Chapter 9
Accounting for Liabilities and Payroll
General Comments for Chapter 9
Students were initially introduced to the concept of accounts payable in Chapter 2. Chapter 9
looks at liabilities in more depth by exploring sales tax and payroll tax payables. Contingent
liabilities, accounting for warranty obligations, the going concern concept, and the classified
balance sheet are also introduced in this chapter. Since most students have had some type of
job experience, they will be able to relate to the discussions around wages and payroll taxes
payable. Chapter 2 introduced the concept of interest payable but students were provided
with the amount of interest expense and interest payable. In Chapter 9, students learn how to
compute interest expense and interest payable when a partial year of interest is payable at the
end of the accounting cycle.
If you would like to begin the chapter with a problem-based learning exercise, see the notes
below.
Problem-Based Learning Case:
Warranty Expenses
Instructions: The case appears on the following page in a format you can copy or display.
Distribute copies of the case to the class before providing any explanation of bad debt or war-
ranty expenses. Ask students to read the case and individually develop answers. After al-
lowing students time to develop their individual answers, put them into groups to reach con-
sensus on an answer. Also, ask each group to select a spokesperson. Allow groups time to
develop answers, then call on some of the spokespersons to share their solutions. As you re-
spond to the student solutions, explain the basic concepts of accounting for warranty expens-
es.
The correct answer is:
Fees revenue
$ 180,000
Warranty expense
(1,200)
Other operating expenses
(120,000)
Net income
$ 58,800

Chapter 9 Problem-Based Learning Case:
Bad Debts and Warranty Expenses
Wilson Eye Care earned $180,000 of revenue on account during
2016. Wilson offers its customers a one–year “satisfaction or your
money back” guarantee. Very few customers return their eye-
glasses. Although by year-end no one had returned eyeglasses
sold in 2016, Wilson estimated that its guarantee would cost the
company $1,200 in warranty expense during 2017. Wilson incurred
$120,000 of other operating expenses during 2016. Using this in-
formation alone, what amount of net income should Wilson report
on its 2016 income statement?

Detailed Outline of a Lesson Plan for Chapter 9
Note to users of the previous edition: The previous edition of this text did not cover contin-
gent liabilities nor did it include any discussions around payroll taxes payable. These topics
have been added in this chapter of the text.
I. Use Demonstration Problem 9-1 to introduce accounting for warranty obligations
(or to continue the discussion around warranty obligations if you started the
chapter with the Problem-Based Learning case).
II. Use Demonstration Problem 9-2 to discuss interest payable. Students sometimes
struggle with this concept when the interest payment is not due in the current account-
ing period. It helps to reinforce the fact that accounting is based on the matching
principle and that interest payable is matching revenues in a given account period
with expenses incurred to earn those revenues. Explain that interest is really the ex-
pense for the use of someone else’s money. Since the company had the had the full
use of the money for some period of time during the current accounting period, the
expense (interest) related to the use of that money must be recorded. The concept of
interest payable was introduced in chapter 2, so students have already had some expo-
sure to the topic in your earlier class sessions. Part 1 of this problem helps students
see how to compute accrued interest – and lets them see that accrued interest payable
in one setting is accrued interest receivable in another setting. Part 2 of this problem
then allows students to apply their knowledge from Part 1.
III. Use Demonstration Problem 9-3 to introduce payroll taxes payable. Most students
have had some type of work experience by this point in their lives so they will under-
stand the concepts of gross wages and net wages. You can begin this discussion by
writing ‘Gross Pay’ on the board and then asking students to share those items that
would be deducted from a paycheck to arrive at net pay. Then you can relate these
items to the payroll taxes payable example in the Demonstration Problem. Explain
that employers also must pay certain taxes that are on top of the taxes deducted from
the employee paycheck.
IV. Use Demonstration Problem 9-4 to introduce sales tax payable. Since you have al-
ready discussed payroll taxes payable, students should be able to grasp the concept of
sales tax payable fairly quickly.
V. Discuss what’s meant by ‘going concern’ and ‘classified balance sheet’. These terms
will be new to most students. Since the going concern concept assumes that a com-
pany will operate indefinitely, it ties in well with the discussion around balance sheets
where ending account balances from the prior year carry forward to become begin-
ning account balances in the current year. If a company weren’t going to continue in-
9-4
definitely, presenting cumulative account balances in a financial statement would not
make sense. You can reinforce the discussion by naming some accounts and asking
students to identify if they are assets, liability, or equity. If assets or liability ac-
counts, ask students to determine if they are current or long-term. If long-term asset
accounts, ask students to determine if the accounts are tangible or intangible. This
will help students understand how accounts would be classified on the balance sheet.
VI. If you assign the chapter appendix, use Demonstration Problem 9-5 to introduce
accounting for a discount note. The problem covers two cycles. The note has a
one-year term. Date of issue, accrual of interest, and repayment of principal at ma-
turity are covered. Before demonstrating how to record the transactions, explain that
discounting is another way of charging interest. In contrast to an interest-bearing
note, the issuer does not receive cash in the amount of the face value of a discount
note.
Use the rate of return formula (annual interest ÷ cash borrowed) to demonstrate
that the effective rate of interest is higher on a discount note than an interest-bearing
note. Use a $5,000 face value note with a 12% rate of interest. The amount of cash
borrowed with an interest-bearing note is $5,000 and the amount of interest is $600.
The effective interest rate is 12% ($600 ÷ $5,000). In contrast, the amount of cash
borrowed with a discount note is $4,400 ($5,000 – $600). The effective interest rate
is 13.64% ($600 ÷ $4,400). Caution students to always look for the effective rate of
interest when borrowing money.
Now begin Demonstration Problem 9-5. Record the first event in T-accounts.
Emphasize that the amount of cash received is less than the face value of the note.
Explain how the carrying value of the note payable is reduced through a contra–
liability account (discount on note payable). Since all other contra accounts discussed
so far have been associated with asset accounts, explain that contra accounts can also
be associated with liability accounts. Just as was the case with asset accounts, com-
bining the balances in the liability account and the associated contra account will pro-
vide information regarding the net value of the liability. Emphasize that on the issue
date the company’s liability to the bank is only the amount of the cash received (face
value Ä discount). The liability increases the longer the note is held because interest
accrues on the note. In Event No. 4 students should see how accrued interest expense
reduces the discount and concurrently increases the carrying value of the liability.
Stress that the carrying value (the liability) on the December 31 balance sheet is high-
er because the customer not only owes the principal borrowed but also the interest
that has accrued. Close the revenue and expense accounts for 2016. After recording
the 2016 transactions in T-accounts, use the horizontal financial statements model to
show how each event will affect the financial statements.
Finally, record the 2017 transactions in T-accounts. Emphasize that the discount
balance is zero after accrued interest is recorded on the maturity date. The cash paid
at maturity (the face value of the note) is greater than the amount that was borrowed
because the payment at maturity includes interest as well as repayment of principal.
9-5
VII. Time considerations and homework assignments. Plan to spend approximately
two hours of class time on this chapter. Use the Demonstration Problems to introduce
students to the various concepts covered in this chapter. Then consider assigning the
following Exercises or Problems as homework to reinforce what you covered in class:
Problem 9-19 A or B reinforce interest payable, Exercise 9-4 A or B reinforce sales
tax payable, Exercise 9-6 A or B reinforce warranty concepts and Problem 9-23 A or
B reinforce recording payroll transactions. Exercise 9-13 A or B is a great compre-
hensive assignment.
Demonstration Problem 9-1 – Warranty Expense
Versa Training Services provides instruction on how to pass the CPA examination. Versa
has attained phenomenal growth by offering its customers a money-back guarantee. Any
student who attends all classes and completes all homework assignments is entitled to a com-
plete refund if he or she fails to pass the exam. The following events pertain to a new course
that was recently established by Versa.
1. During 2016, Versa charged a total of 40 students $400 each for the training. Versa only
accepts cash payment for training.
2. Versa estimates that 10 percent of the students will attend all the classes, complete all the
homework assignments, and yet fail the exam and demand a cash refund.
3. During 2016, only 1 customer presented his exam results to Versa and requested a cash
refund. Versa paid a $400 cash refund to a customer after he received his exam results.
This refund was the first of several Versa expected to grant to unsuccessful candidates.
Required
a. Record the events in T-accounts, including closing the revenue and expense accounts to
retained earnings
b. Record the events using the horizontal financial statements model under the titles of the
affected accounts. Record a zero under each heading not affected by the event. Compare
the final balances in the T-accounts from part a. with the ending balances in the horizon-
tal financial statements model.
Demonstration Problem 9-2 – Interest Payable and Interest Ex-
pense
Part 1.
Johnson Company borrowed $1,000 cash by issuing a one-year note payable to McCoy
Company. McCoy charged Johnson interest on the note at a 12% annual rate. Both compa-
nies close their books on December 31, 2016.
Required
a. Determine the amount of accrued interest expense Johnson would report and the amount
of accrued interest revenue McCoy would report at December 31, 2016 under each of the
9-6
three following independent assumptions of the note issue date. The note was issued
(money was borrowed) on (1) April 1, 2016; (2) June 1, 2016; and (3) October 1, 2016.
b. Recompute the amount of interest for 2016 assuming the same facts as above except the
note has an 8-month term instead of a one-year term.
Part 2.
Frank’s Hot Dogs borrowed $10,000 from City Bank on July 1, 2016. The loan was at 5%
annual interest and was to be repaid on July 1, 2018. During both 2016 and 2017, Frank’s
earned $5,000 cash revenue and paid $2,000 cash for expenses. On December 31 of 2016
and 2017, the accountants for Frank’s Hot Dogs prepared year-end adjusting and closing en-
tries.
Required
a. Record the transactions and required year-end adjusting and closing entries for 2016 and
2017 in T-accounts.
b. Record the transactions and required year-end adjusting and closing entries for 2016 and
2017 using the horizontal financial statements model.
c. Using the horizontal financial statements model, record the required entries when Frank’s
Hot Dogs repaid the loan on July 1, 2018.
Demonstration Problem 9-3 – Employment Taxes Payable
Colby Company had one salaried employee, Carl Colby, who was paid $2,000 per month.
According to the employment tax laws, Colby Company had to remit Federal and State em-
ployment taxes on a quarterly basis. Colby Company also agreed to pay for benefits on a
quarterly basis. During each month, Carl had the following deductions withheld from his
paycheck:
Federal income tax $400
State income tax $200
Social Security 6% of gross
Medicare 1.5% of gross
Medical Insurance $100
United Way contribution $50
Additionally, Colby Company provided Carl with the following company-paid benefits:
Vacation 1 day earned per month, valued at $67
Medical Insurance $100
Finally, Colby Company had the following employment tax responsibilities:
Social Security match that withheld from employee
Medicare match that withheld from employee
Federal Unemployment 0.8% of gross payroll
State Unemployment 5.4% of gross payroll
9-7
Required:
a. Record Carl Colby’s monthly payroll entry using T-accounts.
b. Record Colby Company’s monthly employer payroll entry using T-accounts.
c. Using the horizontal financial statements model, record Carl’s deductions for Janu-
ary, February, and March as well as Colby Company’s employment tax liabilities.
Then record Colby Company’s quarterly payments associated with Carl Colby’s em-
ployment (remember that 3 monthly payroll entries will have been made by the time
these payments are due).
Demonstration Problem 9-4 – Sales Tax Payable
Dance Costumes Inc. had total sales (including sales tax) of $10,450.
Required:
a. Assuming a sales tax rate of 4.5%, record the sales entry and related tax payment
using T-accounts and then record the transactions using the horizontal financial

Summary Outline of a Lesson Plan for Chapter 9
I. Use Demonstration Problem 9-1 to introduce accounting for warranty obligations
(or to continue the discussion around warranty obligations if you started the chap–
ter with the Problem-Based Learning case).
II. Use Demonstration Problem 9-2 to discuss interest payable
III. Use Demonstration Problem 9-3 to introduce payroll taxes payable.
IV. Use Demonstration Problem 9-4 to introduce sales tax payable.
V. Discuss what’s meant by ‘going concern’ and ‘classified balance sheet’. Consider
naming some accounts and asking students to tell if they are current assets, current lia-
bilities, intangible assets, long-term tangible assets, or long-term liabilities.
VI. If you assign the chapter appendix, use Demonstration Problem 9-5 to introduce
accounting for a discount note.
VII. Time considerations and homework assignments. Plan to spend approximately two
hours of class time on this chapter. Use the Demonstration Problems to introduce stu-
dents to the various concepts covered in this chapter. Then consider assigning the fol-
lowing Exercises or Problems as homework to reinforce what you covered in class:
Problem 9-19 A or B (interest payable), Exercise 9-4 A or B (sales tax payable), Exer-
cise 9-6 A or B (warranty) and Problem 9-23 A or B (payroll). Exercise 9-13 A or B is a
great comprehensive assignment.
