also one more doubt

During

2004, a former employee of Dane Co. began a suit against Dane for wrongful termination in

November 2003. After considering all of the facts, Dane's legal counsel believes that the former

employee will prevail and will probably receive damages of between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000, with

$1,300,000 being the most likely amount. Dane's financial statements for the year ended December 31,

2003, will not be issued until February 2004. In its December 31, 2003, balance sheet, what amount

should Dane report as a liability with respect to the suit?

a. $0

b. $1,000,000

c. $1,300,000

d. $1,500,000

Explanation

Choice "c" is correct.

37. CPAGridiron

Gridiron for the purpose of funding a "center for the study of sports ethics." This donation is conditional

estimate that they have a 50% chance of raising the additional money. How should this donation be

accounted for?

a. As a temporarily restricted support.

b. As unrestricted support.

c. As a refundable advance.

d. As a memorandum entry reported in the footnotes.

Explanation

Choice "c" is correct.

1. Using the cost method, you debit TS for the amount of the purchase. In this case, 70,000. You then sold half of the stock for 3 dollars more than you bought it for which would be a credit to APIC - TS for 15,000.

However, no gain or loss is recognized on treasury stock transactions. Just adjust equity is all.

2. Since we are speaking of a contingent liability, it is only booked when it is "more likely than not" that the loss will occur. Otherwise, it is merely disclosed. In this case, the lawsuit was a culmination of events existing as of the balance sheet date (lawsuit initiated in November 2003) and the problem says its "probable", so the most likely loss is to be booked. Think - conservatism.

3. Book value method goes like this:

The debt is 1,000,000. Accordingly, when converted, 100,000 par is credited and the difference in plugged to APIC - 900,000 (no gain or less). Honestly, if 800,000 had been answer, I'd have likely picked it. But, I guess the discount/premium doesn't apply. I need to look that up to make sure.

4. When money is received subject to a matching clause, it is not yours (revenue, either restricted or not) until you've raised the matching funds. As such, you owe the money back until you meet the conditions. If you never raise the money, you will likely owe the money back to the donor unless they change their mind.
