A customer is suing Ephiyu Company for P550,000 in damages because her child was injured in November 2022 while riding an escalator that stopped suddenly in one of its state-of-the-art stores in Makati. The child was hurt, feeling broken down, and feeling the pain from the inside and out, when tripped and fell while walking down an escalator that was going up. Legal counsel feels that the child is partially at fault, and so deserves all the pain, but that it is probable that the lawsuit will be settled for between P250,000 and P550,000, with the following likely outcome: 30% to be settled at P250,000; 45% to be settled at P340.000 and 25% to be settled at P550,000. How much provision for damages shall be included in the liability section as of December 31, 2022?

The automobile had a fair market value of 20,000 before the accident and 8,000 immediately after the accident. Sam has taken 20,000 of depreciation on the car. The car is insured for the fair market value of any loss. Because of Sams history, he is afraid that if he submits a claim, his policy will be canceled.
