factoring

Mmansoor10y ago
a quick question: i have a debt of 100 on my books as receivable. i factor it and get 100 and the terms are such that its a loan. so i will setup the entry as follows: Dr Debts Factored (or whatever its formally called) 100 Cr Liability 100 ------------------------ and the balance in Receivables remains in the books as it is. .. correct? now, lets say i get 80 from the factor and its still a loan Dr Debts Factored 80 Liability 80 ------------------------ and the balance in Receivables remains in the books as it is. .. correct? thanks

And the last 20 debit should be expenses And you're never in this world going to get $100 for factoring $100 of debt And basically the entry is Dr Cash 80 Dr Finance Costs 20 Cr Loan Account 100 OK?
