On February 1, 2021, one of the huge storage tanks of Viking Manufacturing exploded. Windows in houses and other buildings within a one-mile radius of the explosion were severely damaged, and a number of people were injured. As of February 15, 2021 (when the December 31, 2020, financial statements were completed and sent to the publisher for printing and public distribution), no suits had been filed or claims asserted against the company as a consequence of the explosion. The company fully anticipates that suits will be filed and claims asserted for injuries and damages. Because the casualty was uninsured and the company is considered at fault, Viking Manufacturing will have to cover the damages from its own resources. Instructions Discuss fully the accounting treatment and disclosures that should be accorded the casualty and related contingent losses in the financial statements dated December 31, 2020.

Russell Forest Products Limited needed to upgrade a burner at its sawmill in Cochrane, Ontario, to comply with the new air pollution standards. The new burner, which is used to burn the scrap wood from its sawing operations, will not only reduce the amount of pollution, but will supply heat for the plant facility, including the wood dryer. In order to encourage Russell Forest Products Limited in its compliance with the stan- dards, the Province of Ontario extended an interest-free loan of $400,000 on December 31, 2011. The only conditions in obtaining the interest-free loan are that the loan proceeds be applied directly to the construction costs and that the loan be repaid in full on December 31, 2019. RussellForest Products Limited borrowed the remaining funds from the bank for the construction of the burner and will be paying interest at the rate of 7% per year. Instructions (a) Discuss the issues related to obtaining the interest-free loan from the Province of Ontario. (b)…
Several months ago, Ayers Industries Inc. experienced a hazardous materials spill at one of its plants. As a result, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fined the company $240,000. The company is contesting the fine. In addition, an employee is seeking $220,000in damages related to the spill. Finally, a homeowner has sued the company for $310,000. The homeowner lives 35 miles from the plant but believes that the incident has reduced the home’s resale value by $310,000. Ayers’ legal counsel believes that it is probable that the EPA fine will stand. In addition, counsel indicates that an out-of-court settlement of $125,000 has recently been reached with the employee. The final papers will be signed next week. Counsel believes that the homeowner’s case is much weaker and will be decided in favor of Ayers. Otherlitigation related to the spill is possible, but the damage amounts are uncertain. a. Journalize the contingent liabilities associated with the hazardous materials spill. Use…

Blossom Inc. recently replaced a piece of automatic equipment at a net price of $3,500, f.o.b. factory. The replacement was necessary because one of Blossom’s employees had accidentally backed his truck into Blossom’s original equipment and made it inoperable. Because of the accident, the equipment had no resale value to anyone and had to be scrapped. Blossom’s insurance policy provided for a replacement of its equipment and paid the price of the new equipment directly to the new equipment manufacturer, minus the deductible amount paid to the manufacturer by Blossom. The $3,500 that Blossom paid was the amount of the deductible that it has to pay on any single claim on its insurance policy. The new equipment represents the same value in use to Blossom. The used equipment had originally cost $64,000. It had a book value of $45,000 at the time of the accident and a second-hand market value of $50,000 before the accident, based on recent transactions involving similar equipment. Freight…
Crane Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Crane also provides installation service for the windows. The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Crane enters into the following contract on July 1, 2025, with a local homeowner. The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,670 and chooses Crane to do the installation. Crane charges the same price for the windows irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The customer pays Crane $2,016 (which equals the standalone selling price of the windows, which have a cost of $1,250) upon delivery and the remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on September 1, 2025, Crane completes installation on October 15, 2025, and the customer pays the balance due. (a) Your answer is partially correct. Crane estimates the standalone selling price of the installation based on an estimated cost of…

Last year, Jose and Josefina Munoz bought a home with a dwelling replacement value of $250,000 and insured it (via an HO-5 policy) for $225,000. The policy reimburses actual cash value and has a $500 deductible, standard limits for coverage C items, and no scheduled property. Recently, burglars broke into the house and stole a new computer with a current replacement value of $1,500 and an estimated useful life of three years. They also took jewelry valued at $2,500 and a coin collection valued at $1,500. If the Munozs’ policy has a 90 percent co-insurance clause, do they have enough insurance? Assuming a 50 percent coverage C limit, calculate how much the Munoz family would receive if they filed a claim for the stolen items. What advice would you give the Munoz family about their homeowner’s coverage?
