Required:
1. In addition to sales revenue, what revenue and expense amounts related to receivables will appear in Cordova’s 2021 income statement?
2. Calculate the receivables turnover ratio for 2021. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

1.	Interest revenue
	Bad debt expense
2.	Accounts receivable turnover ratio

Answer 1

1.
In addition to sales revenue, Interest revenue and bad debt expense will be recorded on income statement

2.
i) Interest Revenue = $120000 x 6% x 10/12 + 230000 x 8% x 3/12 = $10600

Accounts Receivable Balance = ($377000+45000) + 2050000 - 1910000 - 34000 = $528000
Bad Debt Expense = $528000 x 10% - (45000-34000) = $41800

Accounts Receivable, Net = $528000 - 41800 = $486200

ii) Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = Sales Revenue / Average Accounts Receivable
= $2050000 / 431600 = 4.75 times (Using net receivables)

it can also be = $2050000 / 475000 = 4.32 times (Using gross receivables)
