Refer to the information for Jupiter Corp. in BE13.25. 

(a) Prepare entries for the warranty that recognize the sale as a multiple deliverable with the warranty as a separate service that Jupiter bundled with the selling price of the product. Ignore any cost of goods sold entry. Sales in 2020 occurred evenly throughout the year. Warranty agreements similar to this are available separately, are estimated to have a standalone value of $600,000, and are earned over the warranty period as follows: 2020, 25%; 2021, 50%; and 2022, 25%. 

(b) Also prepare the entry(ies) to record the $68,000 expenditure for servicing the warranty during 2020, and the adjusting entry required at year end, if any, under the revenue approach used for service-type warranties.
