Situation 2 is a reasonable contingency. The costs are possible and there are rough estimates for cleanup but there are also rough estimates about reimbursements for property damage. This situation would be disclosed on the balance sheet.

1. Huprey can resonably estimate that a pending lawsuit will result in damages of $1,280,000, it is probable that Huprey will lose the case.
2. It is reasonably possible that Huprey will lose a pending lawsuit. The loss cannot be estimable.

The net realizable value of accounts receivable is $684,204
Explanation:
- To calculate subtract the doubtful-accounts allowance from the total accounts receivable. The result will be the net realizable value of accounts receivable.

- accounts receivable ± doubtful-accounts
- Therefore, the net realizable value of accounts receivable is $684,204
