 71%
Between 61 and 75 days 19,800 51%
Over 75 days 24,600 0%
$636,400
Your answer is correct.
Reconcile the 2020 opening balance in Accounts Receivable to the $636,400 ending balance on the controller’s aged listing.

NewMedia Inc. is planning to expand its business globally. oOh!Media Ltd, an Australian advertising and media company, is among the acquisition targets NewMedia is evaluating. oOh!Media has a sizable lease portfolio. Cindy, NewMedia’s CFO, is concerned that under IFRS 16 oOh!Media’s financial results and leverage may look significantly less attractive. Cindy is familiar with the new lease accounting standard for U.S. GAAP, but has not been following the IFRS standard. She has asked your team to 1) explain the major requirement of IFRS 16, focusing on how it differs from U.S. GAAP; and 2) estimate the impact on oOh!Media’s leverage, EBITDA, net profit and cash flows. She would like to see your findings in writing on or before 12/5/18. She also made it clear that your assumptions and methods are just as important as the estimates themselves. Finally, she reminded you that she never reads any office memo longer than 2 pages.
