Problem 4-6 (IAA)
Baron Company is involved with several situations about

the financial statements are issued on March 31, 2023.
On March 1, 2023, the city government is in the process of

Case 11-6 Contingencies

A safety hazard related to one of its toy products was discovered. It is considered probable that liabilities have been incurred. Based on past experience, a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss can be made.
One of the firm’s small warehouses is located on the bank of a river and can no longer be insured against flood losses. No flood losses occurred after the date the insurance became unavailable.
This year, Angela began promoting a new toy by including a coupon, redeemable for a movie ticket, in each toy’s carton. The movie ticket, which cost Angela $2, is purchased in advance and then mailed to the customer when Angela receives the coupon. Based on past experience, Angela estimated that 60% of the coupons would be redeemed. Forty percent of the coupons would be actually redeemed this year, and the remaining 20% of the coupons were expected to be redeemed next…
