3. On the first day of each month, Banner Mortgage Co. receives from Kent Corp. an escrow deposit of $3,500 for real estate taxes.

Banner records the $3,500 in an escrow account. Kent's 2005 real estate tax is $40,000, payable in equal installments on the first day of each calendar quarter. On December 31, 2004, the balance in the escrow account is $4,000.

On September 30, 2005, what amount should Banner show as an escrow liability to Kent?

Answer 1

Answer 1

Current liabilities = 595,000

Long-term liabilities = 1075000

$370,000 due in 1 year

$225,000 due in first year(900,000/4)

Total current =595,000

Total long term liabilities = 675000+400000 =1075000

Answer 2

The amount of liability for compensated absences is Nor required to report is (175*120) = $21000

Answer 3

The amount Banner should show as an escrow liability to Kent is $5500

The September 30, 2005 liability balance equals the account's $4000 beginning balance, plus the nine deposits of $3500 received through September 1, 2005, less the three quarters of property tax installments paid in 2005 ($30,000 = .75 x $40000). These installments were paid on January 1, April 1, and July 1.

The ending liability then is 4000+(3500*9)-30000 =5500
