CHAPTER 1: LIABILITIES
- Liability is a Present Obligation to PAY CASH, TRANSFER NON-CASH
ASSETS, and/or PROVIDE SERVICE at some future time that an entity has
no practical way to avoid.
- Liable entity must be identified but the payee is not that necessary to be
identified
- SHARE DIVIDEND PAYABLE is NOT A LIABILITY but instead a PART OF
EQUITY because share capital is an EQUITY ITEM
- Estimated Liabilities are still liabilities. Can either be current or non-
current.
- Example of Current Liabilities
o Bank Overdraft
o Financial Liabilities held for trading
o Dividends Payable
o Income Tax Payable
o Non-trade Payables due within one year.
o Interest Payable (Ka double entry ng Interest Expense)
o Deferred Tax Liability
o Premium Liability
o Container’s Deposit
o Refundable Deposit
o Escrow Liability
o NOTE: Claims for pending lawsuit and Possible obligations are
examples of contingent Liability. Different from Estimated Liability
which means they are not considered as Current Liabilities.
- Debit Balances in Supplier’s Account
o Treated as Accounts Receivable
o Considered as Current Asset
o Cannot be offset with other Accounts Payable
- Example of Non-Current Liabilities
o Long-Term Loans
o Bonds Payable (Usually)
o Mortgage Payable
- Non-current liabilities may turn Current Liabilities if after the reporting
period, it is to be settled within 12 months
- Refinancing or rescheduling
o Current Liability
Agreement happened after reporting period and before
financial statement are issued.
Right to defer settlement for at least 12 months doesn’t
exist or else there is no potential to refinance.
Refinancing/rescheduling are within 12months after the
reporting period
o Non-current Liability
Agreement happened on or before the reporting period.
Will be treated like an adjustment in account.
Right to defer settlement for at least 12 months doesn’t
exist or else there is no potential to refinance.
Refinancing/rescheduling must be at least 12 months after
the reporting period.
- Covenants represent the undertaking/pledge of the borrowers.
o These are actually restrictions for further borrowings, paying
dividends and so on.
o If there is a breach then the liability is Payable on Demand and it
becomes a Current Liability even if the lender does not want to
demand payment after the breach.
The entity now has no right to defer settlement that’s why it
is classified as Current Liability.
o If the lender agreed on or before the reporting period to provide
grace period to settle payment
Ending at least twelve months then it is classified as Non-
Current.
o If the lender agreed on or before the reporting period to provide
grace period to rectify breach
Ending within 12 months but the original term is more than
12 months after the reporting period then it is still classified as
Current Liability
Grace Period is a period which the entity can Rectify the
breach or Settle payment during which the lender cannot ask
for an immediate payment.
- Bonus Computation (Refer to Valix 2021 after reading each variation)
o AFTER MEANS NEED TO BE SUBTRACTED BEFORE COMPUTING
THE BONUS
o Before Bonus, Before Tax
Bonus Rate x Income = Bonus
o After Bonus, Before Tax
B = BR(Income – B)
Apply Rule of Transposition
(Shortcut)
Add 100% to given rate then divide to Income before bonus
and before tax = Income After Bonus Before Tax
The goal is to separate the bonus from the given income
Income After Bonus Before Tax multiplied by Bonus Rate =
Bonus.
o After Bonus, After Tax
B = BR(Income – B – TR(Income – B)
Apply Rule of Transposition
(Shortcut)
Bonus Rate less bonusrate% of Tax Rate + 100% then divide to
Income before bonus and before tax = Income after Bonus but
before tax
Income after Bonus but before Tax multiplied to tax rate = Tax
Income after Bonus but before Tax less tax = Income after
bonus after tax
The goal is to separate the bonus and the tax from the
given income
Income after bonus after tax multiplied by Bonus rate =
Bonus
o After Tax, Before Bonus
B = BR(Income – TR(Income – Bonus)
Apply Rule of Transposition
o NOTE: In division of percentage, Below 100% the quotient will result
to an increase in the dividend while above 100% will result to a
decrease in dividend
- Refundable Deposits
o Cash or Property from customers that is refundable after meeting
certain conditions like returnable bottles, etc.
o Containers’ deposit is classified as current liability which is simply
refunded if the container is returned.
o If the customer fails to return then it would be considered as Gain on
the container’s deposit.
- Terms
o Defer – To postpone
o Evenly – To part equally, yearly or monthly. Depending on situation.
o Forfeited – Cancelled or Surrendered
o Escrow Deposits – Payment for real estate taxes
CHAPTER 2: PREMIUM LIABILITY
- Premiums or Promos
- Additional transfer of benefit to promote marketing and to help sales
growth.
o Account Titles Used
Premiums – Premiums redeemed
Premium Expense –
Capital Cost to buy the premium less
remittance/reimbursement if there’s any.
Equivalent to total coupons to be redeemed less
remittance.
Estimated Premium Liability – Outstanding Premium at year-
end.
o Formula
Estimated Coupons to be redeemed – Coupons distributed x
redemption rate
Coupons Outstanding = Estimated Coupon to be redeemed -
Coupon Redeemed
Premiums to be distributed = Coupon
Outstanding/Requirement to redeem
Premium Expense per product = Premium Cost + Distribution
Cost (If there’s any) – Remittance (If there’s any) x Estimated
Premiums to be Redeemed
Estimated Premium Liability = Premiums to be distributed x
premium expense per product
Premium Expense if Redemption Rate is given
Premium Expense = Premium Cost + Distribution Cost
(If there’s any) – Remittance (If there’s any) x Estimated
Premiums to be Redeemed
Premium Expense if Redemption Rate is NOT given
1st Year
o Premium Expense = Premium Cost +
Distribution Cost (If there’s any) – Remittance (If
there’s any) x (Premiums Distributed +
Premiums to be distributed)
2nd Year
o Premium Expense = Premium Cost +
Distribution Cost (If there’s any) – Remittance (If
there’s any) x (Premiums Distributed +/- Excess
of Premiums to be distributed from first year)
Estimated Premium Liability if NOT EXPECTED
Estimated Premium Liability, beginning + Estimated
Premium Liability during the year = Estimated Premium
Liability, Ending
Estimated Premium Liability if EXPECTED
Expected Premium to be distributed x Premium
Expense per product
o Financial statement Classification
Current Assets:
Premium – Product Name
o Premiums Purchased Less Premiums Redeemed
Current Liability:
Estimated Premium Liability
Distribution Cost

- Free Product Coupon (Based on products price)
o Giving rights like this, customer in effect pays the seller in advance for
future deliveries
Should be satisfied by the delivery or transfer of goods
Another option is coupons for free products, discount and
rebate.
o Account Titles Used
Sales – Value of the sold products
Deferred Revenue – Value of premium
o Formula
Free Products Outstanding = Coupons distributed/Required
Coupons per product
Total Selling Price = Free products Outstanding x Selling price
per product
Stand-Alone Selling Price of free products = Total Selling Price
x Expected Redemption
Stand-alone selling price of the product = Products sold x
Selling price per product.
Add the stand-alone selling price of products sold and free
products to be distributed then allocate to get the actual sales
value and value allocated for free products.
Deferred Revenue = Free products to be distributed – Free
products distributed/ Free products to be distributed x
Allocated price for free products.
o Note: Deferred Revenue of the current period is the sales revenue or
an additional to the sales revenue of the next period when the
delivery/redemption takes place
- Discount Coupon (Based on product discount in percentage)
o Formula
Amount of future purchase= Average Price of future purchase x
Issued discount Coupons
Discount on Future Purchase = Amount of future purchase x
Discount Percentage
Stand-Alone Selling Price of Coupons = Expected Redemption x
Discount on Future Purchases
Add the stand-alone selling price of products sold and
distributed discount coupon then allocate to get the actual
products sold and allocated value for discount coupons
Cash Received = Issued Discount Coupons x redemption rate x
average price x (100 – discount percentage)
Sales Revenue = Cash Received + Allocated value for discount
coupons
o Note: Deferred Revenue of the current period is the sales revenue or
an additional to the sales revenue of the next period when the
delivery/redemption takes place
- Rebate Coupons (Based product rebates [Whole Amount])
o Also known as Refund Liability
o Formula
Discount on Future Purchase = Amount of future purchase x
Discount Per Coupon
Stand-Alone Selling Price of Coupons = Expected Redemption x
Discount on Future Purchases
Add the stand-alone selling price of products sold and
distributed rebate coupons then allocate to get the actual
products sold and allocated value for rebate coupons
Rebate Liability, End – Stand Alone Selling Price of
Coupons – Reimbursement
o Note: Deferred Revenue of the current period is the sales revenue or
an additional to the sales revenue of the next period when the
delivery/redemption takes place
- Customer Loyalty Program
o Definition
Sales Promotion
Loyalty Building
Retention of Valuable Customers
Rewards customers from Past Purchases

Accounted/Treated as Future Delivery of Services/Goods
o Measurement
Separate Component of initial sale transaction
Allocation of value of award credits(points) and sales
o Recognition
Allocated Value are initially Deferred Revenue and
subsequently recognized as Revenue after redemption
Recognition and Calculation of revenue is a Cumulative Basis.
o Formula
Stand Alone Selling Price = Points Distributed x Estimated
Value per points
Add the stand-alone selling price of points and products sold
then allocate to get the actual sales value and allocated value
for points.
Estimated Points to be redeemed – Points Distributed x
Redemption Rate
First Year
Revenue Earned = Points Redeemed/Estimated Points
to be Redeemed x Allocated Value for Points
Subsequent Year
If there is no change in Redemption Rate
o Revenue Earned = Points Redeemed this
year/Estimated Points to be Redeemed x
Allocated Value for Points – Distribution Cost (if
there’s any)
If there is a change in Redemption Rate
o Revenue Earned = Points Redeemed this year +
Points Redeemed Last Year/New Estimated
Points to be Redeemed x Allocated Value for
Points – Revenue recognized Last Year –
Distribution Cost (if there’s any)
- Gift Certificates
o Usually Non-refundable
o Can be sold by stores
o Non-redemption means breakage
Breakage should be recognized as revenue
o Formula:
Estimated Redemption = Certificates distributed – Expected
Value of Breakage
Breakage Revenue = Certificates redeemed/Estimated
Redemption x Value of Breakage
Deferred Revenue – Estimated Redemption – Breakage
Revenue – Certificates Redeemed
CHAPTER 3: WARRANTY LIABILITY
o Definition
Guarantee policy if a defective product is proven
Free Repair Service or Replacement
o Recognition of Warranty Policy/Provision
Products sold prove to be defective in the future within a
specified period of time
- Warranty Expense Approaches
o Accrual Approach
Definition
Matches cost with revenue
Estimated Warranty Cost is Accrued
Classification
If it runs more than 1 year – A portion will be Current
and the rest is non-current as per the condition of the
problem
If within 1 year – Whole Portion is Current
Account Titles Used
Warranty Expense
Estimated Warranty Liability
Measurement
Actual warranty cost is analyzed to validate the original
estimate
If actual cost exceeds the estimated
o Increase in Warranty Expense
o Charged to warranty Expense if via entry
If actual cost is less than the estimate
o Decrease in Warranty Expense (Equivalent to
ending Warranty Liability)
Formula
Estimated Sets to be returned = Units sold x Return Rate
Estimated Warranty Cost = Estimated sets to be
returned x estimated warranty cost per set
Estimated Warranty Liability, Ending = Estimated
Warranty, Beginning + Estimated Warranty Expense –
Warranty Expense Incurred
Note: Warranty Expense is equivalent to Estimated
Warranty Expense since incurred/expenditure is the
term used for the recognized expense
Ending Warranty Liability of the first year is the
Beginning Warranty Liability of the subsequent year
Testing the accuracy of Warranty Liability
Definition
o Determination whether the actual warranty cost
approximates the estimate
o To Determine the adjustment needed in year-
end
Formula
o Total Warranty Rate = 1st year warranty rate +
2nd year warranty rate and so on
o Total Warranty Expense = Total Warranty Rate
x Sales
o Estimated Warranty Liability per book =
Warranty Expense – Actual Warranty Expense
Sales made Evenly
Definition
o Even portions of sales recorded in subsequent
periods
Formula
o Warranty Expense per contract year =
Sales/no. of contract years x Warranty Rate of
current year x months covered (Usually 12
months or 6months)
o Estimated Warranty Liability = All Outstanding
warranty liability after the last contract year
o If difference is Positive
Increase in Warranty Liability =
Estimated Warranty Liability – Estimated
Warranty Liability per book
o If difference is Negative
Decrease in Warranty Liability =
Estimated Warranty Liability – Estimated
Warranty Liability per book
Expense as Incurred Approach
Definition
Recognizing Expense only when incurred
Justified on the basis of expediency (convenient and
practical yet improper)
Usually use when warranty cost is not very substantial
Usually use when warranty period is relatively short
Classification
Since it’s only justified on a short-term warranty, it’s
classified as Current Liability
Account Titles Used
Warranty Expense
Cash
Measurement
Direct Expense
Formula
Warranty Expense = Expense Incurred
- Sale of Warranty
Definition
Warranty may be sold separately from product
Treated as Extended Warranty
Measurement

subsequently Amortized as Warranty Revenue using
straight line over the life of warrant contract
o Amortization – if costs are expected to be
incurred in performing services.
Starts after the expiration of regular warranty period.
Formula
Warranty Revenue = Warranty Cost/Warranty Life
CHAPTER 4: Provision and Contingent Liability
o Definition
Existing liability of uncertain timing and uncertain amount.
May be the equivalent of an estimated liability or a loss
contingency that is accrued
o Recognition of Provision
