Answer:

B) a loss contingency of $5,400,000 and disclose an additional contingency of up to $3,600,000.

Explanation:

The company should make the loss occur at this accoutning cycle as the current information states it will be a reasonable amount.

It should however make an additional disclosure but not a journal entry for the difference which isn't posted as it may occur and people willing to invest or lend the firm should be aware of these potential loss figures.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

150000

Explanation:

The question says that Harry received a fair market value = 450000 dollars

Meanwhile he transferred 650000 dollars of assets

Fair value of assets = 650000 - 200000 = 450000

Harry's adjusted basis = 350000

Therefore the share received will be:

350,000 - 200,000

= 150,000 dollars.

Harry's basis in the stock received from the corporation is $150,000.

Thank you!
