Answer:
a) Disclose in the notes
b) no Disclosure
c) Record a liability
Explanation:
There are three scenarios to be considered
1) It is reasonably possible that Huprey will lose a pending lawsuit. The loss cannot be estimable
First, premise is that Huprey Co. is facing a lawsuit and the possibility of a loss is most possible. If Huprey Co is able to recognize the amount of loss, then he would have been able to record a liability but the inability to estimate the loss means, the company can o<u>nly make appropriate disclosure in notes</u>
2)Huprey is being used for damages of $2 million. It is very unlikely (remote) that Huprey will lose the case.
This second premise is also a lawsuit on damages for $2 million, however, it is most reasonably acceptable that Huprey will win the lawsuit. As such there is no loss, that way there will be no disclosure in Huprey Co's books.
3. Huprey can reasonably estimate that a pending lawsuit will result in damages of $1.25 million, it is probable that Huprey will lose the case.
The probability of losing a case means that there will be a loss to be recorded in the books and since the damages are already estimable to be $1.25 million. Huprey Co should record a liability
Answer: The fringe benefit is worth $182 more than the additional salary.
Explanation:
The Fringe benefit is valued at $3,600.
The additional salary after taxes is:
= 5,000 - (5,000 * 24%) - (5,000 * 7.65%)
= 5,000 - 1,200 - 382.5
= $3,418
The Fringe benefit is worth more than the salary by:
= 3,600 - 3,418
= $182
<em>Options are more probably for a variant of this question. </em>
Answer:
d. $38.00
Explanation:
The computation of the overall Belinda expense for the week is shown below:
= Bus fare expense + lunch out expense + hair cut expense + movie rental expense
= $8.70 + $7.35 + $16 + $5.95

We have added all the types of expenses that are provided in the case i.e. bus fare, lunch out, hair cut and movie rental expenses.
Answer:
Change in liabilities = $33,300
Explanation
<em>According to the accounting equation, assets is equal to liabilities + equity. And this equation can be re-written as:</em>
Liabilities = assets - equity
Liabilities at the end of the period = assets at the end - equity at the end
Assets at the end= 117,000 + 56,700= 173,700
Equity at the end = 88,500 + 23,400 = 111,900
Liabilities at the end = 173,700 - 111,900=61800
Change in liabilities = Liabilities at the end - Liabilities at the beginning
Change in liabilities = 61,800 - 28,500= $33,300
