Bourne Company provided the following selected transactions related to contingencies. The fiscal year ed on December 31, 2021 and financial statements are issued on March 31, 2022. Bourne is involved in a lawsuit resulting from a dispute with a customer over a 2021 transaction. On December 31, 2021, attorneys advised that it was probable that Bourne would lose P3,000,000 in an unfavorable outcome On February 15, 2022, judgment was rendered against Bourne in the amount f P4,000,000 plus interest P500,000. Bourne did not plan to appeal the judgment. Since August 2021, Bourne had been involved in labor dispute. Negotiations between the entity and the union have not produced a settlement. Since January 2021, strikes have been ongoing at these facilities. It is virtually certain that material costs will be incurred but the amount of resultant costs cannot be adequately predicted. Bourne is the defendant in a lawsuit filed in January 2022 in which the plaintiff seeks P5,000,000 as an adjustment to the purchase price related to the sale of Bourne's hardwood division in 2021. The lawsuit alleged that Bourne misrepresented the division's assets and liabilities. Legal counsel advised that it is reasonably possible that Bourne could lose P2,000,000 but that it is extremely unlikely it could lose the P5,000,000 asked for. On March 1, 2022, the provincial government is in the process of investigating the possibility of environmental violation by Bourne but has not proposed a penalty assessment. Management believed an assessment is reasonably possible and if an assessment is made, a settlement of un to P4,000,000 is probable. Required: Prepare journal entries that should be recorded as a resule of the contingencies.
