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?

Woodmier Lawn Products introduced a new line of commercial sprinklers in 2020 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 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:
