Test Bank For Intermediate Accounting, Volume 2, Twelfth Canadian Edition

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Twelfth Canadian Edition CHAPTER 13 NON-FINANCIAL AND CURRENT LIABILITIES CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the importance of non-financial and current liabilities from a business perspective. Cash flow management is a key control factor for most businesses. Taking advantage of supplier discounts for prompt payment is one step companies can take. Control of expenses and related accounts payable can improve the efficiency of a business, and can be particularly important during economic downturns. 2. Define liabilities, distinguish financial liabilities from other liabilities, and identify how they are measured. Liabilities are defined as an obligation of an entity arising from past transactions or events that are settled through a transfer of economic resources in the future. The entity should have little (or no) ability to avoid the duty or responsibility. Financial liabilities are a subset of liabilities. They are contractual obligations to deliver cash or other financial assets to another party, or to exchange financial assets or liabilities with another party under conditions that are potentially unfavourable. Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently either at amortized cost or fair value. ASPE does not specify how non-financial liabilities are measured. However, unearned revenue is generally measured at the fair value of the goods or services to be delivered in the future, while others are measured at the best estimate of the resources needed to settle the obligation. Under IFRS, non-financial liabilities other than unearned revenue are measured at the best estimate of the amount the entity would rationally pay at the date of the SFP to settle the present obligation. 3. Define current liabilities and identify and account for common types of current liabilities. Current liabilities are obligations that are payable within one year from the date of the SFP or within the operating cycle if the cycle is longer than a year. IFRS also includes liabilities held for trading and any obligation where the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months after the date of the SFP. There are several types of current liabilities. The most common are accounts and notes payable, and payroll-related obligations. 4. Identify and account for the major types of employee-related liabilities. Employee-related liabilities include (1) payroll deductions, (2) compensated absences, and (3) profit-sharing and bonus agreements. Payroll deductions are amounts that are withheld from employees and result in an obligation to the government or another party. The employer’s matching contributions are also included in this obligation. Compensated absences earned by employees are company obligations that are recognized as employees earn an entitlement to them, as long as they can be reasonably measured. Bonuses based on income are accrued as an expense and liability as the income is earned. 5. Explain the recognition, measurement, and disclosure requirements for decommissioning and 13-1 Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. Unauthorized copying, distribution, or transmission of this page is prohibited Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Twelfth Canadian Edition restoration obligations. A decommissioning, restoration, or asset retirement obligation (ARO) is an estimate of the costs a company is obliged to incur when it retires certain assets. It is recorded as a liability and is usually long-term in nature. Under ASPE, only legal obligations are recognized. They are measured at the best estimate of the cost to settle them at the date of the SFP, and the associated cost is included as part of the cost of property, plant, and equipment. Under IFRS, both legal and constructive obligations are recognized. They are measured at the amount the entity would rationally pay to be relieved of the obligation, and are capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment or to inventory, if due to production activities. Over time, the liability is increased for the time value of money and the asset costs are amortized to expense. Entities disclose information about the nature of the obligation and how it is measured, with more disclosures required under IFRS than ASPE. 6. Explain the issues and account for product guarantees, other customer program obligations, and unearned revenue. Historically, an expense approach has been used to account for the outstanding liability, and this type of approach is still used for assurance-type warranties as initially discussed in Chapter 6. More recently, standards such as IFRS 15 have moved to a revenue approach for warranties that are not included in the sales price of the product (that is, for service-type warranties). Under the expense approach, the outstanding liability is measured at the cost of the economic resources needed to meet the obligation. The assumption is that, along with the liability that is required to be recognized at the reporting date, the associated expense needs to be measured and matched with the revenues of the period. Under the revenue approach, the outstanding liability is measured at the value of the obligation. The proceeds received for any goods or services yet to be delivered or performed are considered to be unearned revenue at the point of sale. Until the revenue is earned, the obligation— the liability—is reported at its sales or fair value. The liability is then reduced as the revenue is earned. More generally, when an entity receives proceeds in advance or for multiple deliverables, unearned revenue is recognized to the extent the entity has not yet performed. This is measured at the fair value of the remaining goods or services that will be delivered. When costs remain to be incurred in revenue transactions where the revenue is considered earned and has been recognized, estimated liabilities and expenses are recognized at the best estimate of the expenditures that will be incurred. This is an application of the matching concept. 7. Explain and account for contingencies and uncertain commitments, and identify the accounting and reporting requirements for guarantees and commitments. Under existing standards, a loss is accrued and a liability recognized if (1) information that is available before the issuance of the financial statements shows that it is likely (or more likely than not under IFRS) that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements, and (2) the loss amount can be reasonably estimated (under IFRS, it would be a rare situation where this could not be done). An alternative approach that may be required in new standards being considered by the IASB is described in the Looking Ahead section of the chapter. Guarantees in general are accounted for similarly to contingencies. Commitments, or contractual obligations, do not usually result in a liability at the date of the SFP. Information about specific types of outstanding commitments is reported at the date of the SFP. 13-2 Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. Unauthorized copying, distribution, or transmission of this page is prohibited Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Twelfth Canadian Edition 8. Indicate how non-financial and current liabilities are presented and analyzed. Current liability accounts are commonly presented as the first classification in the liability section of the SFP, although under IFRS, an alternative presentation is to present current assets and liabilities at the bottom of the statement. Within the current liability section, the accounts may be listed in order of their maturity or in order of their liquidation preference. IFRS requires information about and reconciliations of any provisions. Additional information is provided so that there is enough to meet the requirement of full disclosure. Information about unrecognized loss contingencies is reported in notes to the financial statements, including their nature and estimates of possible losses. Commitments at year end that are significant in size, risk, or time are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, with significantly more information required under IFRS. Three common ratios used to analyze liquidity are the current, acid-test, and days payables outstanding ratios. 9. Identify differences in accounting between IFRS and ASPE and what changes are expected in the near future. The IASB issued a new Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting in March 2018 that, among other things, provides clearer definitions of assets and liabilities, including more detailed guidance for interpreting the definitions. Accounting for a variety of liabilities, including contingencies, continues to be under review by the IASB. An Exposure Draft (ED) was issued in 2010 proposing amendments to the measurement requirements of IAS 37. However, due to the significant opposition expressed to the ED, the project was suspended. In June 2015, a Staff Paper entitled research—provisions, contingent liabilities, and contingent assets (IAS 37)—was published. Based on the research in the Staff Paper, the IASB is expected to decide whether to start an active project to amend IAS 37 now that revisions to the conceptual framework have been finalized. 13-3 Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.

Asbestos Corp. is being sued for illness caused to local residents as a result of negligence on the company’s part in permitting the local residents to be exposed to highly toxic chemicals. Asbestos’s lawyer states that it is likely the corporation will lose the suit and be found liable for a judgement which may cost Asbestos anywhere from $ 300,000 to $ 1,500,000. However, the lawyer states that the most likely cost is $ 900,000. As a result of the above facts, using ASPE, Asbestos should accrue a) a loss contingency of $ 300,000 and disclose an additional contingency of up to $ 1,200,000. b) a loss contingency of $ 900,000 and disclose an additional contingency of up to $ 600,000. c) a loss contingency of $ 900,000 but not disclose any additional contingency. d) no loss contingency but disclose a contingency of $ 300,000 to $ 1,500,000.

In August, 2020, a worker was injured in the factory in an accident partially the result of his own negligence. The worker has sued his employer, Prince Corp., for $ 500,000. Prince’s legal counsel believes it is possible that the outcome of the suit will be unfavourable and that the settlement would cost the company from $ 150,000 to $ 400,000. 2. On October 4, 2020, a lawsuit for breach of contract seeking damages of $ 2,400,000 was filed by an author against Queen Corp. Queen’s legal counsel believes that an unfavourable outcome is more likely than not. A reliable measurement of the award to the plaintiff is between $ 600,000 and $ 1,800,000. 3. King Ltd. is involved in a pending court case. King’s lawyers believe it is likely that King will be awarded damages of $ 700,000. Instructions Discuss the proper accounting treatment, including any required disclosures, for each situation. Give the rationale for your answers. Assume all companies involved use IFRS. Solution 13-85 1. Prince should disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, the existence of a possible contingent liability related to the law suit. The note should indicate the range of the possible loss. The contingent liability should not be accrued because the loss is only possible, not probable (as required by IFRS). 2. The likely award should be accrued by a debit to an estimated loss account and a credit to an estimated liability using the expected value method. Queen should disclose the following in the notes to the financial statements: the amount of the suit, the nature of the contingency, the reason for the accrual, and the range of the possible loss.

Solution 13-86 Current liabilities are obligations due within one year or the operating cycle where this is longer than one year from the statement of financial position date. The liquidation of a current liability is reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or the creation of other current liabilities. Theoretically, liabilities should be measured at the present value of the future outlay of cash required to liquidate them. In practice, current liabilities, other than borrowings, are usually recorded in accounting records and reported in financial statements at their full maturity value. There are several types of current liabilities, the most common being accounts and notes payable, sales taxes payable, and payroll-related obligations. Difficulty: Easy Learning Objective: Define liabilities, distinguish financial liabilities from other liabilities, and identify how they are measured.

(EFL) specializes in extracting ore. It prides itself for following high environmental standards in the extraction process. On January 1, 2016, EFL purchased the rights to use a parcel of land from the province of New Brunswick. The rights cost $ 15,000,000 and allowed the company to extract ore for five years, i.e., until Dec 31, 2020. EFL expects to extract the ore evenly over the contract period. At the end of the contract, EFL has one year to clean up and restore the land. EFL estimates this will cost $ 2,000,000. EFL uses a discounted cash flow method to calculate the fair value of this obligation and believes that 8% is the appropriate discount rate. EFL uses straight-line depreciation method. EFL uses the calendar year as its fiscal year and follows IFRS. As a helpful suggestion, students may want to draw a timeline of events before solving the questions given below. Instructions (Round all values to the nearest dollar.) a) Prepare the journal entries to be recorded on January 1, 2016. b) Prepare the journal entries to be recorded on December 31, 2016.

Show the amounts and accounts reported on the classified statement of financial position at December 31, 2020. d) After 2020, EFL was supposed to clean up and restore the land. Even though the company spent a considerable amount of money on restoration, it was sued by the province of New Brunswick for not following the contract’s requirements. On February 3, 2022, judgement was rendered against EFL for $ 3,000,000. The company claims that because the language in the contract was misleading regarding the restoration costs, it plans to appeal the judgement and expects the ruling to be reduced to anywhere between $ 1,000,000 and $ 2,000,000, with $ 1,500,000 being the probable amount. EFL has not yet released its 2021 financial statements. Discuss how EFL should report this matter on its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Unauthorized copying, distribution, or transmission of this page is prohibited Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Twelfth Canadian Edition between $ 1,500,000 and $ 3,000,000. However, a $ 3,000,000 judgement has already been rendered against them, while the reduction in the loss is uncertain. There are two legitimate approaches to this issue. The first approach is to record a loss of $ 1,500,000 for 2021 (since this amount is deemed probable) and to provide full disclosure in the notes about the ruling and the expected appeal. The second approach is that the firm has incurred a contingent loss of $ 3,000,000 and expects a contingent gain of $ 1,500,000. Because losses are recorded immediately and contingent gains are not, then EFL should record a loss of $ 3,000,000 for 2021 and provide full disclosure on the possible contingent gain.

Event 1: The Division A employees union has been negotiating a new contract with Yew Corp. The union is requesting a 5% wage increase retroactive for two years. Yew’s management has offered the union a 2% wage increase retroactive for one year. While the negotiations are still ongoing, the company believes that an agreement will soon be reached for a 4% wage increase retroactive for one year, but there is no guarantee that this will be the outcome of the negotiations. Event 2: The Division B employees union is also negotiating a new contract with Yew Corp. However, these negotiations are proving to be very tough. So far there has not been much progress and management is pessimistic about a quick resolution. The company is concerned that during 2021 the Division B employees will decide to go on strike; in fact, Yew considers it very likely. At this point it is difficult to assess the economic consequences of the potential strike. Event 3: Toward the end of 2020, a fire destroyed one of Yew’s plants. The damage is estimated to be $ 8,000,000 and the company’s insurance policy has maximum coverage of $ 15,000,000 for this. The deductible on the policy is $ 300,000. The company is concerned that the insurance premium ($ 200,000 in 2020) will double in 2021. 13-61 Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. Unauthorized copying, distribution, or transmission of this page is prohibited Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Twelfth Canadian Edition Instructions For each of the above events, state the accounting treatment you believe is most appropriate. Be specific, and give your rationale. Solution 13-96 Event 1: The event is more likely than not to happen and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Yew Corp. should accrue an additional expense for 2020 based on the most likely outcome of a 4% wage increase retroactive for one year. In the notes to the financial statements, they should provide the range for the potential expense (2-5%, 1-2 years). Event 2: If Yew Corp. considers this to be a contingent liability, note disclosure only would be appropriate, since the event is likely to happen but cannot be reasonably estimated. If they do not, then no disclosure is required. Event 3: The $ 300,000 deductible payment should be accrued in 2020 as a loss from fire.
