Problem 1: Voi Company provided the following facts regarding pending litigation on December 31, 2020: 1.

The entity is defending against a second lawsuit for which management believes it is virtually certain to lose in court. If it losses, management estimates damages will amount in between Php 3,000,000.00 to Php 5,000,000.00. 3. The entity is defending against a third lawsuit, but the relevant loss will occur in the future. The present values of the endpoints of the range are Php 1,500,000.00 and Php 2,500,000.00. The management believes the effects of the time value of money on these amounts are material but also believes the timing of these amounts are uncertain 4. The entity is defending against a fourth lawsuit and believes there is only a 25% chance it will lose in court. If the entity loses, management believes damages will likely be from Php 3,000,000.00 to Php 4,000,000.00, with each amount in that range equally likely to occur. Required: Determine if each of the above cases requires a provision or not, explain why.
