Check my work 3 HolmesWatson (HW) is considering what the effect would be of reporting its liabilities under IFRS rather than U.S. GAAP. The following facts apply: Book Print a. HW is defending against a lawsuit and believes it is virtually certain to lose in court. If it loses the lawsuit, management estimates it will need to pay a range of damages that falls between $5,900,000 and $10,900,000, with each amount in that range equally likely. b. HW is defending against another lawsuit that is identical to item (a), but the relevant losses will only occur far into the future. The present values of the endpoints of the range are $3,900,000 and $8,900,000, with the timing of cash flow somewhat uncertain. HW considers these effects of the time value of money to be material. C. HW is defending against another lawsuit for which management believes HW has a slightly better than 50/50 chance of losing in court. If it loses the lawsuit, management estimates HW will need to pay a range of damages that falls between $3,900,000 and $9,900,000, with each amount in that range equally likely. d. HW has $10,900,000 of short-term debt that it intends to refinance on a long-term basis. Soon after the balance sheet date, but before issuance of the financial statements, HW obtained the financing necessary to refinance the debt. rences Required: 1.
