Answer 1

Answer:

a. $6,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What amount of loss on sale of receivables would Marquess record in June

Using this formula

Loss on sale of receivables=Accounts receivable factored *Fee percentage of receivables factored

Let plug in the formula

Loss on sale of receivables =$200,000 × 3%

Loss on sale of receivables = $6,000

Therefore the amount of loss on sale of receivables that Marquess would record in June is $6,000
