Problem 1: Make a journal entries for these transactions:

1. On December 20, 20X6, the existing motor, pulley and lifting system was sold for $2,500. The original cost of these components was $35,000. They had an expected life of 10 years and an estimated salvage value of $2,000. They had a net book value of $10,250. The cash received was recorded as a gain on sale of $2,500. Installation of the replacement components was not finalized, and the components were not ready for use before year end. Thus, no amortization or capital cost allowance (CCA) are claimed for 20X6 on the replacement component.
2. Sterling's insurance company sent a bill for additional insurance premiums of $350. This bill covers from the December 15 delivery date until the annual policy expires on March 31, 20X7. This bill was paid and the amount expensed. The cost of the policy used should be added to the cost of the asset under construction.
3. Many of the manufacturers whose products Sterling carries provide a warranty. Sterling also provides an additional warranty on several lines/items. Based on experience over the years, the warranty costs average 0.25% of total sales. The provision is accrued quarterly but has not been recorded yet for the fourth quarter of 20X6; fourth-quarter sales were $3,280,000.
4. The accounting staff determined that expenses for the fourth quarter included $6,905 of costs directly attributable to warranty work, bringing the total warranty costs paid by Sterling during 20X6 to $27,311. These costs for the fourth quarter have been charged to the wages, salaries, and benefits account. Warranty costs for the first three quarters are properly recorded.
