In preparing Ayayai Corporation's December 31, 2023 financial statements under ASPE, the vice-president, finance, is trying to determine the proper accounting treatment for each of the following situations. 1. As a result of uninsured accidents during the year, personal injury suits for $325,000 and $60,000 have been filed against Ayayai. It is the judgement of Ayayai's lawyers that an unfavourable outcome is unlikely in the $60,000 case but that an unfavourable verdict for approximately $225,000 is likely in the $325,000 case. 2. In early 2023, Ayayai received notice from the provincial environment ministry that a site Ayayai had been using to dispose waste was considered toxic, and that Ayayai would be held responsible for its cleanup under provincial legislation. The vicepresident, finance, discussed the situation over coffee with the vice-president, engineering. The engineer stated that it woul take up to three years to determine the best way to remediate the site and that the cost would be considerable, perhaps as much as $480,000 to $1.92 million or more. The engineering vice-president advocates recognizing at least the minimum estimate of $480,000 in the current year's financial statements. The financial vice-president advocates just disclosing the situation, and the inability to estimate the cost, in a note to the financial statements. 3. Ayayai has a foreign division that has a net carrying amount of $5,605,000 and an estimated fair value of $8.8 million. The foreign government has told Ayayai that it intends to expropriate the assets and businesses of all foreign investors. Based on settlements that other firms have received from this same country, Ayayai expects to receive 40% of the fair value of its properties as compensation. 4. Ayayai's chemical products division consists of five plants and is uninsurable because of the special risk of injury to employee and losses due to fire and explosion. Consequently, Sahoto must self-insure for these risks. The year 2023 is considered one of the safest in the division's history because there were no losses due to injury or casualty. Having suffered an average of three casualties a year during the rest of the past decade (ranging from $60,000 to $700,000 ), management is certain that next year Ayayai will not be so fortunate
