    the accounting entry you will make will be

    Bank 158,000

    lost interest 4,960

    bank commissions 5,040

    account s receivable 168,000

    Explanation:

    When the companies decide to sell their credits to the banks to make cash, they charge a commission for different concepts such as (custody, administrative expenses, collection management, ect) in this case these expenses are 168,000 x 3% = 5,040

    In addition, interest is also charged to advance the money, these interest rates depend on the remaining term to collect, the valuation of the credits and whether they are guaranteed or not. The exercise does not determine how much these interests are, so we calculate them by difference

    Account Receivable 168,000 minus 158,000 which is the money the company needs minus 5,040 which is the commission = 4,960 interest
