On July 1, 2025, it assigned, under guarantee (with recourse), specific accounts amounting to $255,000. The finance company advanced to Sheridan 80% of the accounts assigned (20% of the total to be withheld until the finance company has made its full recovery), less a finance charge of 0.50% of the total accounts assigned.
On July 31, Sheridan Company received a statement that the finance company had collected $136,000 of these accounts and had made an additional charge of 0.50% of the total accounts outstanding as of July 31. This charge is to be deducted at the time of the first remittance due Sheridan Company from the finance company. (Hint: Make entries at this time.)

The statement indicated that the finance company had collected an additional $85,000 and had made a further charge of 0.50% of the balance outstanding as of August 31.
