Q

Accrual of estimates for contingent liabilities

A

Contingent liabilities are recorded when they are probable and estimable. Although GAAP requires accrual of the best estimate, in the event that only a range of liabilities is known, the minimum amount of the range is recorded.

Q

Premium offers estimated

A

Total number of coupons issued
X estimated redemption rate
= total estimated coupon redemptions

All premiums will not be redeemed in the same period. Therefore the number of outstanding premium offers must be estimated accurately to reflect the current liability at the end of each period. Cost is charged to sales in the period that benefited from the premium offer.
