Thank you for this lecture. Please, will the provision be deduct from the profit? Example: Provision of $100 was made to pay back customers that will return faulty TV. My question is will this $100 be deduct from the profit in income statement.
Yes, that is correct (provided, of course, that is is classed as “virtually certain”) 馃檪 (although in F3, you are unlikely to be asked for the entry – you will just be tested on the rules as to whether you recognise, disclose as a note, or do nothing 馃檪 )
If it’s available to put a value on a possible obligation then, yes, that value should be given within the contingent liability note in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
If it’s not possible to quantify, hen that also should be stated together with an explanation WHY it’s not possible to quantify
How do you decide the %., who decides it ? And what happens if someone lies. And say e.g something is 90% certain. But. They record it as 25%. Thank you
In test question 2, can you please explain statement 1? Why does the company have to create a provision if only 5% of sales give rise to a warranty claim?
The reason is that it is virtually certain that they will have to pay for some warranty claims. (The only relevance of the 5% is that they would probably use this to estimate the amount needed for the provision)

My question is will this $100 be deduct from the profit in income statement.
Thank you.
John Moffat says
Yes – it will be treated just the same way as an accrual is treated.
rustamrakhmatov27 says
Mr Moffat, how do we recognise the contingent asset? Cr accrued income Dr Receivales?
John Moffat says
Yes, that is correct (provided, of course, that is is classed as “virtually certain”) 馃檪

John Moffat says
‘remote’ is when the chance of something happening is very small – less than a 5% chance.
