Garison Music Emporium carries a wide variety of musical instruments, sound reproduction equipment, recorded music, and sheet music. Garison uses two sales promotion techniques-warranties and premiums-to attract customers.

Musical instruments and sound equipment are sold with a one-year warranty for replacement of parts and labor. The estimated warranty cost, based on past experience, is 2% of sales.

The premium is offered on the recorded and sheet music. Customers receive a coupon for each dollar spent on recorded music or sheet music. Customers may exchange 300 coupons and $20 for a digital MP3 player. Garison pays $34 for each player and estimates that 60% of the coupons given to customers will be redeemed.

Garison's total sales for 2014 were $7,266,000-$5,946,000 from musical instruments and sound reproduction equipment and $1,320,000 from recorded music and sheet music. Replacement parts and labor for warranty work totaled $166,700 during 2014. A total of 6,870 players used in the premium program were purchased during the year, and there were 1,324,000 coupons redeemed in 2014.

The accrual method is used by Garison to account for the warranty and premium costs for financial reporting purposes. The balances in the accounts related to warranties and premiums on January 1, 2014, were as shown below.

Inventory of Premiums		$ 37,720
