    Solution:

    a) At the end of 2020, facility is 20% full so the 300,000 would be regarded as expenses

    Therefore, in the balance sheet, at the end of 2020, 300,000 would be shown as liability.

    b) In the financial statements for 2012, 300,000 would be shown as expense and 300,000 would be shown as liability.
