As an audit in-charge you are reviewing the work done by your audit staff who has been assigned to
audit the accounts receivable account of Hope Inc. in line with your firm's audit of the company's
financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2020. The following are the

b. The subsidiary ledger details are as follows: Customer Invoice Date Amount Aye Corp. 18-Dec-20 P68,900 04-Nov-20 112,000 15-Aug-20 89,500
Bee Inc. 01-Dec-20 110,000 18-Sep-20 108,700 19-Jun-20 61,000 18-Apr-20 45,800 Syi Co. 06-Nov-20 95,700 15-Jun-20 137,800
Di Inc. 23-Dec-20 98,700 11-Oct-20 123,600 09-Aug-20 56,400 12-Mar-20 101,200 Eeeh Corp. 11-Nov-20 198,400 12-Jul-20 95,400

c. The audit staff's examination revealed the following:
1. The negative balance in Eye Inc. subsidiary account resulted from an advance collection
from Eye Inc. for which goods shall be delivered in January of the following year.
2. The amount receivable from Eych Co. is definitely uncollectible thus has to be written off.
3. According to Aye Corp., in response to a confirmation request sent to the company, the
invoice dated August 15, 2020 has already been settled by the company. Further
investigation revealed that Aye Corp.'s payment was erroneously posted against Syi Co.
subsidiary ledger in payment of an invoice dated December 16, 2020 for the same
amount.
4. The December 1 invoice to Bee Inc. was for goods sold on the same date with an
accompanying two-months maintenance service contract (starting from the date of sale).
The service contract is considered a separate performance obligation from which a
separate service income should be recognized over the period covered. The stand-alone
selling price of the goods sold was at P90,000 while the maintenance service could be sold
separately at P30,000.
5. The February 14, 2020 invoice to Eff Company is offset by a credit memo for a sales
return issued to the said company. The credit memo was appropriately recorded in the
general books but were apparently overlooked in the posting to the subsidiary ledger.
6. The Sales Invoice to Gee Inc. dated September 18, 2020 was erroneously posted to the
subsidiary ledger at P50,400. Further investigation revealed that the correct amount
recorded in the sales journal was at P40,500.

Age Category % of Collectibility
