Dr lawsuit expense   $57,500

Cr other liabilities                         $57,500

Explanation:

Since it has been established that the lawsuit would be cost $57,500 based on past experience,it is required that a contingent liability be recognized in the books of accounts to reflect the possible obligation that may arise from the lawsuit by debiting lawsuit damages account with the expense and a corresponding liability account to record the likely obligation as shown below.

The lawsuit expense/damages would be debited since an increase in expense account is naturally a debit entry while other liability account is credited.

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
