(A)Your company is in need of quick cash to afford a project opportunity, so the firm decides to factor $100,000 of its receivables without recourse instead of waiting for collections. Assume that the transfer qualifies as a sale, and the institution purchasing the receivables pays $90,000. $3,000 of the amount kept is for a fee and the rest will be remitted after collections are made. $5,000 is the fair value of the amount to be remitted at a later date (receivable).
