    January 31

    Warranty Expense $22,400 (debit)

    Warranty Provision $22,400 (credit)

    February

    Warranty Provision $235 (debit)

    Materials $140 (credit)

    Salaries Payable $95 (credit)

    Explanation:

    There is no option on the customer to take the warranty or not. Therefore this type of warranty is known as an Assurance type warranty and is accounted for in terms of IAS 37.

    January 31

    Warranty Expense $22,400 (debit)

    Warranty Provision $22,400 (credit)

    Warranty = $560,000 * 4% = $22,400

    February

    Warranty Provision $235 (debit)

    Materials $140 (credit)

    Salaries Payable $95 (credit)

    When Warranty Claim is subsequently received
