The following three independent sets of facts relate to contingent liabilities: 1. In November of the current year an automobile

manufacturing company recalled all pickup trucks manufactured during the past two years. A flaw in the battery cable was discovered and the recall provides for replacement of the defective cables. The estimated cost of this recall is $2 million. 2. The EPA has notified a company of violations of environmental laws relating to hazardous waste. These actions seek cleanup costs, penalties, and damages to property. The company is reasonably certain there will be cost associated with the cleanup, but cannot estimate the amount. The cleanup cost could be as high as $4,000,000 or as little as $500,000 and insurance could reimburse all or part of the cost. There is no way to more accurately estimate the cost to the company at this time. 3. Holland Company does not carry property damage insurance because of the cost. The company has suffered substantial losses each of the past three years. However, it has had no losses for the current year. Management thinks this is too good to be true and is sure there will be significant losses in the coming year. However, the exact amount cannot be determined.

Step 3 of 3

Situation 2 is a reasonable contingency. The costs are possible and there are rough estimates for cleanup but there are also rough estimates about reimbursements for property damage. This situation would be disclosed on the balance sheet.

Situation 3 is a remote contingency. There is a small change that there could be property damage but there is no way to determine how much or what the costs could be. There is no amount marked down for this situation

Mumz [18]

Answer:Assets turnover ratio Year 2 =2.87 times

Assets turnover ratio for Year 3  = 4.58times

Explanation:

The total assets turnover is calculated as  = Net Sales / Average total assets

also,  

Average total assets = (Beginning assets + Ending Assets) / 2

Average total assets for Year 2 = ($1,684,000 +$1,780,000)/ 2 =$1,732,000

Average total assets for Year 3 = ($1,780,000 + $1,949,000 )/2 =$1,864,500

Assets turnover ratio Year 2 =$4,970,000 / $1,732,000 = 2.87 times

Assets turnover ratio for Year 3  = $8,532,000  / $1,864,500 = 4.58times

McCulloch v. Maryland represented a power struggle between the State and Federal law. It was a landmark decision by the Supreme Court of the United States. The state of Maryland had attempted to impede operation of a branch of the Second Bank of the United States by imposing a tax on all notes of banks not chartered in Maryland. Though the law, by its language, was generally applicable to all banks not chartered in Maryland, the Second Bank of the United States was the only out-of-state bank then existing in Maryland, and the law was recognized in the court's opinion as having specifically targeted the U.S. Bank.
