Answer:

$400,000

Explanation:

In this case, Abbott Corp. has a wide range of possible losses, between $350,000 to $500,000. But since the most probable loss equals $400,000, then that amount should be recorded.

If no amount was more probable than others, then the company can decide to report the lowest estimate as long as all the other estimates have the same probability of happening. But in this specific case it doesn't apply.
