Answer:1. Make provision for warranty claims.
2. Disclosure of contingent liability
3. No cost should be recorded.
Explanation:
Warranty is an assurance made by firms to make good any agreed loss that is incurred by the customers in usage of goods and services whiting the period of the warranty. Since an estimation can be made based on firms history of sales a provision has to be made for possible warranty.
Since it's only probably that a loss will be Incurred by the firm by going into the contract and the financial statement has not been issue the firm should made a contingent liability disclosure in the report.
The self insurance is not a contract with a third party, in this vein no cost will be accrued until the loss is actually suffered.
Answer:
The first journal entry was not the most appropriate, but since the mistake was correctly adjusted at the end of the year, both assets and expenses will be the same whether they did it correctly the first time or they had to adjust a mistake at the end of the year.
E.g. something like this happened
October 1, rent expense for 1 year
Dr Rent expense 12,000
Cr Cash 12,000
December 31, adjustment to rent expense
Dr Prepaid rent 10,000
Cr Rent expense 10,000
they should have recorded it as:
October 1, prepaid rent for 1 year
Dr Prepaid rent 12,000
Cr Cash 12,000
December 31, adjustment to rent expense
Dr Rent expense 2,000
Cr Prepaid rent 2,000
Whichever way you recorded the transactions, the balances a the end of the year would be:
prepaid rent (asset) $10,000
rent expense (expense) $2,000
The answer is $736.96
formula W=p(1+i/q) *(qy)
where p=360 , y=18 (years) , i-0.04 , q=4 (quarterly compounding)
W=360(1+.01)*72
=360*2.0471
