On Jаnuаry 3, 2021, Hаrrisоn Cоrp. оwned a machine that had been purchased for $400,000. The accumulated depreciation was $240,000, the estimated residual value was $24,000, and the fair value was $640,000. On January 4, 2021, the machine was irreparably damaged by Jefferson Corp. and became worthless. In October 2021, a court awarded damages of $480,000 in favor of Harrison. As of December 31, 2021, Jefferson had appealed the decision, making the final outcome uncertain. However, Harrison's attorney believes it is likely that the appeal will be denied. What amount should Harrison Corp. recognize on its financial statements for this contingency as of December 31, 2021?
