    How to approach this question

    Assurance Warranty is not a separate performance obligation (accrue expense). Service Warranty IS a separate PO (defer revenue and recognize over coverage period). Product is delivered now.

    Full Answer

    B.$100✓ Correct
    1. **Product Sale:** $100. Recognized at point of sale (Jan 1). Assurance warranty is a liability accrual, not deferred revenue.<br/>2. **Extended Warranty:** $20. Separate Performance Obligation. Recognized over the coverage period (Years 2-3).<br/>Total Revenue Jan 1 = $100.

    Common mistakes

    Recognizing service warranty immediately; treating assurance warranty as a separate PO.
