Problem 1

Cummings Inc. manufactures and sells air conditioning units with a 12 month warranty under which
defective air conditioning units will be replaced free of any charges.

The company started out in 2019 expecting 10% of the sales to be returned. However, due to the
innovations and improvements made to the products during the year, the estimated percentage of
returns increased to 15% on July 1. It is assumed that no units sold during a given quarter are returned in
that quarter. Each unit is stamped with a date at time of sale so that the warranty may be properly
administered. The following table of percentages indicates the pattern of sales return during the 12-
month period of warranty, starting with the quarter following the sale of air conditioning units.

QUARTER FOLLOWING QUARTER OF SALE % OF TOTAL RETURNS EXPECTED


FIRST QUARTER 40%
SECOND QUARTER 30%
THIRD QUARTER 20%
FOURTH QUARTER 10%
Gross sales of air conditioning units in 2019 are as follows:

QUARTER SALES IN PESO


FIRST P16,200,000
SECOND 14,850,000
THIRD 12,000,000
FOURTH 8,100,000
The company also pays for the freight costs of the return and the delivery of the defective units
returned and the new replacement units, respectively. The freight cost were approximately 10% of the
sales price of the air conditioning units returned. The manufacturing cost of the air conditioning units
are roughly 805 of the sale price. The returned units can be salvaged at an estimated value of 15% of
their sales price. Returned units on hand at December 31, 2014, were thus valued in the inventory at
15% of their original sales price.
