On Nov. 5, 2016, a Fudge Corp. truck was in an accident with an auto driven by Paul. Fudge received notice on January 15, 2017 of a lawsuit for P 700,000 damages for personal injuries suffered by Paul . The entity's counsel believed it is probable that Paul will be awarded an estimated amount in the range between P 200,000 and P 450,000 and no amount is a better estimate of potential liability than any other amount because each point in the range is as likely as any other. The 2016 financial statements were issued on March 1, 2017. What amount of loss should be accrued on Dec. 31, 2016?
On November 5, 2008, a Breakthrough Company truck was in an accident with an auto driven by McAllen.

The accounting year, ends on December 31, and the 2008 financial statements were issued on March 31, 2009. What amount of provision should Breakthrough accrue at December 31, 2008?

In 2015, plaintiff was injured by medical malpractice and received a jury verdict of $500,000 ($200,000 for medical care costs, $200,000 for lost income, and $100,000 for pain and suffering). All the medical care costs had been paid by plaintiff's health insurance company, but the submission of such evidence was barred at trial. In 1989, this jurisdiction, in response to a perceived crisis in medical malpractice insurance, abolished the collateral source rule. In post-trial motions in the instant case, the Court should:
Reduce the judgment to $300,000.
Reduce the judgment to $250,000.
Reduce the judgment to $50,000
Not reduce the judgment
