In 2001, Kieso Corporation acquired a silver mine in Benguet. Because the mine is
located deep in the Benguet mountains, Kieso was able to acquire the mine for the low
price of P50,000. In 2002, Kieso constructed a road to the silver mine costing P5,000,000.
Improvements to the mine made in 2002 cost P750,000. Because of the improvements to
the mine and the surrounding land, it is estimated that the mine can be sold for P600,000
when the mining activities are complete.
During 2003, five buildings were constructed near the mine site to house the mine workers
and their families. The total cost of the five buildings was P1,500,000. Estimated residual
value is P250,000. In 2001, geologists estimated 4 million tons of silver ore could be
removed from the mine for refining. During 2004, the first year of operations, only 5,000
tons of silver ore were removed from the mine. However, in 2005, workers mined 1 million
tons of silver. During that same year, geologists discovered that the mine contained 3
million tons of silver ore in addition to the original 4 million tons. Improvements of

P275,000 were made to the mine early in 2005 to facilitate the removal of the additional
silver. Early in 2005, an additional building was constructed at a cost of P225,000 to
house the additional workers needed to excavate the added silver. This building is not
expected to have any residual value.
In 2006, 2.5 million tons of silver were mined and costs of P1,100,000 were incurred at the
beginning of the year for improvements to the mine.

Lady Choi Corporation manufactures television components and sells them with 6-month
warranty under which defective components will be replaced without charge. On
December 31, 2005, Estimated Liability for Product Warranty had a balance of P765,000.
By June 30, 2006, this balance had been reduced to P120,375 by debits for estimated net
cost of components returned that had been sold in 2005.
The company started out in 2006 expecting 8% of the peso volume of sales to be returned.
However, due to the introduction of new models during the year, this estimated percentage
of returns was increased to 10% on May 1. It is assumed that no components sold during
a given month are returned in that month. Each component is stamped with a date at time
of sale so that the warranty may be properly administered. The following table of
percentages indicates the like pattern of sales return during the 6-month period of the
warranty, starting with the month following the sale of components.

The companys warranty also covers the payment of freight cost on defective components
returned and on the new components sent out as replacements. This freight cost runs
approximately 10% of the sales price of the components returned. The manufacturing cost
of the components is roughly 80% of the sales price, and the salvage value of returned
components averages 15% of their sales price. Returned components on hand at
December 31, 2005, were thus valued in inventory at 15% of their original sales price.
