2. Calculation to determine the liability for refundable deposits to be reported on the December 31, 2021, balance sheet.

Using this formula

Ending liability for refundable deposits = Liability for refundable deposits, January 1, 2021 + Deposits received during 2021 - Deposits returned during 2018 - Deposits forfeited during 2021

Let plug in the formula

Ending liability for refundable deposits= $595,000 + $890,000 - $827,000 - $56,750

Ending liability for refundable deposits= $601,250

Therefore the liability for refundable deposits to be reported on the December 31, 2021, balance sheet is $601,250
