OSE provides a one year warranty on all its electronic products.
The warranty is an assurance against manufacturing defects. In
December 2016, OSE sold $500,000 worth of electronic products. The
cost of the goods sold was $250,000 and OSE estimates the cost of
repairs under the warranty to be $5,000.
During the financial year ended December 2017, OSE incurred cost of
$3,000 to repair the products under warranty that were sold in
December 2016. It also incurred costs of $1,000 on repairs that did
not fall under the warranty agreement and charged its customers
$1,200 for these repairs.
OSE complies with FRS 18 Revenue and FRS 37 Provision, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
Prepare journal entries to record the sale of the electronic
products and the warranty for the financial years ended 31 December
