At December 31 of Year 1, Pitt determined that Hoffman would probably be successful against Pitt for an estimated amount of $1,280,000. Appropriately, an $1,280,000 loss was accrued by a charge to the income of Pitt for the year ended December 31 of Year 1. On December 15 of Year 2, Pitt and Hoffman agreed to a settlement providing for a cash payment of $800,000 by Pitt to Hoffman and the transfer of Pitt’s copyright to Hoffman.

This implies a decrease in liabilities and an outflow of assets totaling $992,000, which does not impact the pretax income for Year 2 because the financial impact was recognized in Year 1.### Note:The data might require specific accounting entries, which can generally include debiting the liability account and crediting the cash and asset accounts involved in the transaction.
