Accounts Receivables
Accounts Receivable is the amount owed to a company resulting from the company providing goods and/or services on credit to its customers. The term Trade Receivable is also used in place of accounts receivable. The unpaid balance in this account is reported as part of the current assets listed on the company's balance sheet.
In your personal life, an example of Accounts Receivable would be buying a ticket to a concert or sporting event for a friend with the understanding that they will pay you back later. It’s essentially an “IOU”. In business, AR represents a line of credit extended by a company, due within a relatively short time-frame, which could range from a few days to a year.
If a company has Receivables, then they’ve made a sale, but have not yet collected the money from the purchaser. Most companies operate by allowing a portion of their sales to be on credit, offering their clients the ability to pay after receiving the service.
Example of Accounts Receivable
For example, utility companies typically bill their customers after they have received electricity. While the utility or energy company waits for its customers to pay their bills, the unpaid invoices are considered Accounts Receivable by the electric company.
A manufacturer will record an account receivable when it delivers a truckload of goods to a customer on June 1 and the customer is allowed to pay in 30 days. From June 1 until the company receives the money, the company will have an account receivable (and the customer will have an account payable) entry.
Accounts Payables
While AP is the debt a company owes to its suppliers or vendors, accounts receivable is the debt of the buyers to the company. Accounts Receivables are important assets to a firm, while Accounts Payable are liabilities that must be paid in the future by the company. Basically, firms choose to offer receivables to encourage customers to choose their products over the competitor’s products.
Example of Accounts Payables
- Raw Materials/Power/ Fuel Purchase
- Transportation and Logistics
- Assembling and Subcontracting Works
- Traveling
- Equipment Purchase
- Rent
