The provision for warranties at December 31, 2009 was calculated using the following assumptions: There was no balance carried forward from the prior year.

Page 7: CPAR - Auditing Problem Liabilities

Estimated cost of repairs – Products with minor defects P 1,000,000Estimated cost of repairs – Products with minor defects P 6,000,000Expected % of products sold during 2008 having no defects in 2010 80%Expected & of products sold during 2008 having minor defects in 2010 15 %Expected & of products sold during 2008 having Major defects in 2010 5%

Of the amount paid, P150,000 was for products with minor defects and P50,000 was for products with major defects, all of which related to amounts that had been expected to be paid in 2010/

2. In calculating its warranty provision for December 31, 2010, NUGGETS made the following adjustment to the assumptions used for the prior year:Estimated cost of repairs-products with minor defects no change Estimated cost if repairs – products with major defects P 5,000,000Expected % of products sold during 209 having no defects in 2011 85%Expected % of products sold during 2009 having minor defects in 2011 13%Expected % of products sold during 2009 having major defects in 2011 2%

The carrying amount of the conveyor belt at December 31, 2009 was P140,000. Its original cost was P200,000

4. NUGGETS was unsuccessful in its defense of the peanut allergy case and was ordered to pay P1,5000,000 to the plaintiffs. As at December 31, 2010, NUGGETS had paid P800,000

5. NUGGETS commenced litigation against one of its adviser for negligent advice given on the original installation of the conveyor belt referred to in (3) above, in October 2010, the court found in favor of NUGGETS. The hearing for damages had not been scheduled as at the date the financial statement for 2010 were authorized for issue. NUGGETS estimated that it would receive about P425,000.
