Recording and Reporting Warranties

During Year 1, Ward Company introduced a new product carrying a three-year warranty against defects, which has a separate purchase price. The company collected $52,000 and $91,000 for this separate warranty in Year 1 and Year 2, respectively. The company uses straight-line recognition of warranty revenue. For simplification, assume that sales occurred at the first of the year. Sales and actual warranty expenditures for the years ended December 31 Year 1 and Year 2 follow:

		Actual Warranty
	Sales	Expenditures
Year 1	$1,560,000	$23,400
