- Contingencies Fallon Company, a toy manufacturer that also operates several retail outlets, is preparing its December 31, 2013, financial statements according to GAAP standards. It has identified the following legal situations that may qualify as contingencies:
- A customer is suing the company for $1,000,000 in damages because her child was injured in November 2013 in one of its stores. Legal counsel feels that the child is partially at fault, but that it is probable that the lawsuit will be settled for between $ 70,000 and $ 150,000, with $ 100,000 being the most likely amount.
- Fallon has discovered that a toy it began manufacturing and selling in 2013 has defective bearings. Fallon has issued a ‘‘recall’’ notice in newspapers and magazines in which it offers to repair the toys. It estimates a cost of $ 200,000 for these repairs. No lawsuits have been filed for injury claims, although the company feels that there is a reasonable possibility that claims may total as high as $ 5 million.
- In early 2013, Fallon signed a contract with a computer vendor to install ‘‘state of the art’’ cash registers in all of its retail outlets. Because of the vendor’s inability to acquire sufficient cash registers, the vendor canceled the contract. Fallon has filed a breach of contract suit against the vendor, claiming $ 500,000 in damages. The company’s lawyers expect that it will settle the suit ‘‘out of court’’ for $ 250,000.
For each situation, prepare the journal entry ( if any) on December 31, 2013, to record the information for Fallon. If no journal entry is recorded, explain how the information would be disclosed in Fallon’s 2013 annual report.
