Current and Long-Term Liabilities: Liabilities are referred to as the obligations of the business towards the creditors for operating the business. Liabilities may be short-term or long-term depending upon the time duration in which it is paid back to the creditors. Liabilities are classified in to current liabilities and long-term liabilities. Current liabilities are those liabilities which need to be paid within a year. Long-term liabilities are those liabilities that have longer maturity period.
GAAP:
Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) is a common set of accounting principles, standards, and procedures that the companies must follow at the time of preparation of the financial statements.
IFRS:
International Financial Reporting Standard is abbreviated as IFRS. The IFRS is set up to bring a standard global language in accounting, so that the other firms across the globe can understand the accounting term of all other businesses.
To determine: Whether liability is accrued under GAAP or IFRS.

- Brief Exercise 11-13 (Algo) Amortization; Software development costs [LO11-4] On September 30, 2024, Athens Software began developing a software program to shield personal computers from malware and spyware. Technological feasibility was established on February 28, 2025, and the program was available for release on April 30, 2025. Development costs were incurred as follows: $ September 30 through December 31, 2024 January 1 through February 28, 2025 March 1 through April 30, 2025 Athens expects a useful life of four years for the software and total revenues of $7,600,000 during that time. During 2025, revenue of $1,520,000 was recognized. Required: 1. Prepare a journal entry to record the development costs in each year of 2024 and 2025. 2. Calculate the required amortization for 2025.

In 2021, it purchased from an outside supplier the special switches used in each of its products. The supplier charged Vista $2 per switch. As an alternative, Vista's CEO considered purchasing either machine A or machine B so the company could manufacture its own switches. The CEO decided at the beginning of 2022 to purchase machine A, based on the following data: Annual fixed cost (depreciation) Variable cost per switch Machine A $135,000 0.65 Machine B $204,000 0.30 Required 1. Assume that machine A has not yet been purchased. What is the annual volume (rounded up to nearest whole number) that would make the company indifferent between the two decision alternatives (i.e., purchasing and then using machine A to make the switches versus purchasing the switches from the outside vendor)? 2. Assume that machine A has already been purchased. Is it preferable to use…arrow_forward
- Make or Buy Analysis [LO 7–3]“In my opinion, we ought to stop making our own drums and accept that outside supplier’s offer,” said Wim Niewindt, managing director of Antilles Refining, N.V., of Aruba. “At a price of $18 per drum, we would be paying $5 less than it costs us to manufacture the drums in our own plant. Since we use 60,000 drums a year, that would be an annual cost savings of $300,000.” Antilles Refining’s current cost to manufacture one drum is given below (based on 60,000 drums per year): Direct materials............................................$10.35 Direct labor ...............................................6.00 Variable overhead .........................................1.50 Fixed overhead ($2.80 general company overhead, $1.60 depreciation and, $0.75 supervision) ....... 5.15 Total cost per drum ........................................$23.00 A decision about whether to make or buy the drums is especially important at this time because the equipment being used to…arrow_forwardProblem 9-19 MIRR [LO6] Duo Corporation is evaluating a project with the following cash flows: Year Cash Flow 0 -$ 29,100 12345 11,300 14,000 15,900 13,000 -9,500 The company uses an interest rate of 8 percent on all of its projects. a.

The old machine would have no salvage value in 20x5. If the replacement occurs, a new machine would be acquired from Hillcrest Industries on December 31, 20x1. The purchase price of $1,000,000 for the new machine would be paid in cash at the time of replacement. Due to the increased efficiency of the new machine, estimated annual cash savings of $300,000 would be generated through 20x5, the end of its expected useful life. The new machine is not expected to have any salvage value at the end of 20x5. Tri-County's management requires all investments to earn a 12 percent after-tax return. The company's tax rate is 30 percent. The new machine would be classified as three-year property for MACRS purposes Use Appendix A and Exhibit 16-9, for your reference.

- Problem 10-23 Comparing Mutually Exclusive Projects [LO1] Letang Industrial Systems Company (LISC) is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $305,000, has a four-year life, and requires $105,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $385,000, has a six-year life, and requires $99,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have zero salvage value. Whichever project is chosen, it will not be replaced when it wears out. The tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 11 percent. Calculate the NPV for both conveyor belt systems. (A negative answer should be İndicated by a minus sign.

In the past, the company has always purchased its cars from a dealer and then sold the cars after three years of use. The company's present fleet of cars is three years old and will be sold very shortly. To provide a replacement fleet, the company is considering two alternatives: Purchase alternative: The company can purchase the cars, as in the past, and sell the cars after three years of use. Ten cars will be needed, which can be purchased at a discounted price of $16,000 each. If this alternative is accepted, the following costs will be incurred on the fleet as a whole: Annual cost of servicing, taxes, and licensing Repairs, first year Repairs, second year Repairs, third year At the end of three years, the fleet could be sold for one-half of the original purchase price.
