The following selected transactions relate to contingencies of Eastern Products Incorporated, which began operations in July 2024. Eastern's fiscal year ends on December 31. Financial statements are published in April 2025. 1. No customer accounts have been shown to be uncollectible as yet, but Eastern estimates that 2% of credit sales will eventually prove uncollectible. Sales were $302 million (all credit) for 2024. 2. Eastern offers a one-year warranty against manufacturer's defects for all its products. Industry experience indicates that warranty costs will approximate 2% of sales. Actual warranty expenditures were $3.7 million in 2024 and were recorded as warranty expense when incurred. 3. In December 2024, Eastern became aware of an engineering flaw in a product that poses a potential risk of injury. As a result, a product recall appears inevitable. This move would likely cost the company $1.7 million. 4. In November 2024, the State of Vermont filed suit against Eastern, asking civil penalties and injunctive relief for violations of clean water laws. Eastern reached a settlement with state authorities to pay $4.4 million in penalties on February 3, 2025. 5. Eastern is the plaintiff in a $40.2 million lawsuit filed against a customer for costs and lost profits from contracts rejected in 2024. The lawsuit is in final appeal and attorneys advise that it is virtually certain that Eastern will be awarded $30.2 million. Required: Prepare the appropriate journal entries that should be recorded as a result of each of these contingencies.
