Answer from: jasmin5285

b. disclosed only

Explanation:

A potential liability that may occur in future e.g Pending lawsuits, product warranties etc. It depend on the outcome of a specific future event. As it is not reasonably measured and presently uncertain, so it is not recorded in the financial statements but it is disclosed in the note to the account to report the matter to stakeholders of the company for their decision making.

The loss is probable and reasonably estimable.

A) recorded and disclosed

This is a high probability contingent liability.

Explanation:

US GAAP requires that contingent liabilities must be either included in the income statement and balance sheet, only included in the footnotes of the financial statements or not included at all.

US GAAP classifies liabilities as:

high probabilitymedium probabilitylow probability

High probability contingent liabilities, e.g. warranties, that are almost certain to happen and can be measured properly must be included in the income statement and reported as a liability in the balance sheet.

Medium probability contingent liabilities are those that either are likely to happen (very probable) or can be measured properly. This type of contingent liabilities must not be included in the income statement nor the balance sheet, but must be included in the footnotes.

Low probability contingent liabilities are those that are possible to happen, but not probable, therefore, they should not be included in the footnotes of the financial statements.
