During 20X1, Violet, Inc. and one of its suppliers became involved in a legal dispute.
By the end of 20X1, Violet's attorney's advised Violet that an unfavorable outcome was probable.
Further, Violet accountants estimated damages to be as low as $200,000 and as high as $300,000.
Violet's insurance policy limits the company's exposure to $50,000 in losses.
How much should Violet, Inc. report on its December 20X1 Balance Sheet as a contingent liability?
The answer to this question is NOT $200,000 NOR is it $250,000. How does insurance plays into this?
