Another illustration An entity is a defendant in a patent infringement suit. The lawyers believe that there is a 60% chance that the court will not dismiss the case and the entity will incur an outflow of future economic benefits. If the court rules against the entity and in favor of the claimant, the lawyers believe that there is a 30% chance the entity will be required to pay damages of P4,000,000 and a 70% chance that the damages will be P2,000,000. A 10% risk adjustment factor to the probabilities of the expected cash flows is considered appropriate to reflect the uncertainties in the cash flow estimate.

Another illustration
An entity is a defendant in a patent infringement suit. The
lawyers believe that there is a 60% chance that the court
will not dismiss the case and the entity will incur an outflow
of future economic benefits.
If the court rules against the entity and in favor of the
claimant, the lawyers believe that there is a 30% chance the
entity will be required to pay damages of P4,000,000 and a
70% chance that the damages will be P2,000,000.
A 10% risk adjustment factor to the probabilities of the
expected cash flows is considered appropriate to reflect the
uncertainties in the cash flow estimate.
Measurement of provision
Weighted probabilities:
30% x 4,000,000 x 60%
70% x 2,000,000 x 60%
720,000
840,000
Expected cash outflow
Risk adjustment factor (10% x 1,560,000)
1,560,000
156,000
Estimated amount of provision
1,716,000
The amount of the provision shall be discounted if the effect
of the time value of money is material.
