Prepare the year$-$end entries for any amounts that should be recorded as a result of each of the above contingencies.

Note: If no entry is required for a transaction$/$event$,$ select $"$No journal entry required" in the first account field. Enter your

answers in whole dollars. The following selected transactions relate to contingencies of Classical Tool Makers, Incorporated, which began operations in July $2024.$ Classical$$s fiscal year ends on December $31.$ Financial statements are issued in April $2025.$

$1.$ Classical's products carry a one$-$year warranty against manufacturer$$s defects. Based on previous experience, warranty costs are expected to approximate $3\%$ of sales. Sales were $$3\mathrm{.}4$ million $($all credit$)$ for $2024.$ Actual warranty expenditures were $$42,200$ and were recorded as warranty expense when incurred.

$2.$ Although no customer accounts have been shown to be uncollectible, Classical estimates that $2\%$ of credit sales will eventually prove uncollectible.

$3.$ In December $2024,$ the state of Tennessee filed suit against Classical, seeking penalties for violations of clean air laws. On January $23,2025,$ Classical reached a settlement with state authorities to pay $$2\mathrm{.}9$ million in penalties.

$4.$ Classical is the plaintiff in a $$5\mathrm{.}4$ million lawsuit filed against a supplier. The suit is in final appeal and attorneys advise that it is virtually certain that Classical will win the case and be awarded $$3\mathrm{.}9$ million, an amount that is material to Classical.

$5.$ In November $2024,$ Classical became aware of a design flaw in an industrial saw that poses a potential electrical hazard. A product recall appears unavoidable. Such an action would likely cost the company $$640,000.$

$6.$ Classical offered $$25$ cash rebates on a new model of jigsaw. Customers must mail in a proof$-$of$-$purchase seal from the package plus the cash register receipt to receive the rebate. Experience suggests that $60\%$ of the rebates will be claimed. Eleven thousand and four hundred of the jigsaws were sold in $2024.$ Total rebates to customers in $2024$ were $$119,000$ and were recorded as promotional expense when paid.
