Question

Vaughn Corp. manufactures a wide range of equipment. The company’s biggest seller is the Whatchamacallit, which sells for $4,610 each. Starting in 2020 Whatchamacallit now carries with it a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects. In addition to this warranty, customers can purchase an optional extended warranty for $1,640 extra that extends the Whatchamacallit’s warranty an additional 2 years. From experience with similar products, Vaughn Corp. has determined that each Whatchamacallit sold will average $900 in replacement parts (ignore labour costs for repairs). In 2020, the company sells 620 Whatchamacallits; 300 of these customers decide to purchase the optional extended warranty. Assuming the revenue is earned evenly over the two-year contract. Also in 2020, the company incurred $165,000 in total repair costs (replacement parts out of inventory).

Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the Whatchamacallits and the extended warranties (sales would take place throughout the year; prepare only one entry at December 31, 2020 for the total sales). Ignore any cost of goods sold entry. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually.

Prepare the 2020 journal entries related to the product warranties using the expense approach. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

Assuming that the extended warranty period begins January 1, 2022 for all customers who purchased the extended warranty, prepare the journal entries at December 31, 2022 for the extended warranty. Assume that $217,000 in warranty costs were incurred in 2022. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually.
