After many years of success, Kaputnik Co. recorded net operating losses for the years year 13 through year 16, totaling $250 million, resulting in the recording of large deferred tax assets based on the assumption of a rapid return to profitability. However, attempts by management to revamp its outmoded business model have so far failed. A radical final attempt to save the company will be implemented in year 18. It will entail selling off the vast majority of Kaputnik's asset groups while maintaining a small but promising segment. The projected outlook for the near term is a modest net profit of $5 million over the next three years, beyond which it is impossible to determine if Kaputnik Co. will even still be in existence. The enacted tax rate has been 35% for the last several years and is expected to be 21% in year 17 and future years. No addition to the deferred tax asset balance will be recorded for year 17, during which Kaputnik recorded a $70 million net operating loss, nor has…

Now, though, while management feels it is probable the company will incur substantial costs, all discussions indicate that $55 million is an excessive amount. Based on prior recalls in the industry, management has provided the following probability distribution for the potential loss: Note: Use tables, Excel, or a financial calculator. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) Loss Amount Probability $ 45 million 20% $35 million 50% $ 25 million 30% An arrangement with a consortium of distributors requires that all recall costs be settled at the end of 2025.
