Situation 1: A company offers a one-year warranty for the product that it manufactures. A history of warranty claims has been co

mpiled, and the probable amounts of claims related to sales for a given period can be determined. Situation 2: Subsequent to the date of a set of financial statements but prior to the issuance of the financial statements, a company enters into a contract that will probably result in a significant loss to the company. The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Situation 3: A company has adopted a policy of recording self-insurance for any possible losses resulting from injury to others by the company’s vehicles. The premium for an insurance policy for the same risk from an independent insurance company would have an annual cost of $4,000. During the period covered by the financial statements, there were no accidents involving the company’s vehicles that resulted in injury to others. Discuss the accrual or type of disclosure necessary (if any) and the reason(s) why such disclosure is appropriate for each of the three independent sets of facts above.

Answer:

Please find the detailed explanation below.

Situation 1 and 2 have disclosure while situation 3 does not require any disclosure.

Explanation:

Situation 1. Accrual. The one-year warranty has created what is known as contingent liability. Contingent liability is a type of liability that is dependent on the outcome of some specific actions which has happened in the past. The eventual liability may or may not happen. But since the probable claim from the one-year warranty has been determined, it should be disclosed. But if the claim cannot be determined, it shouldn't be disclosed.

Situation 2. Since this contract happened before the issuance of financial statement and the amount of loss from this contract can be reasonably estimated or determined, then it must be disclosed and the likely amount must also be disclosed. This disclosure will be under 'note to the financial statement'.

Situation 3. This is a self insurance and self insurance is not an insurance. There is no contingent liability in this situation. Also, there is no accident, no injury. Hence, this is no disclosure here.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

The Accounting Equation is As follows:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholder's Equity

Statement (a)

With the cash collected there will be increase in assets by $6,700

And with the recognition of revenue there will be increase in stockholder's equity as retained earnings will increase by the amount $6,700,

Assets increase $6,700  = Liabilities + Stockholder's equity increase $6,700.

Statement (b)

Revenue is recognized and with that retained earnings will increase, and accordingly stockholder's equity will also increase by $5,200,

As the cash is not realized now, accounts receivables increase and accordingly, assets increase by $5,200.

Statement (c)

Cash paid as wages will reduce cash and accordingly assets by $2,000,

Also , with the recognition of expense, retained earnings will reduce and accordingly stockholder's equity will reduce by $2,000.

Statement (d)

This will increase the cash and decrease the accounts receivable by $2,600.

Thus on the assets side there will be + $2,600 and - $2,600 making it neutral.

No effect on the right side, as net effect on left side of equation = 0

Statement (e)

Cash paid for cleaning expense will decrease assets by $940,

And also this will decrease retained earnings and accordingly stockholder's equity will decrease by $940.

Consider the market for orange juice. Suppose two events occurred last week. During the course of this past week, the price of o
True [87]

Answer:

these two events would lead to an increase in equilibrium quantity and have an indeterminate effect on equilibrium price

Explanation:

As a result of the decrease in the price of oranges which is use in the production of orange juice, there would be a rightward shift of the supply curve for orange juice. A a result,  the supply of orange juice would increase and price of orange juice would fall

Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.

The doubling of the price of coke would lead to a decrease in the demand for coke and an increase in the demand for orange juice. This would shift the dead curve for orange juice to the right. As a result,  both equilibrium price and quantity increases

these two events would lead to an increase in equilibrium quantity and have an indeterminate effect on equilibrium price
