COMMENTS

  • The estimated cost of the annual inventory of parts and accessories is to be accrued in equal monthly amounts during the year for which the service is to be performed. If the estimated cost is revised during the year, the monthly accrual amount should be adjusted accordingly.
  • Differences between the estimated amount and the actual cost should be adjusted concurrent with payment, if necessary, or at year end, whichever occurs first.
  • Subsidiary records should support this account.
