EXERCISE 13-13 (2030 minutes) (1) The FASB requires that, when some amount within the range of ex pected loss appears at the time to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount is accrued. When no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the dollar amount at the low end of the range is accrued and the dollar amount at the high end of the range is disclosed. In this case, therefore, Maverick Inc. would report a liability of $800,000 at December 31, 2012. (2) The loss should be accrued for $6,000,000. The potential insurance recovery is a gain contingencyit is not recorded until received. According to FASB ASC 410-30-35-8, claims for recoveries may be recorded if the recovery is deemed probable. (3) This is a gain contingency because the amount to be received will be in excess of the book value of the plant. Gain contingencies are not recorded and are disclosed only when the probabilities are high that a gain contingency will become reality.

Current ratio measures the short-term ability of the company to meet its currently maturing obligations. (b)
Acid-test ratio = Cash + Short-term Investments + Net Receivables = $115,000 Current Liabilities $70,000 = 1.64

Acid-test ratio also measures the short-term ability of the company to meet its currently maturing obligations. However, it eliminates assets that might be slow moving, such as inventories and prepaid expenses. (c) Debt to total assets = Total Liabilities Total Assets = $210,000 $430,000 = 48.84%

This ratio provides the creditors with some idea of the corporations ability to withstand losses without impairing the interests of creditors. (d)
Rate of return on assets = Net Income Average Total Assets = $25,000 $430,000 = 5.81%

This ratio measures the return the company is earning on its average total assets and provides one indication related to the profitability of the enterprise.
