Chapter 7, Problem 7.10E
Exercise 7.10
LO 5
Other accrued liabilities-warranties Prist Co. had not provided a warranty on its products, but competitive pressures forced management to add this feature at the beginning of 2016. Based on an analysis of customer complaints made over the past two years, the cost of a warranty program was estimated at 0.3% of sales. During 2016, sales totaled $6,900,000. Actual costs of servicing products under warranty totaled $19,400.
Required:
- Use the horizontal model (or a T-account of the Estimated Warranty Liability) to show the effect of having the warranty program during 2016.
- What type of accrual adjustment should be made at the end of 2016?
- Describe how the amount of the accrual adjustment could be determined.

Problem 15
On December 31, 2017, Entity Z acquired Lumangyao Corporation’s P1,000,000 notes for P927,880. The market interest rate at that time was 12%. The stated interest rate was 10%, payable annually. The notes mature in five years and classified as financial asset at amortized cost. At December 31, 2019, the note is considered credit impaired. Entity Z determined that it was probable that the issuer would pay back only P600,000 of the principal at maturity. At December 31, 2020, because of the improvement in the credit rating of Lumangyao, Entity Z reassessed the collectibility of the note and now expects to collect P900,000 from Lumangyao at maturity date.
The required loss allowance at Dec. 31, 2019 is
