Answer:

The entry is not required because the outcome is reasonably possible, not certain or probable. So IAS 37 says that the liability must not be recognized as the outcome is not reasonably certain or probable.

Explanation:

The liability must be included in the financial statement only if the outcome is certain or probable. In this scenario, the outcome is reasonably possible but neither certain nor probable in this situation. So the entry in the financial statement is not required. If the liability is of a huge amount then IAS 37 says that their must be a disclosure in the financial statement notes about the lawsuit.

Answer:

US GAAP requires that contingent liabilities (e.g. lawsuits) must be disclosed in the footnotes of the financial statements of Blythe Corporation. If the contingent liability qualifies as probable and a reasonable cost can be estimated, then it must also be reported as a liability in the balance sheet. But since this lawsuit is only reasonably possible, not probable, then it doesn't need to be included in the balance sheet.

As a general thumb rule, we can assume that probable means that the chance of losing is more than 50%, while possible means that there is a 50/50 chance.

On january 1, a company issued and sold a $460,000, 3%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $456,000. interest is pay
Bad White [126]

To find the carrying value of the bonds after the first interest payments, we need to do the calculations to find the interest ..

Calculation of Interest:-

Cash interest payment of $ 6,900 ( 1.5% x $ 460,000) at the end of each semiannual period during the bonds life of 10 years… ( 3% / 2 = 1.5%)

That is $ 6,900 is paid for every six months say from Jan 30th to June 30 and June 30 to Dec 31……

So, every year we will pay $ 13,800 ( $ 6,900 + $ 6,900 ) for 20 periods ( two payments are made for every year, so for 10 years , we need to make the interest payment for 20 periods…)

Now lets amortize a bond discount.. (Amortizing is nothing but paying back

Straight Line Method… This method allocates an equal portion of the total bond interest expense to each interest period .

We divide the total bond interest expense of $ 142,000 by 20

This gives the interest expense of $ 7,100 per period. ( $ 6,900 interest + $ 200 Discount)

Interest Computation

Amount repaid to bondholders

20 interest payments of $ 6,900 = $ 138,000

Par value at maturity =$ 460,000

_________

Total repaid to bondholders = $ 598,000

Less:- Amount borrowed from bondholders = $ 456,000

__________

Total bond interest expenses = $ 142,000

__________

The following table shows the decrease in Discount on bonds payable account and the increase in the bonds carrying value ( Straight line method)

This is the summarization of Discount bond Straight Line amortization..

Semiannual period –end Unammortized Discount Carrying Value

(0) 1 / 30 $ 4,000 $ 456,00

(1) 6 / 30 $ 3,800 $ 456,200

(4,000 -200) ( 456,00+200)

The carrying value of the bonds after the first interest payment is $ 456,200

Explanation:

The FDIC insures the deposits of depositors.

The Federal Deposit  Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was established after the great depression. Bank run was attributed to be one of the causes of the great depression. The FDIC increases confidence of depositors in banks because they insure the deposit of bank customers.

torisob [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a challenge posed by the facelessness that results from the use of new technology accessible in the workplace. This applies to any form of business that is either done completely autonomous or is done in an online format. Such a type of store is an E-commerce store, since all of the sales on this platform are done online, there is no face-to-face contact between the store owner/employees and the customers. Therefore, the store owners can make decisions thinking it is best for the store, but cannot fully understand the complete effect that it will have on the customers.
