PROBLEM NO. 4 Estimated liabilities – warranty and premium

Dolores’ Music Emporium carries a wide variety of music promotion techniques – warranties and premiums
– to attract customers.

Musical instrument and sound equipment are sold in a one-year warranty for replacement of parts and labor.
The estimated warranty cost, based on past experience, is 2% of sales.

The premium is offered on the recorded and sheet music. Customers receive a coupon for each peso spent
on recorded music or sheet music. Customers may exchange 200 coupons and P20 for an AM/FM radio.
Dolores pays P34 for each radio and estimates that 60% of the coupons given to customers will be
redeemed.

Dolores’ total sales for 2010 were P57,600,000 – P43,200,000 from musical instrument and sound
reproduction equipment and P14,400,000 from recorded music and sheet music. Replacement parts and
labor for warranty work totaled P1,312,000 during 2010. A total of 52,000 AM/FM radio used in the
premium program were purchased during the year and there were 9,600,000 coupons redeemed in 2010.
