1. The proper accounting treatment for the following situations are: a. The Wesley Co.

should reveal in the notes of the existence of a possible contingent liability related to the lawsuit. The notes should signify the range of possible loss. The contingent liability should not be accrued because the loss is not credible. b. The Greer Co. should disclose in the notes to the financial statements, the nature of the contingency, the amount of the suit, the reason for the accrual, and the range of the possible loss. The accrual is made because it is probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The lowest amount of the range of possible losses is used when no amount is a better estimate than any other amount. A journal entry to show this loss should be recorded as: Debit $600 000 Credit $600 000

Loss in Legal Action Contingency Liability

c. The $1,000,000 gain contingency should be disclosed only if the probability, that it will be realized very high. In that Quinn should not record the gain contingency until it is realized, because normally gain contingencies are neither accrued nor disclosed. 2. (i).

4. (a). This is a sale-type lease to the lessor Hayes Corp. The reason for that being is firstly Hayes the manufacturers profit upon sale is $50 000, which is recognized in the year of sale that is in 2011. It is not operating lease because the title to the asset passes on to the lessee, the present value ($500 000) of the minimum lease payments equals or exceeds 90% ($400 000) of the fair value of the leased trailer. The collectability of the lease is reasonably assured, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the amount of un-reimbursable cost yet to be incurred by the lessor. The rest of the accounting treatment is similar to that of a direct-financing lease. (b). The annual lease payment is: present value 6 years at 8% Present value factor 6yrs at 8% =4.62288 Present value =Fair value of trailer number of trailers =$50 000 10

=$500 000

$500 000 4.62288 = $108 157.69 Therefore the annual lease payment to the nearest dollar is $108 158. (c). The lease amortization schedule for Hayes Corp. for the first three years is.

6.The following independent situations should be treated as: a. A temporary different. This is because the difference in the timing the revenue recognition for pretax financial income and taxable income will increase the pretax financial income, but will increase taxable income by the amount if deferred gross profit as the cash is collect in the subsequent years. If the estimate as to collectability of installment receivable is valid, the total amounts reported as gross profit for accounting purposes and for tax purposes will be equal over the life of a group of installments receivables. The amount of time lagging between the accrual for accounting purposes and the recognition for tax purposes will

result in credit entries to a companys deferred tax liability as long as installment sales are level or increasing. The credit entries related to installment receivables will be reversed thus when the receivables are collected. b. A permanent different. The difference in pretax financial income and taxable income will never reverse because present tax laws allows a company that own stock in another U.S. corporation to deduct 80%of the dividend its receives from that company. The taxes will not be paid on dividends deducted and there are no tax consequences for those dividends, even though they are recognized as income for book purposes. c. A temporary difference. The full estimated three years of warranty expenses reduce the current years pretax financial income, but will reduce taxable income in varying amounts each year as paid. If the estimate for each warranty is valid, the total amounts deducted for accounting and for tax purposes will be equal over the three year period for each warranty. This is an expense in the first period, hence reduces pretax financial income more than taxable income and in the later years reverses and reduces taxable income without affecting pretax financial income.
