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.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Explicit costs - $51,000

Explicit costs are those for which a person incurs in actual spending of money. In this case, Christine had to pay $15,000 in wages, and $36,000 in rent ($3,000 x 12). These are expenses that she had to pay money for, and that had to be accounted for in the accounting books, and in the financial statements. These are in other words, explicit costs.

Implicit costs - $40,000

Implicit costs are simply the opportunity costs. An opportunity cost is the cost of the next more valuable alternative when faced with two or more options. No money is paid for this costs. The implicit costs for Christine were the $40,000 that she not receive as wages if she had continued working at a real state firm.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

E.  $40.68

The computation of the stock worth today is shown below:

= (Dividend in year 1 ÷ 1 + required rate of return^number of years ) + (Dividend in year 2 ÷ 1 + required rate of return^number of years) + (Dividend in year 3 ÷ 1 + required rate of return^number of years)  + (Dividend in year 3 ÷ 1 + required rate of return^number of years) × (1 + growth rate) ÷ (required rate of return - growth rate)

= $1.2 ÷ 1.14 + $1.5 ÷ 1.14^2 + $2 ÷ 1.14^3 + $2 ÷ 1.14^3 × (1 + 10%) ÷ (14%-10%)

= $40.68

We simply applied the above formula

Diamonds and other jewels often carry a high price to convey an image of high quality or uniqueness. This type of pricing is kno
olchik [2.2K]
Prestige pricing is a unique pricing method involving products which would actually generate less overall profit at lower prices than higher prices. As long as the product is views by the public as being "prestigious," it will be in greater demand at the higher price. If the price were lowered, the public opinion of the product would be lower and the product would be seen as less desirable. This results in the product selling less at the lower price than at the higher price.
