1. Toyo company owns a car dealership that it uses for servicing cars under warranty.

In preparing the financial statements, the entity needs to ascertain the provision for
warranty that it would be required to provide at the end of the year.

The entity’s experience with warranty claims is:


60% of all cars sold in a year have zero defect, 25% of all cars sold in a year have normal
defect, and 15% of all cars sold in a year have significant defect.

The cost of rectifying normal defect in a car is P10,000. The cost of rectifying a
significant defect in a car is P30,000.

The entity sold 500 cars during the year.

What is the expected value of the warranty provision for the current year?
a. 3,500,000
b. 1,750,000
c. 1,000,000
d. 4,000,000

Normal defect (500 x 25% x 10,000) 1,250,000


Significant defect (500 x 15% x 30,000) 2,250,000
3,500,000

2. Chato Company sells electrical goods covered by a one-year warranty for any defects.

Of the sales of P70,000,000 for the year, the entity estimated that 3% will have major
defect, 5% will have minor defect and 92% will have no defect.

The cost of repairs would be P5,000,000 if all the products sold had major defect and
P3,000,000 if all had minor defect.

What amount should be recognized as a warranty provision?


a. 8,000,000
