Question:

Moocher Company, a publicly traded company that has a December 31 year- end, manufactures and sells novelty toys. Recently, one of the toys that Moocher produced and sold was found to cause serious digestive problems for dogs that ate the toy. Accordingly, Moocher was sued by a group of consumers in May of the current year. While Moocher didn’t believe that it would lose the suit in a court ruling, it did not want the bad publicity.
