Part 1: Accounting for Provision and Contingent Liability
ChemX Inc, a chemical company, found out one week before its fiscal year end 12/31/X1 that its branch leaked significant amount of mercury (above safety level) at a plant site in Country A that requires a chemical company to buy and install specialized equipment (costing $500,000) to prevent mercury leakage.
