Answer to Question 2

For financial statement purposes, businesses should recognize warranty expense at the time of sale. The matching principle requires that revenues and expenses that go together should be on the same income statement. Even though a company does not know whether a product or service will require warranty work, the cost to honor a warranty must be estimated in advance. Usually, the amount of the estimate of future warranty work is based on past experience or a set percentage of sales. At the time of the sale, or at the end of the month during the adjustment process, a business will record warranty expense and match the expense with an estimated warranty liability account.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
