Liabilities in Perspective
Liabilities are a company’s obligations to pay
cash or to provide goods and services to other
companies or individuals.
Accrual accounting recognizes expenses when
they occur rather than when they are paid.
•When an expense is recognized before it is paid, a
liability is created.

Liabilities in Perspective
Liabilities are important to investors, financial
analysts, management, and creditors.
•Excess liabilities often cause investors and creditors
to stay away from the company with the excess
liabilities.

Liabilities in Perspective
Liabilities are classified as either current or long
term to help readers interpret the immediacy of a
company’s obligations.
•Current liabilities-obligations that fall due within the
coming year or within the company’s normal
operating cycle
•Long-term liabilities-obligations that fall due beyond
one year from the balance sheet date
–If long-term liabilities are paid gradually, the portion that
comes due within the year becomes a current liability.

Liabilities in Perspective
In the general ledger, each liability (wages,
salaries, interest, etc.) is kept in a different
account.
However, in the financial statements, liabilities
may be combined and shown as a single amount.
•The terms “accrued” or “payable” may sometimes be
used to denote liabilities.

Accounting for Current Liabilities
Not all current liabilities are recorded the same
way.
•Some are the result of a transaction with a third party,
such as a supplier or a lender.
•Some are the result of an adjusting
journal entry made to acknowledge
an obligation arising over time, such
as interest or wages.

Accounts Payable
Accounts payable (or trade accounts payable) are
amounts owed to suppliers.
Large sums of money flow through accounts
payable systems, so data-processing and internal
control systems are carefully designed for
accounts payable.
•The company must ensure that checks are written only
for legitimate obligations of the company.

Notes Payable
Promissory note (note payable)-a written
promise to repay principal plus interest at specific
future dates
•Notes payable can be classified as current or long
term depending on when they are payable.

Notes Payable
Rather than having to apply for many small loans
at different times, companies obtain lines of
creditwith lenders.
•Line of credit-an agreement with a bank to
automatically provide short-term loans up to some
preestablished maximum
–The lender does not have to do extensive paperwork or
credit checks every time a borrower needs money.
–The borrower has a preset amount of borrowing available.

Notes Payable
Companies sometimes borrow directly from
investors in the form of commercial paper.
Commercial paper-a short-term debt contract
issued by prominent companies that borrow
directly from investors
•These liabilities usually fall due within 9 months,
often within 60 days.

Accrued Employee Compensation
Employers must withhold some employee
earnings and pay them to third parties, such as the
government, insurance companies, charitable
organizations, etc.
•Most companies have separate
current liability accounts for
such items.

Accrued Employee Compensation
Companies must pay payroll taxes and fringe
benefits in addition to salaries and wages.
•Payroll taxesare amounts paid to the government for
the employer’s portion of social security taxes, federal
and state unemployment taxes, and workers’
compensation taxes.
•Fringe benefitsare extra benefits paid to employees in
lieu of cash, such as employee pensions, life and
health insurance, and vacation pay.

Accrued Employee Compensation
Assume a company pays its employees $100,000
and withholds $15,000 for income taxes and
$7,000 for social security taxes. The employer
pays its portion of social security taxes and puts
$10,000 into a retirement account.
How are these transactions recorded?

8 -17
Income Taxes Payable
Corporations make periodic installment payments
based on their estimated tax for the year.
Therefore, the accrued tax liability at year end is
generally much smaller than the actual income
tax expense.
Corporations must adjust their periodic payments
to reflect changes in the estimates in earnings for
the year.

Current Portion of
Long-Term Debt
If long-term liabilities are paid gradually, the
portion that comes due within the year becomes a
current liability.
The journal entry to reclassify a liability is:
Long-term debt xxxx
Current portion of long-term debt xxxx

Sales Tax
When companies collect sales taxes, they are
collecting on behalf of a state or local
government.
Sales taxes do not affect
the income statement.
•They are recorded in a liability
account called Sales Tax Payable until they are
remitted to the governmental unit.

Product Warranties
A sales warranty creates a liability, but warranty
claims will arise in the future and cannot be
estimated precisely.
•If warranty obligations are
material, they must be accrued
when the products are sold.
•Warranty obligations are usually
based on past experience for
replacing or fixing defective
products.

Returnable Deposits
Customers must occasionally pay deposits that
will be returned, either with or without interest,
at some time in the future.
•Most apartment complexes require deposits
when a lease is signed.
•Companies that require deposits record them
as a type of payable because the amounts are
due back to the customer.
•Deposits are considered current liabilities.

Unearned Revenue
Revenues that are collected before services or
goods are delivered are called unearned revenues.
•Examples include lease rentals, magazine
subscriptions, insurance premiums, advance ticket
sales, etc.
•These amounts are recorded as current liabilities and
are converted to revenues as the services or goods are
delivered, i.e., when a month passes or when an issue
of a magazine is delivered to a subscriber.

Internal Controls Over Payables
Since huge sums of money flow through payables
systems, good internal control must be present to
ensure that all payments involve properly
approved and valid obligations of the company.
•Most disbursement systems require payments to be
made only by checks because the prenumbered checks
make record keeping easier.
All checks issued must be supported by source
documents.

8 -25
Internal Control Over Payables
Before a check can be written, a series of source
documents must be completed to document the
obligation.
•Purchase order-a document that specifies the items
ordered and the price to be paid by the company
•Receiving report-a document that specifies the items
received by the company and their condition
•Invoice-a bill from the seller to a buyer indicating
the number of items shipped, their prices, any
additional costs such as shipping, and payment terms

Internal Control Over Payables
Checks in excess of a certain amount usually
require additional authorization or must be signed
by two people.
•This process leaves a paper trail in case anything goes
wrong.
•Because more than one person is involved in the
payment, errors should be avoided or detected
quickly.

8 -27
Internal Control Over Payables
The more people within an organization that see a
transaction the better.
•Requiring different employees
to create the source documents,
keep purchase records, and prepare
the checks makes it harder for
one person to succeed with fraud.

Internal Control Over Payables
Computers allow the maintenance of an approved
vendor file.
•Checks for payables can be written only to approved
vendors, and high-level employees must approve
additions to the vendor list.
Even with the best control systems in place,
mistakes still occur.
•One common mistake is overpayment, usually
because of a company billing a customer twice.

Long-Term Liabilities
Some long-term liabilities are much like some
short-term liabilities except for the time frame.
•Car loans or mortgage loans are much like notes
payable, but they are for a longer term.
•As time passes, payments of interest and principal
eliminate the loan obligation.

Long-Term Liabilities
Illustration and analysis of a loan:
•Assume that $10,000 is borrowed at 10% interest.
The yearly payment is to be $3,154.71 for four years
on December 31 of each year.
•The total repayment amount is $12,618.83, which
consists of the $10,000 principal plus $2,618.83 in
interest.

Bonds and Notes
Both bonds and notes are legal contracts that
specify how much is to be borrowed and the dates
and amounts for repayment by the borrower.
•Notes and bonds are called negotiable financial
instrumentsbecause they can be transferred from one
lender to another.
•Some bonds and notes are private placements, which
means that only a few sources of borrowing are used
rather than the general public.

Bond-a formal certificate of indebtedness that is
typically accompanied by (1) a promise to pay
interest in cash at a specified annual rate plus (2)
a promise to pay the principal at a specific
maturity date
•The interest rate is often called the nominal interest
rate, contractual rate, coupon rate, or stated rate.
•The principal amount is also known as the face
amount.

Interest rate-the percentage applied to a
principal amount to calculate the amount of
interest that must be paid on the loan
•Interest represents the return the lender can earn for
loaning money.
•In general, riskier loans demand higher interest rates.

Bond Accounting
On December 31, 2000, a company issued
$10,000,000 in 2-year, 10% bonds. Interest is to be
paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31.
Assuming that the bonds are held to maturity, the
journal entries are:
To record the issuance of the bonds
Cash 10,000,000
Bonds payable 10,000,000
To record the payments of the semiannual interest
Interest expense 500,000
Cash (($10,000,000 x 10%) / 2) 500,000
To record the repayment of principal at maturity

Mortgage Bonds and Debentures
Mortgage bond-a form of long-term debt that is
secured by the pledge of specific property
•In case of default, the lender can sell the pledged
property to satisfy the debt.
Debenture-a debt secured with a general claim
against all assets rather than a specific claim
against particular assets

8 -36
Mortgage Bonds and Debentures
If a borrower defaults on a loan, the company
may be liquidated to satisfy the loan obligation.
•Liquidation-converting assets to cash and paying off
outside claims or obligations
If all claims were equal, each lender would
receive a proportional share of the cash remaining
after liquidation.
•Debentures have a lower priority claim than mortgage
bonds to recover the loan amount.

•Subordinated debentures-debt securities whose
holders have claims against only the assets that
remain after the claims of general creditors are
satisfied
–Generally have the lowest priority of recovery
–Also carry the highest interest rate
because they carry the most risk

Bond Provisions
Trust indenture-a contract whereby the issuing
corporation of a bond promises a trustee that it
will abide by stated provisions
•These provisions are sometimes called protective
covenantsor covenants.
•The covenants pertain to payments of principal and
interest, sales of pledged property, restrictions on
paying dividends, etc., all included to protect the
bondholders’ interests.

Callable, Sinking Fund, and
Convertible Bonds
Callable bonds -bonds subject to redemption
before maturity at the option of the issuer
•Usually, the bonds are callable at a call premium-the
redemption amount exceeds the par value of the bond.
•This feature is good for the issuer because the bonds
can be paid off early.
•However, this feature creates uncertainty for investors
and might cause interest rates to be higher.

•Sinking fund-a pool of cash or securities segregated
for meeting certain obligations
•The sinking fund assures investors that enough money
will be on hand to repay the bonds upon maturity.
–This increases attractiveness to investors and generally
lowers the interest rate on the borrowing.

Deferred Taxes
As discussed before, delays in payment of taxes
between the time that income is earned and taxes
are due leads to short-term taxes payable.
However, another reason for taxes payable arises
because of differences between U.S. income tax
rules and GAAP.
•Sometimes tax rules can cause income tax expense to
be recorded long before it is actually paid and creates
a deferred tax liability.

Deferred Taxes
Differences arise because GAAP is designed to
provide useful information to investors, while the
tax code is written to generate revenues for the
government.
•Managers try to pay the least amount of taxes at the
latest time possible.
•They try to delay reporting taxable revenue as long as
possible while deducting expenses as quickly as
possible.

Deferred Taxes
Differences may be created because:
•Rules for financial reporting and tax rules differ.
•Managers make different choices of accounting
treatment for financial reporting than for tax
reporting.
–Managers have an incentive to keep taxable income low, but
they have an incentive to make financial income high.

Permanent Differences
Permanent differences-revenue or expense items
that are recognized for tax purposes but not
recognized under GAAP, or vice versa
•An example of a permanent difference is municipal
bond interest.
–For GAAP purposes, this interest is reported on the income
statement.
–For tax purposes, this interest is notincluded in taxable
income.

Temporary Differences
Temporary differences (timing differences)-
differences between GAAP income and taxable
income that arise because some revenue and
expense items are recognized at different times
for tax purposes than for financial reporting
purposes
•An example of a temporary difference is using
straight-line depreciation for financial reporting
purposes and accelerated depreciation (MACRS) for
tax purposes.

Temporary Differences
Burton Company has $100,000 in income before
depreciation. The company can take $20,000
depreciation for reporting purposes and $40,000
for tax purposes. The company’s tax rate is 40%.
The temporary difference is determined as
follows:
Reporting purposesIncome tax purposes
Income $100,000 $100,000
Depreciation 20,000 40,000
Net income $ 80,000 $ 60,000
Tax rate x 40% x 40%
Income taxes $ 32,000 $ 24,000

Temporary Differences
The $32,000is the amount of income taxes that
would have to be paid if income taxes were based
on book income.
The $24,000is what actually has to be paid
according to the tax return.
The $8,000difference between the two amounts
is the amount of taxes that will be paid in the
future because of the timing difference caused by
using different methods of depreciation.

Temporary Differences
The amount of taxes payable to the government is
$24,000, but the tax expense of $32,000 is being
recorded.
•The $8,000 is a liability that arises because of predictable
future taxes.
•The deferred tax liability is 40% of the temporary difference of
$20,000 ($20,000 depreciation versus $40,000 depreciation).
Remember that the differences between reported income
and taxable income result in deferralof taxes, not the
cancellationof taxes.

The entry to record the taxes is:
Income tax expense 32,000
Cash (or taxes payable) 24,000
Deferred tax liability 8,000
The use of actual taxes paid to the government
would distort the level and pattern of reported
earnings.
•GAAP requires companies to report the amount of
taxes that would be paid based on financial reporting
rules.

Temporary Differences
Not all temporary differences work like
depreciation.
•Some, like warranty expenses, result in earlier
deductions for reporting purposes and later deductions
for tax purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities appear on almost every
corporate balance sheet.
•For most companies, the primary timing difference is
related to depreciation.

Parker Company does not pay.
–This is a liability of Parker Company and a contingent
liability of Smith Company.

Contingent Liabilities
More often, contingent liabilities
are of an indefinite amount.
•Lawsuits are common examples.
These are possible obligations of
uncertain amounts.
Some companies show contingent liabilities on
the balance sheet, but most disclose such amounts
in the footnotes to the financial statements.

Debt Ratios and
Interest-Coverage Ratios
Debt ratios are used to measure the extent to
which a company has used borrowing to finance
its activities.
•The more borrowing, and the less equity, the riskier it
is to lend money to a firm.
