U manufactures refrigerators and freezers and sells them with a one-year warranty. It applies the requirements of IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets, to its financial accounts. U has made a provision for future warranty claims each year. U did not keep accurate records of previous warranty claims so when IAS 37 became effective, it estimated future warranty claims based on an estimated 10 percent of sales turnover. It also started keeping accurate records of warranty claims. U has decided to change its method of calculating the provision for warranty claims to the weighted average of the last three years' actual claims paid. A warranty claim provision of $900 000, calculated on the old basis, has already been entered in the accounts for the year ended 30 September 2004.

 

Prepare the accounting entries required in U's year-end accounts to reflect the above change.
