At December 31, 2016, Parker Petroleums liabilities include the following:

1. $22 million of 10% notes are due on March 31, 2020. A debt covenant
requires Parker to maintain current assets at least equal to 150% of its
current liabilities. On December 31, 2016, Parker is in violation of this
covenant. Parker obtained a waiver from City Corp Bank until June 2017,
having convinced the bank that the companys normal 2 to 1 ratio of current
assets to current liabilities will be reestablished during the first half of 2017.
2. $9 million of noncallable 13% bonds were issued for $9 million on September
30, 1978. The bonds mature on August 31, 2017. Sufficient cash is
expected to be available to retire the bonds at maturity.
3. $15 million of 10% bonds were issued for $15 million on June 30, 1990. The
bonds mature on June 30, 2022, but bondholders have the option of calling
(demanding payment on) the bonds on June 30, 2017. However, the call
option is not expected to be exercised, given prevailing market conditions.
Required:
What portion of the debt can be excluded from classification as a current liability
(that is, reported as a noncurrent liability)? Explain.
Safe-Loc Security Door Corp. introduced a new line of commercial security

doors in 2016 that carry a four-year warranty against manufacturer's defects.

expenditures for the first year of selling the product were:
Actual warranty
Sales expenditures
$7,500,000 $124,800
Required:
1. Does this situation represent a loss contingency? Why or why not? How
should it be accounted for?
2. Prepare journal entries that summarize sales of the security doors (assume all
credit sales) and any aspects of the warranty that should be recorded during
2016.
3. What amount should Safe-Loc report as a liability at December 31, 2016?

rate?
Finley Roofing is involved with several situations that possibly involve

contingencies. Each is described below. Finleys fiscal year ends December 31,
and the 2016 financial statements are issued on March 20, 2017.
1. Finley is involved in a lawsuit resulting from a dispute with a customer. On
January 25, 2017, judgment was rendered against Finley in the amount of $34
million plus interest, a total of $36 million. Finley plans to appeal the
judgment and is unable to predict its outcome though it is not expected to
have a material adverse effect on the company.
2. At March 20, 2017, the EPA is in the process of investigating possible
environmental violations at one of Finleys work sites, but has not proposed a
deficiency assessment. Management feels an assessment is reasonably
possible, and if an assessment is made an unfavorable settlement of up to $15
million is reasonably possible.
3. Finley is the plaintiff in a $80 million lawsuit filed against AA Asphalt for
damages due to lost profits from rejected contracts and for unpaid receivables.
The case is in final appeal and legal counsel advises that it is probable that
Finley will prevail and be awarded $75 million.
4. In October 2015, the State of Montana filed suit against Finley, seeking civil
penalties and injunctive relief for violations of environmental laws regulating
hazardous waste. On February 3, 2017, Finley reached a settlement with state
authorities. Based upon discussions with legal counsel, the Company feels it
is probable that $55 million will be required to cover the cost of violations.
Finley believes that the ultimate settlement of this claim will not have a
material adverse effect on the company.
Required:
1. Determine the appropriate means of reporting each situation. Explain your
reasoning.
2. Prepare any necessary journal entries and disclosure notes.
