Answer: The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated and it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred.
Explanation:
A loss contingent is an expense that is based on a future event for instance, if the company loses a law suit and would have to pay settlement costs.
Loss contingents are only permitted to be accrued if the probability that they will happen is likely and even at that, the amount of loss needs to be capable of being reasonably estimated. This way, a proper estimate can be made that will represent the situation adequately.

G is government spending
X is the exports
M is the imports.

The change in inventory(difference between the closing inventory and opening inventory) is part of the calculation of investment spending.
