Kathleen Battle Financing assesses a finance charge of 2% of the amount of accounts receivable and also reserves an amount equal to 4% of accounts receivable to cover probable adjustments. (b) Assume that the conditions are met for a transfer of receivables with recourse to be accounted for as a sale. Prepare the journal entry on August 15, 2020, for Splish to record the sale of receivables, assuming the recourse obligation has a fair value of $4,380.
