Woodmier Lawn Products introduced a new line of commercial sprinklers in 2020 that carry a one-year warranty against manufacturer's defects. Because this was the first product for which the company offered a warranty, trade publications were consulted to determine the experience of others in the industry. Based on that experience, warranty costs were expected to approximate 2% of sales. Sales of the sprinklers in 2020 were $4.2 million. Accordingly, the following entries relating to the contingency for warranty costs were recorded during the first year of selling the product:
General Journal | Debit | Credit |
Accrued liability and expense | ||
Warranty expense (2% $4,200,000) | 84,000 | |
Warranty liability | 84,000 | |
Actual expenditures (summary entry) | ||
Warranty liability | 36,000 | |
Cash | 36,000 | |
In late 2021, the company's claims experience was evaluated and it was determined that claims were far more than expected3% of sales rather than 2%. Required: 1. Assuming sales of the sprinklers in 2021 were $5.3 million and warranty expenditures in 2021 totaled $105,000, prepare any journal entries related to the warranty. 2. Assuming sales of the sprinklers were discontinued after 2020, prepare any journal entry(s) in 2021 related to the warranty.
