Answer: d. provide disclosure in the footnotes to the financial statements.

Explanation:

A contingent liability is an obligation that a company might owe in future depending on the outcome of an event such as a law suit.

To record a contingent liability in the books, two conditions must be satisfied;

  1. Loss must be probable
  2. Amount must be estimable

If these two conditions are not satisfied then the contingent liability may simply be disclosed as a footnote in the financial statement. The amount here is not estimable so can be disclosed as a footnote.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

$18,250

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the net operating income for a division of a firm.

We proceed as follows;

Turnover=Sales/Average operating assets

Average operating assets=(730,000/2)=$365000

Return on investment=net operating income/Average operating assets

Hence Average operating assets=($365000*5%)

which is equal to

=$18250.

natulia [17]

Answer: False

Explanation:

A sudden stop refers to the sudden decline in net capital inflows in the economy from outside. This is a significant method by which the economy can have access to foreign exchange.

If the country therefore borrows internationally in foreign currencies whilst lending in domestic currency, the sudden stop will be difficult to navigate because it will impair the country's ability to pay off the international creditors it has because it will not have enough of the required foreign currency to pay them.

When the effective-interest method of bond discount amortization is used,
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: C. interest expense will not be a constant dollar amount over the life of the bond.

Explanation:

When a bond is sold at a discount, the discount will have to be amortized over the life of the bond to ensure that it reaches par at maturity.

As a result, the interest expense will be based on a larger figure every year which would mean that it would have to be larger each time. t will therefore not be a constant dollar amount over the life of the bond.

Answer:

warrant expense 51,000 debit

          cash                       6,000 credit

          warranty liability 45,000 credit

--to record warrant-related accounts--

interest payable 16,667 debit

interest expense  3,333 debit

          cash                  20,000 credit

--to record interest expense for the loan and installment--

Manufacturing Facilities 5,192,772  debit

              Cash                    5,000,000 credit

              Restoration Liability 192,772 credit

-- to record the payment to contractor--

Explanation:

Warranty: the additional expected expense are considered warranty laibility

Loan: we previously recorded accrued interest from March 1st to Dec 31th

That is: 200,000 x 10% x 10/12 months = 16,667 payable

At February 28th we recognize the last two month of interest

200,000 x 10% x 2/12 months = 3,333 expense

in total we have 16,667 + 3,333 = 20,000 cash outlay

Facility: the asset should add to all the cost necessary to acquire it:

As the conversion into community center is mandatory it is part of the cost:

present value of the 500,000 in ten years:

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  $500,000.00

time  10.00

rate  0.10000

\frac{500000}{(1 + 0.1)^{10} } = PV  

PV   192,771.6447

Total cost:

5,000,000 cashg + 192,772 liability = 5,192,772
