A factoring companies buys accounts receivables from other companies at a discount.
So an example is -
$100 invoice bought at a 3% discount = $97
Does the journal entry recognize the $3 as revenue or deferred revenue?
CR Cash 97
CR Deferred Revenue 3
DR A/R 100
in which case the revenue is recognized at payment of the invoice
or is it
CR Cash 97
CR Revenue 3
DR A/R 100
Thanks!
