purposes by $$3$ million. The installment recelvable account at year$-$end $2024$ had a balance of $$4$ million $($representing portions

of $2023$ and $2024$ installment sales$),$ expected to be collected equally in $2025$ and $2026.$

d$.$ For tax purposes, warranty expense is deducted when costs are paid. The balance of the warranty llability was $$1$ million at the

end of $2023.$ Warranty expense of $$3$ million is recognized in the income statement in $2024.$ $$2$ million of cost is pald in $2024,$

adjusting entries$).$

company's new pald vacation program. Future compensation will be deductible on the tax return when actually pald during the

next two years $($ $$5$ million in $2025$; $$3$ million in $2026).$

f$.$ During $2023,$ accounting income included an estimated loss of $$4$ million from having accrued a loss contingency. The loss is
