Explanation / Answer

Answer:1)

There was an increase in deferred income possibly due to an increase in people scheduling flights into the following fiscal year instead of the current one. Yes, transactions of this type would be handled very similarly under U.S. GAAP.

Answer:2)

Yes. Under U.S. GAAP, the most likely outcome within range should be accrued. When no one outcome is more likely than the others, the minimum amount in the range of outcomes should be accrued. However, under IFRS, the best estimate for a single obligation may be the most likely outcome, although other possible outcomes should still be considered.
