Chapter 20, Problem 20.7BE
Warranty expense
• LO20–4
In 2017, Quapau Products introduced a new line of hot water heaters that carry a one-year warranty against manufacturer’s defects. Based on industry experience, warranty costs were expected to approximate 5% of sales revenue. First-year sales of the heaters were $300,000. An evaluation of the company’s claims experience in late 2018 indicated that actual claims were less than expected—4% of sales rather than 5%. Assuming sales of the heaters in 2018 were $350,000 and warranty expenditures in 2018 totaled $12,000, what is the 2018 warranty expense?

Based on that experience, warranty costs were expected to approximate 3% of sales. Sales of the sprinklers in 2020 were $3,300,000. Accordingly, the following entries relating to the contingency for warranty costs were recorded during the first year of selling the product:

The entity estimated that 80% of the products will have no defects. 5% will have major defects and 15% will have minor defects. If all products were to have major defects the total cost would be 2,000,000. But, if all products were to have minor defects the total repairs would only cost 500,000.
