Problem 1-10 (AICPA)

Farr Company sells products with reusable and expensive containers. The customer is charged
a deposit for each container delivered and receives a refund for each container returned within
two years after the year of delivery.

Containers held by customers on January 1, 2020 from deliveries in:

2018 75,000
2019 215,000 290,000
Containers delivered in 2020 390,000

Containers returned in 2020 from deliveries in:

2018 45,000
2019 125,000
2020 143,000 313,000

Required: What is the liability for deposits on December 31, 2020?

ANSWER: P 337,000

Solution:

Liability
P 290,000 12/31 /19 balance
390,000 2020 deliveries
2020 returns P 313,000
2020 sales 30,000

P 337,000 12/31 /20 balance

Explanation:

When customers pay the deposit for a container, cash is debited and the liability is credited.
Therefore, at 12/31/19, the liability consists of deposits for containers still held by customers
from the last two years P 290, 000. During 2020, the liability is increased for deposits on
containers delivered P 390, 000. When containers are returned, the deposits are returned to
the customers; in 2020, the liability was debited and cash credited for P 313, 000 . Also,
at 12/31/20, some customers still held containers from 2016 (P 75,000 – P 45,000 = P
30,000). The two-year time limit has expired on these, so the company no longer is obligated to
return the deposit. The containers are considered sold to the customers, so the liability
account is debited and sales credited for P 30,000. These transactions result in a 12/31/98
liability balance of P 337,000.
