Lonergan Company occasionally uses its accounts receivable to obtain immediate cash. At the end of June 2018, the company had accounts receivable of $940,000. Lonergan needs approximately $580,000 to capitalize on a unique investment opportunity. On July 1, 2018, a local bank offers Lonergan the following two alternatives:

Borrow $580,000, sign a note payable, and assign the entire receivable balance as collateral. At the end of each month, a remittance will be made to the bank that equals the amount of receivables collected plus 12% interest on the unpaid balance of the note at the beginning of the period.

Transfer $630,000 of specific receivables to the bank without recourse. The bank will charge a 2% factoring fee on the amount of receivables transferred. The bank will collect the receivables directly from customers. The sale criteria are met.

Required: 1. Prepare the journal entries that would be recorded on July 1 for: a. alternative a. b. alternative b. 2. Assuming that 90% of all June 30 receivables are collected during July, prepare the necessary journal entries to record the collection and the remittance to the bank for: a. alternative a. b. alternative b.

Prepare the journal entries that would be recorded on July 1 for alternative a. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
