Metlock, Inc. sells products that carry a two year warranty. Anydefective product is replaced with a new item taken from inventory.Management believes that this is the most cost effective way todeal with any defects or customer complaints. Estimates of claimsare expected to be 2 out of every 100 units sold. The units sellfor $32 and cost $22. All sales are on account, and the 13% HST isnot included in the selling price.

Also, in the last year, Metlock began selling gift cards indenominations of $59 and $29. Cash and/or credit cards wereaccepted for payment. This practice was started when Metlock’s CFOlearned that not all of the gift cards are actually redeemed. HSTis recorded at the time of redemption.

Metlock has a calendar year end and uses a perpetual inventorysystem.

1.Sales of 4,080 units.
2.Return of 264 units not defective, returned to inventory.
