Chapter 9: Liabilities
Definition of liability
Probable future sacrifice of resources Represents an existing obligation Based on a past event or transaction Liability recognition often depends on the degree of uncertainty that the liability will be paid.
Liability Recognition
Obligations with fixed payment dates and amounts have very low uncertainty of future cash payment. Recognized as liabilities Examples: Notes payable, Bonds payable Obligations with fixed payment amounts but estimated payment dates have slightly higher uncertainty. Recognized as liabilities Examples: Accounts payable, Taxes payable
Liability Recognition
Obligations for which company must estimate both timing and amount of payment. A bit higher uncertainty. Recognized as liabilities Examples: Warranties obligations; pension obligations Obligations under mutually unexecuted contracts (executory contracts). Higher level of uncertainty. Not recognized as liabilities Examples: Purchase commitments Employment commitments
Liability Recognition
Some contingent obligations (cash outflows dependent on some future event that may not occur) have a great deal of uncertainty (probability of future cash outflow is reasonably possible but not likely. ) Not recognized as liability, discussed in notes Examples: Unsettled lawsuits Environmental clean up costs * * However, if probability of future cash outflow is likely and the amount can be estimated, a liability must be recognized. We will discuss the treatment of various contingent obligations.
Current Liabilities
Obligations which will be paid within one year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer, are classified as Current Liabilities. Accounts Payable Accrued Liabilities (e.g., rent payable, interest payable) Income Taxes Payable Payroll Liabilities Unearned Revenues Note Payable Current Portion of Long-term debt
Liabilities Example
On January 1, Year 1, Devon Mfg. borrows $25,000 cash from First Texas Bank and will repay the loan in three (3) equal payments of $10,053 per year each 12/31, beginning 12/31/Year 1. The loan has an annual interest rate of 10%.
At what amount should the loan be initially recognized on the balance sheet? 1/1/Yr 1 Cash 25,000 Note payable 25,000 What is the amount of the interest expense that will be recognized for the first year? How much of the note is a current liability on 12/31/Yr 1?
Interest expense for Year 1 Interest expense = beginning BV of note interest rate Year 1 interest expense = $25,000 10% = $2,500 12/31/Yr1 Interest expense Note payable Cash 2,500 7,553 10,053
What is the amount of the interest expense that will be recognized for the second and third years? What is the total amount of interest that Devon will pay over the life of the loan?
Long-term Liabilities
Long-term portion of: Long-term debt borrow from a bank or issue bonds Deferred Taxes Accrued Retirement Benefits (Pensions) Lease obligations (if a capital lease)
Contingent Liabilities
Probability of future sacrifice . . . Reasonably Probable Possible Remote Can be Estimated
Record the contingent liability. Disclose the liability in the notes to the financial stmts. Disclose the est. liability in the notes to the financial stmts. Disclose the liability in the notes to the financial stmts. No action.
Amount . . .
Cannot be Estimated
No action.
Warranty Example
During the year: Accounts receivable 280,000 Revenue 280,000 Warranty expense 2,000 Cash (or other assets)
2,000
At year end (adjusting entry): Total warranty expense = $280,000 x 4% = $11,200 Expense to be accrued = $11,200 $2,000 = $9,200 Warranty expense 9,200 Warranty liability 9,200
Current Ratio
Current assets Current ratio = Current liabilities
$130,000 Suppose our current ratio is 1.3 = $100,000
How can we improve it? If we have an extra $30,000 in cash or highly liquid investments, we could pay off some current liabilities. And the current ratio would increase to: $100,000 1.43 =
$70,000
= 365 AP Turnover
value of money changes over time because money can earn interest. The growth is a mathematical function of three variables:
The value today or amount invested. The growth rate, or interest rate. The length of time for growth.
value concept
The sum to which an amount will increase as the result of compound interest. Compounding (adding in the interest)
Present
value concept
The current value of an amount to be received in the future. Discounting (backing out the interest)
payment
A series of equal payments that accumulate over time and that each earn interest.

Annuities
Equal payments each period Note that payments can be made at the beginning or end of a period (your calculator has a BEG or END option)
End of period called an ordinary annuity
Beginning of period an annuity due
payments are made each period. The payments and interest accumulate over time.

What interest rate are you earning if you take the long term payout?
PV = ($12,462,200), PMT = $1,000,000, n = 20, FV=0, END
i=5%
You should take the lump sum payment and invest at 6%.
With a 6% return, the lump sum would provide higher annual payments. PV = ($12,462,200), i = 6%, n = 20, END PMT = $1,086,511
