Presented below are three independent situations. Answer the question at the end of each situation. 1. During 2012, Maverick Inc. became involved in a tax dispute with the IRS. Maverick’s attorneys have indicated that they believe it is probable that Maverick will lose this dispute. They also believe that Maverick will have to pay the IRS between $800,000 and $1,400,000. After the 2012 financial statements were issued, the case was settled with the IRS for $1,200,000. What amount, if any, should be reported as a liability for this contingency as of December 31, 2012? 2. On October 1, 2012, Holmgren Chemical was identified as a potentially responsible party by the Environmental Protection Agency.
