During 2020, the Thomas Company began selling a new type of machine that carries a two-year assurance-type warranty against all defects. Based on past industry and company experience, estimated warranty costs should total $1,000 per machine sold. During 2020, sales and actual warranty expenditures were $5,000,000 (100 machines) and $44,000, respectively. Thomas uses the GAAP approach of accruing warranty expense (and the related liability) in the year of the sale.
