- Pitchfork Company is being sued by a competitor in a lawsuit alleging patent infringement. Pitchfork's lawyers state that it is possible Pitchfork will lose the suit and be found liable for a judgment costing anywhere from $1,800,000 to $9,000,000. However, the lawyers state that no one estimate is more likely. As a result of the above information, Pitchforks should report: a contingent liability in the amount of $5,400,000, representing the average amount within the range of damages, on its Balance Sheet and disclose an additional contingency of up to $3,600,000 in the notes to the Balance Sheet. a contingent liability in the amount of $1,800,000 on its Balance Sheet and disclose an additional contingency of up to $7,200,000 in the notes to the Balance Sheet. a contingent liability in the amount of $5,400,000 on its Balance Sheet, but not disclose any additional contingency.

If the court rules in favor of the claimant, the lawyers believe that there is a 60 percent chance that the entity will be required to pay damages of P2 million (them amount sought by the claimant) and a 40 per cent chance that the entity will be required to pay damages of P1 million (the amount that was recently awarded by the same judge in a similar case). Other amounts of damages are unlikely. The court is expected to rule the following year (in late December 2023). There is no indication that the claimant will settle out of court. SME A's lawyers believe there is a probability of very slightly over 50% that SME A will successfully defend the case. A 7 percent risk adjustment factor to the cash flows is considered appropriate to reflect the uncertainties in the cash flow estimates. An appropriate discount rate is 10 percent per year.What amount of provision must be recorded from the lawsuit as of December 31, 2022?ABC is a defendant in a breach of patent lawsuit.
