Starfish Corporation, in preparation of its December 31, 2020, financial statements, is attempting to determine the proper accounting treatment for each of the following situations. 1. As a result of uninsured accidents during the year, personal injury suits for $261,000 and $697,000 have been filed against the company. It is the judgment of Starfish‘s legal counsel that an unfavorable outcome is unlikely in the $261,000 case but that an unfavorable verdict approximating $410,000 will probably result in the $697,000 case. 2. Starfish‘s deep sea exploration division consisting of operations in the Marina Trench is uninsurable because of the special risk of injury to employees and losses due to high pressure. The year 2020 is considered one of tinesafest (luckiest) in the division’s history because no loss due to injury or casualty was suffered. Having suffered an average of two casualties a year during the rest of the past decade (ranging from $25,000 to $1,000,000), management is certain that next year the company will probably not be so fortunate. 3. Starfish Corporation owns a subsidiary in a foreign country that has a book value of $21,600,000 and an estimated fair value of $30,890,000. The foreign government has communicated to Starfish its intention to expropriate the assets and business of all foreign investors. On the basis of settlements other firms have received from this same country, Starfish expects to receive 60% of the fair value of its properties as final settlement.

1. What is the amount of legal expense recorded with respect to uninsured accidents?
2. Does Situation 1 warrant a footnote to the financial statements? 1=Yes, 0=No
(assume materiality)
Situation 2
3. What is amount of legal expense recorded with respect to special risk of injury to employees?
4. Does Situation 2 warrant a footnote to the financial statements? 1=Yes, 0=No
(assume materiality)
Situation 3
5. What is the amount of loss to record with respect to the expropriation of the foreign sub's assets?
6. Does Situation 3 warrant a footnote to the financial statements? 1=Yes, 0=No
(assume materiality)

8) Our company did a stock dividend. Dave says there is no effect on our comprehensive stockholders' equity at all. Barbara disagrees and says it does have an effect on equity but isn't sure exactly what. She just knows there is an impact. Verna has absolutely no clue on this one. So she just cannot decide who's right and is completely lost.

Sabre is considering opening a new online storefront to support the launch of their 'Pyramid' tablet. The severs required to support the store will cost $622,000, are expected to have a five year life, and have no salvage value; depreciation is straight-line to zero. There are no expected NWC requirements.

Sales are projected at 14,000 units per year, price per unit will be $255.00, variable cost per unit will be $186.00, and fixed costs will be $200,000 per year. The required return is 11 percent and the relevant tax rate is 34 percent.

Based on your experience, you think the unit sales price and quantity, variable cost, and fixed cost projections given here are probably accurate to within +/- 9 percent. What is the worst case NPV? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
