Woodmier Lawn Products introduced a new line of commercial sprinklers in 2020 that carry a one-year warranty against manufacturer’s defects.

Accrued liability and expense
Warranty expense (2% × $2,500,000)

Raya Company offers a 3-year warranty on its products. Raya estimated warranty costs to be 5% of sales. Due to a technological advance in production at the beginning of 2021, Raya now believes 3% of sales to be a better estimate of warranty costs.
