Liquidity – 3 Key Issues • Plan for cash inflows, outflows, borrowing, and investing • Minimize the risk of bad debts due to sales on credit by establishing policies and procedures for checking credit • Ratios - check for effectiveness of policies • Receivable turnover ratio: net sales/average net receivable • Average days’ sales uncollectible: 365/rec turnover

  6. Average day’s sales uncollectible • A measure that shows on average how long it takes to collect accounts receivable • Figure 2 – pg. 7 and Figure 3 – pg. 8 Average days’ sales uncollectible = 365 days/receivable turnover

  7. Discounting Accounts Receivables • Two popular arrangements used for the discounting or sale of accounts receivable are factoring and securitization. The sale of accounts receivable can be made without recourse or with recourse. • 1. The buyer assumes the risk of uncollectibility when accounts receivable are sold without recourse, and the transfer is accounted for as a sale. The typical factoring arrangement is made without recourse. • 2. The seller retains the risk of uncollectibility when accounts receivable are sold with recourse. If certain criteria are met, factoring with recourse is accounted for as a sale; otherwise, its accounted for as a borrowing.

  9. Factoring Factoring involves selling accounts receivable to a factoring company at a certain percentage of face value. The company receives cash right away from the factoring company. The factoring company typically bears the default risk, bears the cost of financing the account and bears any collection costs.
