d. Loan from Ross to be repaid by the proceeds from Gar's accounts receivable.

答案：D

Explanation

Choice "b" is correct. Factoring receivables without recourse is a sales transaction. Factoring without recourse transfers the risk of uncollectible accounts to the buyer.

Choice "a" is incorrect. Pledging receivables is the process of obtaining a loan using the receivables as collateral.

Choice "d" is incorrect. Assigning receivables is the process of obtaining a loan by transferring to the lender the debtor's right to cash collected on receivables.

Choice "c" is incorrect. Factoring receivables may be treated as a sales transaction. Factoring with recourse leaves the risk of uncollectible accounts with the seller.
