2. A relatively small number of machines have been shipped on consignment. These transactions have been recorded as ordinary sales and billed as such. On March 31 of each year, machines billed and in the hands of consignees amounted to:
2013 $7,150 2014 none 2015 6,149
Sales price was determined by adding 25% to cost. Assume that the consigned machines are sold the following year.
3. On March 30, 2014, two machines were shipped to a customer on a C.O.D. basis. The sale was not entered until April 5, 2014, when cash was received for $6,710. The machines were not included in the inventory at March 31, 2014. (Title passed on March 30, 2014.)
4. All machines are sold subject to a 5-year warranty. It is estimated that the expense ultimately to be incurred in connection with the warranty will amount to 1?2 of 1% of sales. The company has charged an expense account for warranty costs incurred.

2013 $825 $825 2014 880 $572 1,452 2015 385 1,980 $1,870 4,2356. The bank deducts 6% on all contracts financed. Of this amount, 1?2% is placed in a reserve to the credit of Roberts Company that is refunded to Roberts as finance contracts are paid in full. (Thus, Roberts should have a receivable for these payments and should record revenue when the net balance is remitted each year.) The reserve established by the bank has not been reflected in the books of Roberts. The excess of credits over debits (net increase) to the reserve account with Roberts on the books of the bank for each fiscal year were as follows.
2013 $3,300 2014 4,290 2015 5,610 $13,200
