Serena Inc. transferred $76,000 of accounts receivable to the Deni Bank. The transfer was made with recourse. Deni remits 89% of the factored amount to Serena and retains 11% to cover sales returns and allowances. When the bank collects the receivables, it will remit to Serena the retained amount (which Serena estimates has a fair value of $6,000). Serena anticipates a $4,000 recourse obligation. The bank charges a 2.5% fee (2.5% of $76,000), and requires that amount to be paid at the start of the factoring arrangement.   Instructions: Prepare the journal entry to record the transfer on the books of Serena Inc. assuming that the sale criteria are met.
