What are the basic problems that occur in the valuation of accounts receivable?



The basic problems that relate to the valuation of receivables are (1) the determination of the face value of the receivable, (2) the probability of future collection of the receivable, and (3) the length of time the receivable will be outstanding. The determination of the face value of the receivable is a function of the trade discount, cash discount, and certain allowance accounts such as the Allowance for Sales Returns and Allowances.
