ABC is a defendant in a breach of patent lawsuit. 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. ABC's lawyers believe there is a probability of very slightly over 50% that ABC 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?
