Answer:
Decorative Concrete
1. This contingent liability should be disclosed in a note only.
2. Decorative Concrete should not report any loss in its income statement, yet.
3. Decorative Concrete should not report any liability in its balance sheet, yet.
4. No entry should be recorded in the journal.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated loss = $1.1 and $4 million
Loss is probable but the loss cannot be reasonably estimated
b) Decorative Concrete cannot reasonably estimate the loss that may arise from the contingent liability. Therefore, it should only disclose the future event in a note to the financial statements. Accounting rules specify that Decorative Concrete should record this event as a contingent liability in its accounts when it is probable that the future event will occur and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. At that time, a specific amount of loss will be recorded (debit) and a specific liability established (credit) in advance of the settlement. In this Decorative's case, only one condition is met.

But before that the following calculations to be done
Balance for equity shares is
= Total shareholder equity - dividend paid to preference shareholders - redemption of preference shares
= 8,250,000 - (20,000 × 100 × 12% ×3) - (20,000 × 110)
= 8,250,000 - 720,000 - 2,200,000
= 5,330,000
And, the number of shares is 200,000
So, the book value of the ordinary share is
= 5,330,000 ÷ 200,000
= 26.65
