At December 31, 2007, Niki Company reviewed the following situations to consider their impact on its 2007
Question:
1. In December 2007, Niki became aware of a safety hazard related to one of its products. Estimates of the probable costs resulting from the hazard include highest, most likely, and lowest amounts.
2. During 2007, Niki received a note for goods sold to a customer. The note was sold, with recourse, to a bank. The customer filed for bankruptcy in December 2007, before the note’s 2008 due date.
3. In 2003, Niki moved and assigned the remaining 10 years of its old lease to Pro Company, an unrelated third party. Pro agreed to make all payments due on the assigned lease, but Niki has prime responsibility for the lease to the lessor. At December 31, 2007, it is reasonably possible that Pro will be unable to make all payments due on the assigned lease.
Required
