Dear Chris, How are you? I hope you are doing well, In the example mentioned above its given the following, Warranty provision. 90 in credit side. And in the additional information it's mentioned that, the year-end provision for warranty claims has been estimated at $75. And warranty costs are charged to administrative expense. I note that it decreases administrative expenses by $15 but I don't know why can you explain it in simple way using the T-account please.

Hi, I'm very well, thanks. I'd not worry about the T-accounts as that might make it more complicated in this instance. In this situation we have a provision of 90 that needs to be reduced to 75, a reduction of 15. To reduce the provision we debit the provision and the credit is taken through profit or loss in administrative expenses. Thanks
