b. a loss contingency of $5,400,000 and disclose an additional contingency of up to $3,600,000.

Explanation:

Swiftly corporation is most likely to lose the law suit so it is better they be prepared for the outcome.

According to the lawyer there could be a judgment costing Swifty anywhere from $1830000 to $8960000, and most probably cost is $5410000.

First of all Swiftly should set aside the most probable amount as that is what swiftly will most likely pay that is $5,410,000~$5,400,000

And set aside extra difference of the most probable and the minimum in case of worst save scenario. That is $5,410,000 - $1,830,000= $3,580,000~$3,600,000
