LIABILITIES
Definition of Liabilities
Liabilities are present obligations of an entity to transfer an economic resource as a result of past events.
Accordingly, the essential characteristics of an accounting liability are:
a. The entity has a present obligation.
An obligation is a duty or responsibility that an entity has no practical ability to avoid.
The entity liable must be identified but it is not necessary that the payee to whom the obligation
is owed be identified.
b. The obligation is to transfer an economic resource.
This is the very heart of the definition of an accounting liability.
The economic resource is the asset that represents a right with a potential to produce economic
benefits.
Specifically, the obligation must be to pay cash, transfer noncash asset or provide service at some
future time
c. The liability arises from a past event.
This means that the liability is not recognized until it is incurred.
Present obligation
µ The present obligation may be a legal obligation or a constructive obligation.

Transfer of an economic resource
Past event
& Liability must arise from a past transaction or event.
& The past event that leads to a legal or constructive obligation is known as an obligating event.
& The obligating event creates a present obligation because the entity has no realistic alternative
but to settle the obligation created by the event.

Estimated liabilities
° Estimated liabilities are obligations which exist at the end of reporting period although their
amount is not definite.
° In many cases, the date when the obligation is due is not also definite and in some instances, the
exact payee cannot be identified or determined.
° But despite these circumstances, the existence of the estimated liabilities is valid and
unquestioned.
° Estimated liabilities are either current or noncurrent in nature,
° Examples include estimated liability for premium, award points, warranties, gift certificates and
bonus.
Deferred revenue
° Deferred revenue or unearned revenue is income already received but not yet earned.
° If the unearned revenue is realizable within one year, it is a current liability.
° Typical examples or current unearned/deferred revenue are unearned interest income, unearned
rental income, and unearned subscription revenue.
° If the deferred revenue is realizable in more than one year, it is classified as noncurrent liability.
° Typical examples of noncurrent deferred revenue are unearned revenue from long-term service
contracts and long-term leasehold advances.
Illustration
An entity sells equipment service contacts agreeing to service equipment for 2-year period.
Cash receipts from contracts are credited to unearned service revenue and service contract costs are
charged to service contract expense.
Revenue from service contracts is recognized as earned over the service period of the contract.
The following transactions occur in the first year:
Cash receipts from service contracts sold 1,000,000
Service contact costs paid 500,000
Service contact revenue recognized 800,000

Gift certificate
Many megamalls, department stores and supermarkets sell gift certificates which are redeemable in
merchandise. The accounting procedure are:
1. When the gift certificates are sold:
Cash xx
Gift certificates payable xx
The latter amount is a current liability.
3. When the gift certificates expire or when gift certificates are not redeemed:
Gift certificates payable xx
Forfeited gift certificates xx
The Philippine Department of Trade Industry ruled that gift certificates no longer have an
expiration period.
Bonus computation
& Large entities often compensate key officers and employees by way of bonus for superior income
realized during the year.
& The main purpose of this scheme is to motivate officers and employees by directly relating their
well-being to the success of the entity.
& This compensation plan results in liability that must be measured and reported in the financial
statements. The bonus computation usually has four variations:
1. Bonus is expressed as a certain percent of income before bonus and before tax.
2. Bonus is expressed as a certain percent of income after bonus but before tax.
3. Bonus is expressed as a certain percent of income after bonus and after tax.
4. Bonus is expressed as a certain percent of income after tax but before bonus.

Case 2 – After bonus but before tax
B = .10 (4,400,000 – B)
B = 440,000 - .10B
B + .10B = 440,000
1.1B = 440,000
B = 440,000/1.10
B = 400,000

Case 4 – After tax but before bonus
B = .10 (4,400,000 – T)
T = .30 (4,400,000 – B)
B = .10 (4,400,000 - .30 (4,400,000 – B)
B = .10 (4,400,000 – 1,320,000 + .30B)
B = 440,000 – 132,00 + .03B
B - .03B = 440,000 – 132,000
.97B = 308,000
B = 308,000 / .97
B = 317,526
Proof
Income before bonus and before tax 4,400,000
