Required:

Record any amounts as a result of each of these contingencies.

2. Environmental Printing is the plaintiff in an $9 million lawsuit filed against a competitor in the high-end color-printer market. Environmental Printing expects to win the case and be awarded between $6.5 and $9 million.

3. Environmental Printing recently became aware of a design flaw in one of its ink-jet printers. A product recall appears probable. Such an action would likely cost the company between $500,000 and $900,000.
