Current lawsuit undertaken against CAP, a customer had asked for 50,000 parts to be produced and delivered no later than July 15,2020. However, due to major downtime in July, CAP could not produce the parts as scheduled. In turn, the customer was late in delivering its vehicles to its distributors and had to pay a penalty equivalent of $600,000. This customer is now suing CAP for retribution for these costs. The letter goes on to state that retribution will be inevitable; however, it is believed that a settlement between $350,000 to $550,000 can be reached.

What is the recommendation on the accounting issue?
