Answer:

Cash received (251,700*94%)             $236,598

Add: Due from factor (251,700*4%)    $10,068

Less: Recourse obligation                   $5,010    

Net proceeds                                        $241,656

Gain/Loss = Carrying value - Net proceeds

Gain = $251,700 - $241,656

Gain = $10,044
