Answer:
(i) $1,295 Favorable
(ii) $3,744 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Actual price = Actual cost of materials ÷ Actual materials purchased
= $43,105 ÷ 3,700
= $11.65
Materials price variance = Actual Quantity (Actual Price - Standard Price)
= 3,700($11.65 - $12.00)
= $1,295 Favorable
Standard Quantity = Actual output × Standard quantity per unit of output
= 560 × 4.8
= 2,688
Materials quantity variance:
= Standard Price (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity)
= $12.00 (3,000 - 2,688)
= $3,744 Unfavorable

At the end of March, Paul’s Painting hired five temporary employees to work on a project that began on April 5 and ended on April 28. Paul’s received 100% of the total payment for the project on May 3. In this situation, both cash basis accounting and GAAP require that Paul’s recognize the employees’ total salary expense in April.

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.
