Each change occurs during 2021 before any adjusting entries or closing entries were prepared. Assume the tax rate for each company is 25% in all years. Any tax effects should be adjusted through the deferred tax liability account. a. Fleming Home Products introduced a new line of commercial awnings in 2020 that carry a one-year warranty against manufacturer's defects. Based on industry experience, warranty costs were expected to approximate 2% of sales. Sales of the awnings in 2020 were $3,600,000. Accordingly, warranty expense and a warranty liability of $72,000 were recorded in 2020. In late 2021, the company's claims experience was evaluated, and it was determined that claims were far fewer than expected: 1% of sales rather than 2%. Sales of the awnings in 2021 were $4,100,000, and warranty expenditures in 2021 totaled $93,275. b. On December 30, 2017, Rival Industries acquired its ofce building at a cost of $1,020,000.
