Binsford, inc., sells $175,000 of its accounts receivable ($172,000 net of the allowance for doubtful accounts) to upshaw finance with recourse. upshaw immediately remits cash equal to 90% of the gross receivable amount and retains the remaining 10% to cover its factoring fee (equal to 4% of the gross amount of factored receivables) and any bad debts under the agreement’s recourse provisions. binsford estimates the fair value of the recourse obligation to be $4,000.

required:
1. prepare the journal entry binsford would make to record the factoring.
2. prepare binsford’s journal entry to record any subsequent cash received from upshaw finance if upshaw collects all of the factored receivables except for $2,500 resulting from a bad debt.

An employer who is considering hiring eva has asked donna, eva’s former supervisor, for a report on eva. in truth, eva’s work for donna has been only average. however, eva is donna’s friend, and donna knows that eva probably will not get the job if she says anything negative about eva, and donna knows that eva desperately needs the job. further, donna knows that if the situation were reversed, she would not want eva to mention her deficiencies. nevertheless, it has been donna’s policy to reveal the deficiencies of employees when she has been asked for references by employers, and she knows that some of eva’s faults may be bothersome to this particular employer. finally, this employer has leveled with donna in the past when donna has asked for a report on people who have worked for him. should donna reveal deficiencies in eva’s past performance? (remember to use one of the three moral theories acceptable for this test to solve this dilemma. any discussion of any personal opinion, religious perspective, or theory other than the moral theories acceptable for this test will result in a score of "0" for this question.)
