Winter Co. is being sued for illness caused to local residents as a result of negligence on

the auditor's fieldwork was completed in April 2015, how should this casualty be reported?
a. As a note disclosing a possible liability of $4,000,000.
b. As an accrued liability of $400,000.
c. As a note disclosing a possible liability of $400,000.
d. No note disclosure of accrual is required for 2014 because the event occurred in 2015.

Ex. 13-151Premiums.
Edwards Co. includes one coupon in each bag of dog food it sells. In return for 4 coupons,
customers receive a dog toy that the company purchases for $1.20 each. Edwards's experience
indicates that 60 percent of the coupons will be redeemed. During 2014, 100,000 bags of dog
food were sold, 12,000 toys were purchased, and 40,000 coupons were redeemed. During 2015,
120,000 bags of dog food were sold, 16,000 toys were purchased, and 60,000 coupons were
redeemed.

40,000 4 = 10,000; 15,000 10,000 = 5,000; 5,000 $1.20 = $6,000.
120,000 .6 = 72,000; 72,000 4 = 18,000; 18,000 $1.20 = $21,600.
60,000 4 = 15,000; 5,000 + 18,000 15,000 = 8,000; 8,000 $1.20 = $9,600.

Ex. 13-152Provisions
The following situations relate to Washburn Company.
1. Washburn provides a warranty with all its products it sells. It estimates that it will sell
1,200,000 units of its product for the year ended December 31, 2015, and that its total
revenue for the product will be $100,000,000. It also estimates that 60% of the product will
have no defects, 30% will have major defects, and 10% will have minor defects. The cost of a
minor defect is estimated to be $5 for each product repaired, and the cost for a major defect
cost is $15. The company also estimates that the minimum amount of warranty expense will
be $2,500,000 and the maximum will be $12,000,000.
2. Washburn is involved in a tax dispute with the tax authorities. The most likely outcome of this
dispute is that Washburn will lose and have to pay $500,000. The minimum it will lose is
$25,000 and the maximum is $3,000,000.
3. Washburn has a policy of refunding purchases to dissatisfied customers, even though it is
under no obligation to do so. However, it has created a valid expectation with its customers to
continue this practice. These refunds can range from 5% of sales to 9% of sales, with any
amount in between a reasonable possibility. In 2015, Washburn has $50,000,000 of sales
subject to possible refund.
Instructions
Prepare the journal entry to record provisions, if any, for Washburn at December 31, 2015.

Ex. 13-153Contingent liabilities.
Below are three independent situations.
1. In August, 2015 a worker was injured in the factory in an accident partially the result of his
own negligence. The worker has sued Wesley Co. for $800,000. Counsel believes it is
possible but not probable that the outcome of the suit will be unfavorable and that the
settlement would cost the company from $250,000 to $500,000.
13 - 37
Ex. 13-153 (cont.)

2. A suit for breach of contract seeking damages of $2,400,000 was filed by an author against
Greer Co. on October 4, 2015. Greer's legal counsel believes that an unfavorable outcome is
probable. A reasonable estimate of the award to the plaintiff is between $600,000 and
$1,800,000. No amount within this range is a better estimate of potential damages than any
other amount.
3. Quinn is involved in a pending court case. Quinns lawyers believe it is probable that Quinn
will be awarded damages of $1,000,000.
Instructions
Discuss the proper accounting treatment, including any required disclosures, for each situation.
Give the rationale for your answers.
Solution 13-153
1.
Wesley Co. should disclose in the notes to the financial statements the existence of a
possible contingent liability related to the lawsuit. The note should indicate the range of the
possible loss. The contingent liability should not be accrued because the loss is possible, not
probable.
2. The probable award should be accrued by a charge to an estimated loss and a credit to an
estimated liability of $1,200,000. Greer Co. 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.
The accrual is made because it is probable that a liability has been incurred and a reasonable
estimate can be made of the obligation amount. The midpoint amount in the range of
possible losses is used when no amount is a better estimate than any other amount.
3.
Quinn should not record the contingent asset unless it is virtually certain. Usually, contingent
assets are neither accrued nor disclosed. The $1,000,000 contingent asset should be
disclosed because its outcome is considered probable.
