Mini Corporation factored, with recourse, $600,000 of accounts receivable with Huskie Financing. The agreement met all three conditions to be considered an outright sale. Huskie advanced 92% of the amount factored and retained the remainder to cover a 3% finance fee (to be remitted at the end of the agreement) and any sales returns/allowances/discounts. The recourse obligation is estimated to be 2.4% of accounts factored. Mini estimates the fair value of the final 8% of the receivables factored to be $43,000.
