The entries should be recorded using the accounts on page 5. HP s financial statements and Valuation and Qualifying Accounts (Schedule II of 10K) are on pages 6-10. Part I: Record Entries Record Keeping This exercise helps you learn how to do record keeping and reporting. Simplifying Assumptions Assume for the purpose of this question that HP s allowance for doubtful accounts is only affected by bad debts and, in particular, that the effects of product returns, sales rebates and other programs offered to customers are immaterial or non-existent. This is likely a reasonable assumption: HP only mentions customer returns once in its 2012 10-K (page 84) and Schedule II reports Addition of bad debt provision, suggesting most, if not all, of the provision is attributable to bad debts. Assume for the purpose of this question that HP writes off the gross margin associated with receivables secured by collateral before recording the recovery of the returned property. For example, if a customer originally purchased a product for $100 on account with $70 cost of sales and HP writes off the account, it records two entries: (i) writes off the $30 portion of the $100 receivable associated with the margin when it decides the account is not collectible and (ii) writes off the remaining $70 receivable when the collateral is recovered. The first entry is the only one that affects the allowance and the only one you are to record here. In terms of wording in HP s Schedule II, the $30 recorded in entry (i) writes off the $100 receivable, net of the $70 recovery: the allowance would report a $30 Deduction, net of recoveries. Search This exercise helps you learn how to search for information. Usage This exercise helps you learn how to use accounting information. Guidance The chart of accounts includes one bad debt expense account. Record the combined expense for accounts receivable and financing receivables into this account. HP s balance sheet reports financing receivables as current and non-current assets. This means HP maintains separate current and non-current accounts for gross financing receivables and for the allowance for bad debts. However, HP s Valuation and Qualifying Accounts (Schedule II) doesn t report separate current and non-current allowances. This means you can t perfectly replicate HP s related entries (into current and non-current accounts). Instead, as indicated in the chart of accounts, you are to record entries into fictitious accounts that combine the current and non-current effects. For example, you will record the bad debt expense associated with current and non-current financing receivables into a single allowance for financing receivables.

2 NAVIGATING ACCOUNTING Required (a) Record a journal entry that recognizes HP s bad debts expense for the year ended October 31, 2012. Write your entry in the space below using the accounts on page 5. Replenish bad debt allowance Debit Credit (b) Record a journal entry that recognizes HP s write-offs (net of recoveries) of receivables (accounts and financing) for the year ended October 31, 2012. Follow the guidance for part (a). Write off bad debts (net of recoveries) Debit Credit Part II: Financial-Statement Effects of Entries Required For the entries you recorded in Part I, complete the related table identifying the HP financial statement line items that would have been directly affected (and the direction of the effects) during the year ended October 31, 2012. Choose the most appropriate line items on HP s financial statements. As indicated in the guidance for Part I (a), HP doesn t disclose enough information to record separate amounts for the current and non-current accounts related to financing receivables. However, even though we combined the current and non-current accounts in Part I, here we want you to assume you recorded them separately. That is, you are to identify the line items that were affected when HP wrote off receivables using current and non-current accounts for financing receivables. Guidance: (1) Determine the appropriate line item(s) affected using HP s financial statements on pages 6-9 For example, write cash and cash equivalents rather than cash because this is on HP s balance sheet. (2) Include line item(s) directly affected, including the effect(s) of closing entries for events affecting income. Ignore taxes. (3) Don t include totals or sub-totals indirectly affected by the entry. For example, don t report net income on the income statement. However, net income is NOT a total on the statement of shareholders equity. (4) Three or four lines were included below for each statement, but you may need none or more than one line. Write NONE if no line item is effected on the statement.
EXERCISE 3 (5) Indicate if the effect(s) of the entries associated with the event increased or decreased the line item. Put an X in the appropriate column if the above event increases or decreases that line item. Be sure to mark only one box in each statement s row. NOTE: If a reported negative number changes from -2 to -3, it decreases; if it changes from - 2 to - 1, it increases.

4 NAVIGATING ACCOUNTING Part III: Risk comparisons Required (e) Note 11 of HP s 2012 10-K reports $7,693 of gross financing receivables (current and non-current) at the end of fiscal 2012 with an allowance for doubtful accounts of $149 (page 122). Thus, the allowance is 1.94% of gross financing receivables. HP s balance sheet reports $16,407 of accounts receivable at the end of fiscal 2012 and the Valuation and Qualifying Allowances table (Schedule II) reports $464 of related allowance for doubtful accounts. Thus, gross accounts receivable were $16,871 and the allowance was 2.75% of gross accounts receivable. This suggests the credit risk associated with accounts receivable was slightly greater than the risk associated with the financing receivables. Based solely on the following background information and concepts covered thus far, hypothesize two reasons accounts receivable may have been riskier than financing receivables. Background information The following quotes are from HP s 2012 10-K (trade receivables are the same as accounts receivable): Moreover, some of our wholesale and retail distributors may have insufficient financial resources and may not be able to withstand changes in business conditions, including economic weakness and industry consolidation. Many of our significant distributors operate on narrow product margins and have been negatively affected by business pressures. Considerable trade receivables that are not covered by collateral or credit insurance are outstanding with our distribution and retail channel partners. (Page 26) HP sells a significant portion of its products through third-party distributors and resellers and, as a result, maintains individually significant receivable balances with these parties. If the financial condition or operations of all of these distributors and resellers aggregated accounts deteriorate substantially, HP s operating results could be adversely affected. The ten largest distributor and reseller receivable balances, which were concentrated primarily in North America and Europe, collectively represented approximately 14% of gross accounts receivable at both October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of accounts receivable. Credit risk with respect to other accounts receivable and financing receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising HP s customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographical regions. HP performs ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of its third-party distributors, resellers and other customers and requires collateral, such as letters of credit and bank guarantees, in certain circumstances. The past due or delinquency status of a receivable is based on the contractual payment terms of the receivable. (Page 88) Financing receivables represent sales-type and direct-financing leases resulting from the placement of HP and third-party products. These receivables typically have terms from two to five years and are usually collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets. Financing receivables also include billed receivables from operating leases. (Page 122)
