In the later part of year 2 the case is settled when west


Question - During Year 1, Smith Corporation filed suit against West Company because of damages that were allegedly inflicted on Smith. At the end of Year 1, officials of Smith believe it is reasonably possible that between $300,000 and $400,000 will be won but probable that the amount will actually be between $160,000 and $300,000. No number in either range stands out as more likely than any other number. Officials working for West have exactly the same opinion of what is going to happen. In the later part of Year 2, the case is settled when West pays Smith $280,000 in cash. What is the impact on income reported by these companies in Year 2?
