Answer:   Higgins should report this litigation as a contingent liability.

Explanation: A liability that is contingent upon an event, that is, dependent on a future event that may or may not happen is called contingent liability. Potential law suits, pending investigations are some of the examples of contingent liability.

A contingent liability will only be recorded if there is likely probability that the event on which such liability depends will occur and the amount of liability could be reasonably estimated.

Katen [24]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

The $26000 per year that's given in the question is the value of Lindsey's earnings if she chose to work at the local mall. This is the gain Lindsey foregoes in each of the three years in order to learn, and represents her opportunity cost or alternate costs.
