Answer: The future event is probable and the amount owed can be reasonably estimated.

Explanation:

A Contingent Liability is an obligation that the business may possibly have to incur due to past events that the company engaged in.

The obligation might come about in future based on the outcome of other events, most of which the business usually have no control over.

An example of this is a law suit.

A Contigent liability should only be recorded in the books of accounting if and only if the future event is probable and the amount owed can be reasonably estimated.

If not then it is recommended to wait until the obligation might be incurred.

An increase in the assets by $200,000 and a similar increase in liability by $200,000

Explanation:

The accounting equation is the foundation for the double enter system of account balancing. In this system, the amount of debits are entered on one side as the corresponding credit is entered on the other side. Then the total credits are added and compared to the sum of the debit. When the credit equals the debit, the accounts balance. The accounting equation can be expressed as;

A=L+E

where;

A=assets

L=liabilities

E=owner's equity

Lets enter the transaction as shown;

aalyn [17]
The huge industrial trusts developed in industries such as steel and oil because there was a lot of competition to make the most profit and to be the best factory. Oil was a huge cooperation because it fueled the trains. Smaller bothersome rival companies would join bigger ones to create a monopoly. Standard oil owned by Rockefeller was a vast power and the word trust came to be generally used to describe any large scale business combination. Steel became a large industry for the fact that it was a strong metal that built the trains and tall sky scrappers. Also steel was used to build the transcontinental rail roads The Bessemer process came about which was a method of making cheap steel. It made the economy a more cut throat environment of dog eat dog and became ruthless. The economy was about power and money and was very greedy. Immigrant workers were employed with very low wages and worked laboriously many hours a day. Their effect on the economy was to create large <span>monopolies, their effects were tremendous.</span>
