PRIA, INC. has been using the accrual basis of accounting. However, an examination of the records reveals that
some expenses and revenues have been handled on a cash basis by the inexperienced bookkeeper of
the company. Income statements prepared by the bookkeeper reported P145,000 net income for 20x3 and
P185,000 net income for 20x4. Further review of the records reveals that the following items were handled
improperly.

a. Rent of P6,500 was received from a lessee on December 23, 20x3. It was recorded as income at that
time even though the rental pertains to 20x4.
b. Salaries payable on December 31 have been consistently omitted from the records of that date and have
been recorded as expenses when paid in the following year. The salary accruals recorded in this manner
were:
December 31, 20x2 P5,500
December 31, 20x3 7,500
December 31, 20x4 4,700
c. Invoices for office supplies purchased have been charged to expensive accounts when received. Inventories
of supplies on hand at the end of each year have been ignored, and no entry has been made for them.
December 31, 20x2 P6,500

Visage Corp. had the following receivable financing transactions during the year:
· On March 1, 2014, Visage Corp. factored P500,000 of its accounts receivables to BPI. As of the date of
factoring, it was ascertained that P20,000 of the accounts receivable is doubtful of collection. BPI advanced
P350,000 cash to Visage Corp. and withheld P50,000 as factors holdback (to cover future sales discount and
sales returns and allowances). The company incurred P10,000 direct transaction costs (legal fees and other
professional fees) related to the factoring. The factoring was done on a without-recourse basis, thus transferring
all significant risks and rewards associated to the receivable to BPI.
· On May 1, 2014, Visage Corp. assigned P800,000 of its outstanding accounts receivable to BPI in consideration
of a P500,000, 24% loan. BPI charged the company 2% of the accounts assigned as service charge. By the
end of May, Visage Corp. collected P200,000 cash from the assigned accounts net of a P5,000 sales discount.
By the end of June, Visage Corp. collected another P150,000 from the assigned accounts after P4,000 sales
discount. The company accepted merchandise originally invoiced at P30,000 as sales returns and wrote-off
P20,000 of the assigned accounts as worthless. It was agreed between parties that monthly collections shall
be remitted to the bank as partial payment of the loan and interest.
· On July 1, 2014, Visage Corp. accepted from a customer a 6-month P600,000, 12% notes receivable for the
sale of merchandise. On October 31, 2014, Visage Corp. discounted the note to BPI at a discount rate
of 10%. The discounting was done on a with out-recourse basis, thus transferring all significant risks and
rewards associated to the receivable to BPI.
