1. On June 1, 2017, sales of $80,000 to a major customer were settled, with Patchwork accepting an $80,000, one-year note bearing 7% interest that is payable at maturity. The $80,000 is not included in the total credit sales amount above.
2. Patchwork factors some accounts receivable at the end of the year. Accounts totalling $60,000 are transferred to Primary Factors Inc., with recourse.

The fair value of the recourse obligation is $7,000.
3. Patchwork wrote off $3,200 of accounts receivable during 2017.
