What are the entries when the cost is actually incurred? Dr. Warranty Liability Cr. Cash/Bank? If the warranty cost exceeds the accrual the extra amount goes towards the expense line?
You are correct that when the actual warranty costs are incurred you would debit the Warranty Liability account and credit the Cash account (or credit the Supplies account if the company used supplies to fix the product that was returned for warranty repairs). If the actual warranty costs end up exceeding the estimated warranty costs, you can debit Warranty Expense and credit Warranty Liability as an adjustment. Conversely, if you find that over time the estimated warranty liability has far exceeded the actual warranty costs, you can reduce the Warranty Liability account by debiting it and then crediting an account like "other income"
just wanted to express my gratitude for your work! this channel has helped me in my studies in college and now in starting my job as an auditor. amazing explanation of every concept for free, thank you so much!
Hi, Is discounting CF for future liabilities required? I am assuming if warranty was only one year you would not calculate PV of it, also when the differences between PV and non discounted figures aren't material, you could just use "raw" numbers?
