Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, the journal entries are of the given data are as follow:-
Journal Entry
1. Loss A/c Dr. $1,300,000
To Contingent liability A/c $1,300,000
(Being the likelihood of a payment occurring is probable is recorded)
For recording this we debited the loss and credited the contingent liability as it increased the loss and liability
2. Loss A/c Dr. $1,100,000
To Contingent liability A/c $1,100,000
(Being the likelihood of a payment occurring is probable is recorded)
For recording this we debited the loss and credited the contingent liability as it increased the loss and liability
3. The likelihood of payment occurring is reasonably possible instead of probable, so we don’t have a need to record this entry. But we describe this in financial statements in the foot note
No Journal Entry Needed
4. The likelihood of payment occurring is remote so disclosure is not needed.
No Journal Entry Needed
