received on 15 October Year 7. Georgina’s legal advisors consider that
Georgina is liable and that it is likely that this claim will succeed. On 25
October Year 7 Georgina sent a counter-claim to its suppliers for $400,000.
Georgina’s legal advisors are unsure whether or not this claim will succeed.
(2) Georgina’s sales director, who was dismissed on 15 September, has lodged a
claim for $100,000 for unfair dismissal. Georgina’s legal advisors believe that
there is no case to answer and therefore think it is unlikely that this claim will
succeed.
(3) Although Georgina has no legal obligation to do so, it has habitually operated
a policy of allowing customers to return goods within 28 days, even where
those goods are not faulty. Georgina estimates that such returns usually
amount to 1% of sales. Sales in September Year 7 were $400,000. By the end of
October Year 7, prior to the drafting of the financial statements, goods sold in
September for $3,500 had been returned.
(4) On 15 September Year 7 Georgina announced in the press that it is to close one
of its divisions in January Year 8. A detailed closure plan is in place and the
costs of closure are reliably estimated at $300,000, including $50,000 for staff
relocation.
Required
State, with reasons, how the above should be treated in Georgina’s financial
statements for the year ended 30 September Year 7.
