Duong-Burnett Products introduced a new line of commercial sprinklers in 2023 that carry a one-year warranty against manufacturer’s defects. Because this was the first product for which the company offered a warranty, trade publications were consulted to determine the experience of others in the industry. Based on that experience, warranty costs were expected to approximate 2% of sales. Sales of the sprinklers in 2023 were $3,400,000. Accordingly, the following entries relating to the contingency for warranty costs were recorded during the first year of selling the product:
| General Journal | Debit | Credit |
|---|---|---|
| Accrued liability and expense | ||
| Warranty expense (2% × $3,400,000) | 68,000 | |
| Warranty liability | 68,000 | |
| Actual expenditures (summary entry) | ||
| Warranty liability | 31,280 | |
| Cash (or salaries payable, parts and supplies, etc.) | 31,280 |
In late 2024, the company's claims experience was evaluated and it was determined that claims were far more than expected—3% of sales rather than 2%.
- Assuming sales of the sprinklers in 2024 were $4,500,000 and warranty expenditures in 2024 totaled $115,000, prepare any
journal entries related to the warranty. - Assuming sales of the sprinklers were discontinued after 2023, prepare any journal entries in 2024 related to the warranty.
