Exercise 13-1 Requirement 1 Cash... 16,000,000 Notes payable... 16,000,000 Requirement 2 Interest expense ($16,000,000 x 12% x 2/12)... 320,000 Interest payable... 320,000 Requirement 3 Interest expense ($16,000,000 x 12% x 7 /12)... 1,120,000 Interest payable (from adjusting entry)... 320,000 Notes payable (face amount)... 16,000,000 Cash (total)... 17,440,000 Exercise 13-3 2009 Jan. 13 No entry is made for a line of credit until a loan actually is made. It would be described in a disclosure note. Feb. 1 Cash... 5,000,000 Notes payable... 5,000,000 May 1 Interest expense ($5,000,000 x 10% x 3 /12)... 125,000 Notes payable (face amount)... 5,000,000 Cash ($5,000,000 + 125,000)... 5,125,000 Dec. 1 Cash (difference)... 9,325,000 Discount on notes payable ($10,000,000 x 9% x 9 /12)... 675,000 Notes payable (face amount)... 10,000,000
Exercise 13-3 (concluded) Dec. 31 The effective interest rate is 9.6515% ($675,000 $9,325,000) x 12 /9. So, properly, interest should be recorded at that rate times the outstanding balance times one-twelfth of a year: Interest expense ($9,325,000 x 9.6515% x 1 /12)... 75,000 Discount on notes payable... 75,000 However the same results are achieved if interest is recorded at the discount rate times the maturity amount times one-twelfth of a year: Interest expense ($10,000,000 x 9% x 1 /12)... 75,000 Discount on notes payable... 75,000 2010 Sept. 1 Interest expense ($10,000,000 x 9% x 8 /12)*... 600,000 Discount on notes payable... 600,000 Notes payable (balance)... 10,000,000 Cash (maturity amount)... 10,000,000 * or, ($9,325,000 x 9.6515% x 8 /12) = $600,000 Exercise 13-6 Requirement 1 Cash... 5,200 Liability gift certificates... 5,200 Cash ($2,100 + 84-1,300)... 884 Liability gift certificates... 1,300 Sales revenue... 2,100 Sales taxes payable (4% x $2,100)... 84
Requirement 2 Gift certificates sold $5,200 Gift certificates redeemed 1,300 Liability to be reported at December 31 $3,900 Requirement 3 The sales tax liability is a current liability because it is payable in January. The liability for gift certificates is part current and part noncurrent: Gift certificates sold $5,200 x 80% Estimated current liability $4,160 Gift certificates redeemed (1,300) Current liability at December 31 $2,860 Noncurrent liability at December 31 ($5,200 x 20%) 1,040 Total $3,900 Exercise 13-9 Normally, short-term debt (payable within a year) is classified as current liabilities. However, when such debt is to be refinanced on a long-term basis, it may be included with long-term liabilities. The narrative indicates that Sprint has both (1) the intent and (2) the ability ("existing long-term credit facilities") to refinance on a long-term basis. Thus, Sprint reported the debt as long-term liabilities.

Exercise 13-21 The note describes a loss contingency. Dow anticipates a future sacrifice of economic benefits (cost of remediation and restoration) due to an existing circumstance (environmental violations) that depends on an uncertain future event (requirement to pay claim). Dow considers the liability probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. As a result, the company accrued the liability: ($ in millions) Loss provision from environmental claims... 347 Liability for settlement of environmental claims... 347
