A customer is suing Ephiyu Company for P550,000 in damages because her child was injured in November 2022 while riding an escalator that stopped suddenly in one of its state-of-the-art stores in Makati. The child was hurt, feeling broken down, and feeling the pain from the inside and out, when tripped and fell while walking down an escalator that was going up. Legal counsel feels that the child is partially at fault, and so deserves all the pain, but that it is probable that the lawsuit will be settled for between P250,000 and P550,000, with the following likely outcome: 30% to be settled at P250,000; 45% to be settled at P340.000 and 25% to be settled at P550,000. How much provision for damages shall be included in the liability section as of December 31, 2022?
On Nov. 5, 2016, a Fudge Corp. truck was in an accident with an auto driven by Paul. Fudge received notice on January 15, 2017 of a lawsuit for P 700,000 damages for personal injuries suffered by Paul . The entity's counsel believed it is probable that Paul will be awarded an estimated amount in the range between P 200,000 and P 450,000 and no amount is a better estimate of potential liability than any other amount because each point in the range is as likely as any other. The 2016 financial statements were issued on March 1, 2017. What amount of loss should be accrued on Dec. 31, 2016?
A truck owned and operated by Abbott Company was involved in an accident with an auto driven by L. Costello on January 12, 2018. Abbott received notice on April 24, 2018, of a lawsuit for P800,000 damages for a personal injury suffered by L. Costello. Abbott’s counsel believes it is reasonably probable that L. Costello will be successful against the company for an estimated amount in the range between P200,000 and P500,000. No amount within this range is a better estimate of potential damages than any other amount. It is expected that the lawsuit will be adjudicated in the latter part of 2019. What amount of loss should Abbott accrue at December 31, 2018?

Two key issues must be resolved: The amount of sales Carlson would have made if the hurricane had not struck; and Whether Carlson is entitled to any compensation for excess sales from increased business activity after the storm More than $8 billion in federal disaster relief and insurance money came into the county, resulting in increased sales at department stores and numerous other businesses.

- Contingencies Fallon Company, a toy manufacturer that also operates several retail outlets, is preparing its December 31, 2019, financial statements. It has identified the following legal situations that may qualify as contingencies: A customer is suing the company for 800,000 in damages because her child was injured in November 2019 while riding an escalator that stopped suddenly in one of its stores. The child was hurt when he tripped and fell while walking down an escalator that was going up. Legal counsel feels that the child is partially at fault, but that it is probable that the lawsuit will be settled for between SO,000 and 100,000, with 80,000 being the most likely amount. Fallon has discovered that a skateboard it began manufacturing and selling in 2019 has defective bearings, sometimes causing a wheel to fall off. Fallon has issued a recall notice in newspapers and magazines in which it offers to replace the bearings. It estimates a cost of 200,000 for these repairs. No lawsuits have been filed for injury claims, although the company feels that there is a reasonable possibility that claims may total as high as 2 million. Fallon has an incinerator behind one of its retail outlets which is used to burn cardboard boxes received in shipments of inventory from suppliers. The state environmental protection agency filed suit against the company in August 2019 for air pollution. Fallon expects to stop using the incinerator and begin recycling. However, its lawyers believe that it is probable that a fine of between 40,000 and 60,000 will be levied against the company, although they cannot predict the exact amount. In early 2019, Fallon signed a contract with a computer vendor to install state of the art cash registers in all of its retail outlets. Because of the vendors inability to acquire sufficient cash registers, the vendor canceled the contract. Fallon has filed a breach of contract suit against the vendor, claiming 300,000 in damages. The companys lawyers expect that it will settle the suit out of court for 150,000. Required: Next Level For each situation, prepare the journal entry (if any) on December 31, 2019, to record the information for Fallon, and explain your reasoning. If no journal entry is recorded, explain how the information would be disclosed in Fallons 2019 annual report. How would your answers change if Fallon used IFRS?arrow_forwardPending Damage Suit Disclosure On December 15, 2019, a truck driver for Cork Transfer Company negligently rounded a curve that was also a bridge covering several local merchant shops. The truck jumped the guardrail and fell 30 feet onto one of the shops, causing highly flammable chemicals in the truck to explode. Although by February 22, 2020 (the date on which Corks financial statements for 2019 are issued), no claims had been filed against Cork, the companys legal counsel believes it is probable that some will be filed in the future. However, counsel does not believe it can reasonably estimate the amount of these potential claims. Required: Explain the accounting treatment, if any, Cork should give the contingent loss occurring from the wreck in the December 31, 2019, financial statements.arrow_forwardDuring the year to 31 December 2019, a customer started legal proceedings against TCI Food company, claiming that one of the food products that it manufactures had caused several members of his family to become seriously ill.

- Walmart is suing Elon Musk’s electric vehicle and clean energy company after Tesla solar panels atop seven of the retailer’s stores allegedly caught fire, according a court filing. The Walmart suit alleges breach of contract, gross negligence and failure to live up to industry standards. Walmart is asking Tesla to remove solar panels from more than 240 Walmart locations where they have been installed, and to pay damages related to all the fires Walmart says that Tesla caused.
