Mountain High Ice Cream Company transferred $68,000 of accounts receivable to the Prudential Bank. The transfer was made with recourse. Prudential remits 90% of the factored amount to Mountain High and retains 10% to cover sales returns and allowances. When the bank collects the receivables, it will remit to Mountain High the retained amount (which Mountain estimates has a fair value of $5,800). Mountain High anticipates a $3,800 recourse obligation. The bank charges a 2% fee (2% of $68,000), and requires that amount to be paid at the start of the factoring arrangement. Required: Prepare the journal entry to record the transfer on the books of Mountain High assuming that the sale criteria are met. Note: If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.
