Required:
Record any amounts as a result of each of these contingencies.
1.
2. Compact Electronics is the plaintiff in a $5 million lawsuit filed against a supplier. The suit is in final appeal, and attorneys advise it is virtually certain that Compact Electronics will win and be awarded $3.5 million.
3. In November 2018, Compact Electronics became aware of a design flaw in one of its digital camera models. A product recall appears probable and would likely cost the company $600,000
