Answer: The future event is probable and the amount owed can be reasonably estimated.

Explanation:

A Contingent Liability is an obligation that the business may possibly have to incur due to past events that the company engaged in.

The obligation might come about in future based on the outcome of other events, most of which the business usually have no control over.

An example of this is a law suit.

A Contigent liability should only be recorded in the books of accounting if and only if the future event is probable and the amount owed can be reasonably estimated.

If not then it is recommended to wait until the obligation might be incurred.

At the end of Year 2, retained earnings for the Baker Company was $3,350. Revenue earned by the company in Year 2 was $3,600, ex
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2 is $2,950.

Explanation:

Given the following:

Retained earnings at the end of Year 2 = $3,350

Revenue earned by the company in Year 2 = $3,600

Expenses paid during the period = $1,900

Dividends paid during the period = $1,300

Retained earning for year 2 = Revenue earned by the company in Year 2 - Expenses paid during the period - Dividends paid during the period = $3,600 - $1,900 - $1,300 = $400

Retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2 can be using the following formula:

Retained earnings at the end of Year 2 = Retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2 + Retained earning for year 2 .......... (1)

Substituting the values into equation (1) and sole for Retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2, we have:

$3,350 = Retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2 + $400

Retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2 = $3,350 - $400 = $2,950

Therefore, retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2 is $2,950.

Suver Corporation has a standard costing system. The following data are available for June: Actual quantity of direct materials
tatuchka [14]

Answer: $3.10

Explanation:

The actual price per pound of direct materials purchased in June will be calculated as follows:

Let the actual price be represented by x.

Material price variance is calculated as:

= (standard price-actual price) × actual quantity

-2000 = (3 × 20000) - 20000x

-2000 = 60000 - 20000x

20000x = 60000 + 2000

20000x = 62000

x = 62000/20000

x = 3.1

Therefore, the actual price per pound of direct material bought in June is $3.10
