9. Solution:

Sick leave - accumulating and

vesting 2
No. of employees 20
Total entitlement during the yr. 40

1
Less: Sick leaves taken (14)
No. of sick leaves carried forward 26
Multiply by: Future rate (500 x 103%) 515
Accrued liability - year-end 13,390

The vacation leaves are not accrued because they are non-accumulating and non-
vesting. Vacation leaves are recognized as expense when and as they are taken.

10. Solutions:

 Requirement (a):

Bonus before bonus and before tax

B = P x Br
o B = 200,000 x 2% = 4,000

 Requirement (b):

Bonus after bonus and before tax

P
B = P -
1 + Br
o B = 200,000 – [200,000 ÷ (1 + 2%)]
B = 3,922

 Requirement (c):

Bonus before bonus and after tax

1 – Tr
B = P x
1/Br – Tr
o B = 200,000 x {(1 - 30%) ÷ [(1÷2%) - 30%]}
B = 200,000 x (0.7 ÷ 49.7) = 2,817

 Requirement (d):

Bonus after bonus and after tax

1 - Tr
B = P x
1/Br - Tr + 1

2
 o B = 200,000 x {(1 + 30%) ÷ [(1÷2%) - 30% + 1]}
B = 200,000 x (0.7 ÷ 50.7) = 2,761

2. Solutions:

 Requirement (a):

Bonus before bonus and before tax

B = P x Br
o B = 1,800,000 x 12% = 216,000

 Requirement (b):

Bonus after bonus and before tax

P
B = P -
1 + Br
o B = 1,800,000 – [1,800,000 ÷ (1 + 12%)]

 Requirement (c):

Bonus before bonus and after tax

1 – Tr
B = P x

 Requirement (d):

3. Solution:

Bonus after bonus and after tax

1 - Tr
B = P x
1/Br - Tr + 1
o 44,000 = P x {(1 – 30%) ÷ [(1 ÷ 14%) – 30% + 1]}
44,000 = P x [(0.70) ÷ (7.14 – 0.30 + 1)]
44,000 = P x (0.70 ÷ 7.843)
44,000 = P x .089
P = 44,000 ÷ .089
P = 494,382

4. Solution:

Plan A:
 (8% Bonus based on profit after bonus but before taxes)

Bonus after bonus and before tax

P
B = P -
1 + Br
o B = 100,000 – [100,000 ÷ (1 + 8%)]
B = 7,407

Plan B:
 (12% Bonus based on profit after bonus and taxes)
Bonus after bonus and after tax

1 - Tr
B = P x
1/Br - Tr + 1

o B = 100,000 x {(1 + 30%) ÷ [(1÷12%) - 30% + 1]}

B = 7,749

PROBLEM 6: MULTIPLE CHOICE – COMPUTATIONAL

1. C
Solution:
Liability for accumulated vacations at 12/31/X5 35,000
Pre-20X6 accrued vacations taken from 1/1/X6 to 9/30/X6 (20,000)
Liability to be carried over to the next period 15,000
Multiply by: Increase in salary level in Oct. 20x6 10%
Additional liability due to the increase in salary level 1,500
Vacations earned in 20X6 (adjusted to current rates) 30,000
Vacation pay expense in 20x6 31,500

2. B
 Ryan: (800 x 2) = 1,600. None is accrued for Todd because his
vacation rights neither vest nor accumulate.

3. C
Solution:
Excess of
Sales Commission (Net sales Advances commission over
person x %) (Fixed salary) advances
A (200K x 4%) = 8,000 10,000 -
B (400K x 6%) = 24,000 14,000 10,000
C (600K x 6%) = 36,000 18,000 18,000
Commission payable 28,000

4. C
Solution:
Sick leaves taken (6 employees x 3 days x ₱100) 1,800
Vacation days earned during the yr.
(6 employees x 10 days x ₱100) 6,000

7
Total compensated absences expense 7,800

5. D
Solution:
Vacation days available at year-end 150
Multiply by: Average salary per day 100
Adjusted liability for compensated absences 15,000

No liability is recognized for the non-vesting (non-monetized) sick days. These are
expensed when actually taken.

6. D
o (110,000 + 80,000) = 190,000
Solution:

Bonus after bonus and before tax

P
B = P -
1 + Br

7. B
o (320,000 – 100,000) – [(320,000 – 100,000) ÷ (1 + 10%)]
B = 20,000

8. D
Solution:

Bonus after bonus and after tax

1 - Tr
B = P x
1/Br - Tr + 1

o B = 400,000 x {(1 + 30%) ÷ [(1÷10%) - 30% + 1]}

B = 26,158

9. C
Solution:
Bonus before bonus and after tax

1 – Tr
B = P x
1/Br – Tr
o B = 400,000 x {(1 - 30%) ÷ [(1÷10%) - 30%]}
