Answer:
D) As a disclosure only. No liability is reported
Explanation:
US GAAP requires that probable contingent liabilities (like lawsuits) are disclosed in the footnotes of the financial statements. If it is probable that the liability will exist, in this case that Hillsborough will lose the case, then they must record the contingent liability at its most reasonable amount. If the amount cannot be estimated, then they must record it at its lowest amount. The key word is "probable", since it must be likely that the event occurs in order for it to be recorded in the footnotes.
Answer:
Milton Friedman was an economist from the Chicago School who was known mainly for two ideas: the monetarist view of inflation, and his support for free market policies.
Explanation:
As previously explained, Friedman was also a promoter of free market policies, and Reagan was a president that supported free market. Friedman supported lowering taxes to corporations, the wealthy, and the middle class, reducing regulations to businesses, and signing free trade agreements or reducing tariffs.
These were all policies that Reagan supported. He managed to cut taxes and regulations. He was less succesful in promoting free trade, but his successors: George Bush Father, Bill Clinton, and George Bush Son, also supported many of the views that Milton Friedman had.

Answer:
$171,500
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the year 2021 is shown below:
For accumulated depreciation
= ($604,000 - $64,000) × 3 years ÷ 9 years
= $180,000
Now the depreciation expense for the year 2021 is
= ($604,000 - $180,000 - $81,000) ÷ ( 5 years - 3 years)
= $171,500
Hence, the depreciation expense for the year 2021 is $171,500
