This ratio provides information about an almost worst-case situation—the firm’s ability to meet its current obligations even if none of the inventory can be sold. As a rule of thumb, an acid-test ratio of 1.0 is considered indicative of adequate liquidity.

19. Slide 19 13-19 Salaries, Commissions, and Bonuses Compensation expenses such as salaries, commissions, and bonuses are liabilities at the balance sheet date if earned but unpaid. These accrued expenses/accrued liabilities are recorded with an adjusting entry prior to preparing financial statements.

20. Slide 20 13-20 Vacations, Sick Days, and Other Paid Future Absences Sick pay quite often meets the conditions for accrual, but accrual is not mandatory because future absence depends on future illness, which usually is not a certainty. An employer should accrue an expense and the related liability for employees’ compensation for future absences (such as vacation pay) if the obligation meets all four of these conditions: 1.The obligation is for services already performed. 2.The paid absence can be taken in a later year—the benefit vests or the benefit can be accumulated over time. 3.Payment is probable. 4.The amount can be reasonably estimated.

26. Slide 26 13-26 A Closer Look at the Current and Noncurrent Classification Current maturities of long-term obligations are usually reclassified and reported as current liabilities if they are payable within the upcoming year (or operating cycle, if longer than a year). Debt that is callable (due on demand) by the lender in the coming year, (or operating cycle, if longer than a year) should be classified as a current liability, even if the debt is not expected to be called.

29. Slide 29 13-29 Contingencies Two factors affect whether a loss contingency must be accrued and reported as a liability: 1.the likelihood that the confirming event will occur. 2.whether the loss amount can be reasonably estimated. Two factors affect whether a loss contingency must be accrued and reported as a liability: 1.the likelihood that the confirming event will occur. 2.whether the loss amount can be reasonably estimated.

30. Slide 30 13-30 Contingencies – Likelihood of Occurrence Probable A confirming event is likely to occur. Reasonably Possible The chance the confirming event will occur is more than remote, but less than likely. Remote The chance the confirming event will occur is slight. Probable A confirming event is likely to occur. Reasonably Possible The chance the confirming event will occur is more than remote, but less than likely. Remote The chance the confirming event will occur is slight.

31. Slide 31 13-31 Contingencies A loss contingency is accrued only if a loss is probable and the amount can reasonably be estimated.

32. Slide 32 13-32 Product Warranties and Guarantees Product warranties inevitably entail costs. The amount of those costs can be reasonably estimated using commonly available estimation techniques. The estimate requires the following adjusting journal entry: Product warranties inevitably entail costs. The amount of those costs can be reasonably estimated using commonly available estimation techniques. The estimate requires the following adjusting journal entry:

33. Slide 33 13-33 Warranty Expenses Incurred During Period When a cost is incurred during the period between the sale and the adjusting entry to record warranty liability and expense, most firms will debit the warranty expense account and credit cash, inventory, or accounts payable depending on how repairs are made. These costs reduce the adjusting entry for the estimated liability at the end of the period. DemoProblem.docx

The related revenue is not earned until:  Claims are made against the extended warranty, or  The extended warranty period expires. Extended warranties are sold separately from the product.

41. 13 - 41 U.S. GAAP vs. IFRS Liabilities payable within the coming year are classified as long ‐ term liabilities if refinancing is completed before date of issuance of the financial statements. Liabilities payable within the coming year are classified as long ‐ term liabilities if refinancing is completed before the balance sheet date. Classification of Liabilities to be Refinanced

42. 13 - 42 U.S. GAAP vs. IFRS Defines probable as more likely than not, a lower threshold than U.S. GAAP. Refers to accrued liabilities as provisions and non-accrued as contingent liabilities. Requires use of midpoint of a range of equally likely outcomes. Requires reporting present values when material. Defines probable as an event is likely to occur. Refers to both accrued and non-accrued obligations as contingent liabilities. Requires use of low end of a range of equally likely outcomes. Allows using present value under some circumstances.
