ILLUSTRATION 1.

EXPECTED VALUE METHOD

An entity sells goods with a warranty under which customers are covered for the cost of repairs of any
manufacturing defects that become apparent within 6 months after purchase.

If minor defects are detected in all product sold, repair costs would be about P1,000,000.

If major defects are detected in all product sold, repair costs of P5,000,000 would result.

The entity’s past experience and future expectations indicate that 75% of the goods sold will have no
defects, 20% will have minor defects and 5% will have major defects.

The expected value or cost of repairs is measured as follows:

75% sales P0
20% sales (20% x 1,000,000) 200,000
5% sales (5% x 5,000,000) 250,000_
Total expected value or cost of repairs P450,000

Journal Entry:

Warranty expense 450,000


Warranty liability 450,000
