Accounting

image In recent years, Pina Colada Inc. has reported steadily increasing income. The company reported income of $26,000 in 2020,$32,500 in 2021, and $39,000 in 2022. Several market analysts have recommended that investors buy Pina Colada shares because they expect the steady growth in income to continue. Pina Colada is approaching the end of its 2023 fiscal year, and it looks to be a good year once again. However, it has not yet recorded warranty expense. Based on prior experience, this year's warranty expense should be around $6,500, but some members of top management have approached the controller to suggest that a larger, more conservative warranty expense should be recorded this year. Income before warranty expense is $55,900. Specifically, by recording an $10,400 warranty accrual this year, Pina Colada could report an income increase for this year and still be in a position to cover its warranty costs in future years. (b) Your answer is partially correct. What would be the effect of the proposed accounting in 2023? In 2024
