International Product Cycle is a model that patterns international manufacturing & trade of product . It has 4 stages :
- Introduction - Innovated Invention in a developed country. Limited production & consumption, no competition
- Growth - Spread to other developed countries, foreign production & competition starts, consumption & coverage rise.
- Maturity - Spread to developing countries, stagnant growth in developed countries & fast growth in less developed countries
- Decline - Spread to less developed countries, technology outdated, various substitutes emerge & no. of sellers decline, demand still exist in less developed countries.

Since the event is possible but not likely, it should be disclosed in the footnotes of the financial statements.
b. Freeman received notice that it was being sued. Freeman considers this lawsuit to be frivolous.
Since this is a frivolous lawsuit, there is no need to disclose it.
c. Freeman is currently the defendant in a lawsuit. Freeman believes it is likely that it will lose the lawsuit and estimates the damages to be paid will be $75,000.
- Record an expense and a liability based on estimated amounts.
Since the negative outcome is probable and you were able to quantify your losses, you must record the expense for $75,000 and include the amount as a current liability.
If some contributions to your pension or annuity plan were prior combined in gross income, you can omit the part of the distributions from income. You must know the tax-free part when the payments start. The tax-free part normally stays the same each year, even if the amount of the payment changes. Nevertheless, the whole amount of your pension or annuity that you can omit from your income is typically defined by your total cost.
