Trell will show an amount receivable from factor equal to 20, 010 dollars.

Explanation:

NON recourse factoring is when a company sells it's invoices to a factor, without the promise that the company will buy back any uncollected invoices. The factor does not take the risk of any uncollected invoices.

So in this factoring arrangement no allowance for bad debt exist

Company Receivable before factoring = $ 58000

Amount received = 58000*60 % = $ 34800

Amount remaining = 58000*40% = $ 23200

Amount Receivable from factor = 23200 - (58000*1%) ' - (34800/2*15%) ''

=20, 010 dollars
