Logitech estintes a fair value of its 15% What is the eflect of this transaction on the company's assets, liabilities, and income betore income taxes?

Explanation / Answer

Amount transferred to Bank = $ 105,000

Amount Retained by bank (15% of $ 105,000) = ($ 15,750)

Retained amount on collection (2% of $ 105,000) = ($ 2100)

Fair value of amount retained by bank = $ 11500

Net amount received by Logitech = $ 98650

Assets will reduce by $6350 & to that extent profit reduced

Assumptions:

We assumed that total 15% of the retention money collected as per fair value but as per Prudence concept expected loss to be recognized immediately(so retention money is also reduced from total value of asset transferred)
