- Constant Company is being sued for P4, 000,000 for an injury caused to a child as a result of alleged negligence while the child was visiting the Constant Company plant in March 2018. The suit was filed in July 2018. Constant’s lawyer states that it is probable that Constant will lose the suit and be found liable for a judgement costing anywhere from P400, 000 to P2, 000,000. However the lawyer states that the most probable judgement is P1, 000,000. Instructions:How should Constant report the suit in its 2018 financial statements. Discuss the rationale for your answer. Include in your disclosures, if any, that should be made in Constant’s financial statementsBubble Candies is being sued by a customer for $2 million for breach of contract over a cancelled order. Bubble Candies has obtained legal opinion that there is a 20% chance that Bubble Candies will lose the case. Accordingly Bubble Candies has provided $400,000 ($2 million × 20%) in respect of the claim. The unrecoverable legal costs of defending the action are estimated at $100,000. These have not been provided for as the case will not go to court until next year. What is the amount of the provision that should be made by Bubble Candies in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets ? Select one alternative A. $2,000,000 B. $2,100,000 C. $500,000 D. $100,0008 A customer is suing Ephiyu Company for P550,000 in damages because her child was injured in November 2022 while riding an escalator that stopped suddenly in one of its state-of-the-art stores in Makati. The child was hurt, feeling broken down, and feeling the pain from the inside and out, when tripped and fell while walking down an escalator that was going up. Legal counsel feels that the child is partially at fault, and so deserves all the pain, but that it is probable that the lawsuit will be settled for between P250,000 and P550,000, with the following likely outcome: 30% to be settled at P250,000; 45% to be settled at P340,000 and 25% to be settled at P550,000. How much provision for damages shall be included in the liability section as of December 31, 2022?
- Liquids Ltd make juices and ice lollies for the children’s market. At a birthday party in October 2019 where its products were served a child had a severe allergic reaction to one of the juices. The company has already incurred R20 000 in medical costs, with the final hospital bill for the child estimated to be R65 000. It is also being sued by the parents of the child for negligence. Liquid Ltd.’s lawyers have indicated that the company will more than likely lose the case. The lawyers have estimated that the damages could be R800 000. The directors of Liquid Ltd thus decided at a meeting on 1 November 2019 that they would close three of their outlets in Tshwane and concentrate on business in the Western Cape. These three outlets had been operating at a loss for the past six months, and are expected to continue operating at a loss until they are closed. Two new outlets will be opened in the Western Cape. After preparing a detailed five‐year budget which shows that the decision will be…SRJ Bhd (SRJ) has two divisions in two different business segments. The first division is in the medical devices manufacturing business. In July 2020, the company was presented with a lawsuit by a group of customers. The customers claimed that SRJ has provided them with inaccurate blood glucose readers that have jeopardised their health and life. Based on the evidence and advice by the company’s legal team, it is possible for SRJ to lose the lawsuit. However, until the end of December 2020, the timing and amount of the lawsuit is yet to be estimated. The next proceeding shall be proceeded in the year 2021. The second division of SRJ is located in country B. The main business activity of this division is producing manual transmission for car industry. However, due to changes of consumers’ preference toward automatic transmission car and lack of demand on manual transmission vehicles, the company is planning to close the division to avoid future losses. The board of directors has…RM Company, owner of RM Mall, charges Hope Clothing Store, a rental fee of P60, 000 per month plus 5% yearly profits over P5, 000,000. Jacob, the owner of the store, directs his accountant Jun Reyes, to increase the estimate of bad debt expense and warranty costs in order to keep profits at P4, 750,000. Instructions:Should Jun Reyes follow his boss’ directive? Who is harmed if the estimates are increased?
- Contingencies Fallon Company, a toy manufacturer that also operates several retail outlets, is preparing its December 31, 2019, financial statements. It has identified the following legal situations that may qualify as contingencies: A customer is suing the company for 800,000 in damages because her child was injured in November 2019 while riding an escalator that stopped suddenly in one of its stores. The child was hurt when he tripped and fell while walking down an escalator that was going up. Legal counsel feels that the child is partially at fault, but that it is probable that the lawsuit will be settled for between SO,000 and 100,000, with 80,000 being the most likely amount. Fallon has discovered that a skateboard it began manufacturing and selling in 2019 has defective bearings, sometimes causing a wheel to fall off. Fallon has issued a recall notice in newspapers and magazines in which it offers to replace the bearings. It estimates a cost of 200,000 for these repairs. No lawsuits have been filed for injury claims, although the company feels that there is a reasonable possibility that claims may total as high as 2 million. Fallon has an incinerator behind one of its retail outlets which is used to burn cardboard boxes received in shipments of inventory from suppliers. The state environmental protection agency filed suit against the company in August 2019 for air pollution. Fallon expects to stop using the incinerator and begin recycling. However, its lawyers believe that it is probable that a fine of between 40,000 and 60,000 will be levied against the company, although they cannot predict the exact amount. In early 2019, Fallon signed a contract with a computer vendor to install state of the art cash registers in all of its retail outlets. Because of the vendors inability to acquire sufficient cash registers, the vendor canceled the contract. Fallon has filed a breach of contract suit against the vendor, claiming 300,000 in damages. The companys lawyers expect that it will settle the suit out of court for 150,000. Required: Next Level For each situation, prepare the journal entry (if any) on December 31, 2019, to record the information for Fallon, and explain your reasoning. If no journal entry is recorded, explain how the information would be disclosed in Fallons 2019 annual report.
