c.As a contingent liability

A financial guarantee is a contingent liability. This means it is a liability which may or may not arise and is dependent/contingent upon the happening of a certain event.

a is incorrect since asset is something which adds value and is used to earn income.

b is incorrect since it is not a sure liability. If the customer makes the payment the liability will not arise.

d is incorrect since this is not a cost or expense for the company.

e is incorrect since if the customer does not honour the commitment, this will become a liability for the company.
