Problem 1 On March 1, 2019, a suit was filed against ABC Company for patent infringement.

However, ABC's legal counsel is of the opinion that P600,000 is a better estimate than any other amount in the range.

What amount should be accrued as liability on December 31, 2019 in connection with this law suit?
