c. The liability might have grown for a number of possible reasons.

Often the estimated warranty liability will increase if the underlying product sales are also increasing, as was the case for Ford during this time. Alternatively, Ford’s actual claims experience might be declining. If the percent of sales estimate remained unchanged, this would cause the liability to potentially increase. This partially explains the increase, since only $12,000 million in claims were assumed to be paid, while the current estimated claims payable was $13,605 million at December 31, 2001. Lastly, Ford could be increasing its estimated warranty claims expense as a percent of current period sales.

b. The company experienced a hazardous materials spill at one of its

plants during the previous period. This spill has resulted in a number of lawsuits to which the company is a party. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has fined the company $390,000, which the company is contesting in court. Although the company does not admit fault, legal counsel believes that the fine payment is probable. In addition, an employee has sued the company. A $280,000 out-of-court settlement has been reached with the employee. The EPA fine and out-of-court settlement have been accrued. There is one other outstanding lawsuit related to this incident. Counsel does not believe that the lawsuit has merit. Other lawsuits and unknown liabilities may arise from this incident.

b. The quick ratio has been decreased between the two balance sheet dates. The major reason is a significant increase in inventory. Cash also declined, possibly to purchase the inventory. As a result, quick assets actually declined, while the current liabilities increased. While the quick ratio for December 31, 2006, is below 1.0, it is not yet at an alarming level. However, the trend suggests that the firm’s current asset (working capital) management should be watched closely.
