Cherry Wood Corporation sells blenders under a three-year warranty contract that requires it to replace defective parts and provide necessary repair and labour. During 2019, the corporation sold 1,000 blenders for cash at a unit price of $800 each. Similar three-year warranty agreements are available separately and are estimated to have a stand-alone value of $120. On the basis of past experience, the per-unit, three-year warranty costs are estimated to be $20 for parts and $30 for labour. For simplicity, assume that all sales occurred on December 31, 2019 rather than evenly throughout the year and any warranty revenue (if applicable) is earned evenly over the three-year period. In 2020, the actual warranty costs to Cherry Wood are $5,000 for parts and $10,000 for labour.
