On February 1, 2016, Stealth Trucks sold a diesel rig to Kansas Transports for $250,000, receiving a $50,000 down payment and a 12-month, 10% note for the balance. Principal and interest are due at maturity, and the 10% interest rate reflected the market rate of interest at the time of sale. On August 1, 2016, Kansas Transports discounted the note without recourse at the First South Bank at 12% interest.

Required:

Prepare all required journal entries at August 1 to recognize interest revenue and the discounting of the note.

On June 30, 2016, Blondie Fixtures was considering alternatives to bolster its cash position. Option One called for transferring $400,000 in accounts receivable to Dogwood Finance Company withoutrecourse for a 5% fee. Option Two calls for Blondie to transfer the $400,000 in receivables to Dogwood withrecourse. Dogwood's charges a 4% fee for receivables factored with recourse. Option Two meets the conditions to be considered a sale, but Blondie estimates a $3,000 recourse liability. Under either option, Dogwood will immediately remit 90% of the factored receivables to Blondie, and retain 10%. When Dogwood collects the remaining receivables, it remits the amount, less the fee, to Blondie. Blondie estimates that the fair value of the final 10% of the receivables is $25,000 (ignoring the factoring fee).

Required:

1. Prepare any necessary journal entry or entries if receivables are factored under Option One.
2. Prepare any necessary journal entry or entries if receivables are factored under Option Two.
