Question:
On 30 April 20X2, Neuman Limited sells a product to a customer for $ 600,000. The product carries a one- year assurance warranty. Neuman management estimates that the probable cost of fulfilling the warranty will be $ 50,000. Between 1 May and 31 December 20X2, the actual warranty cost was $ 20,000. On 31 December 20X2, management decides that the remaining warranty provision ( i. e., the additional warranty costs still to be incurred) will be no more than $ 13,000. Between 1 January and 30 April 20X3, the additional cost was $ 11,000.
Required:
1. Prepare the entries concerning the sale and the warranty for 30 April 20X2 through 30 April 20X3.
