The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize on our vehicles, parts, and accessories varies with changes in return rights and marketing incentives we offer to our customers and their customers. Estimates of marketing incentives are based on expected retail and fleet sales volumes, mix of products to be sold, and incentive programs to be offered. Customer acceptance of products and programs, as well as other market conditions, will impact these estimates. As a result of changes in our estimate of marketing incentives, we recorded a decrease related to revenue recognized in prior periods of $481 million and $885 million in the first quarter of 2019 and 2020, respectively. The change in estimate for the first quarter of 2020 includes additional marketing incentives offered to customers in connection with market conditions affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

We sell separately-priced service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance coverages beyond our base warranty agreements to vehicle owners (“extended service contracts”). We had a balance of $4.2 billion and $4.1 billion of unearned revenue associated with outstanding contracts reported in Other liabilities and deferred revenue at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively. We expect to recognize approximately $1 billion of the unearned amount in the remainder of 2020, $1.1 billion in 2021, and $2 billion thereafter. We recognized $305 million and $330 million of unearned amounts as revenue during the first quarter of 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Amounts paid to dealers to obtain these contracts are deferred and recorded as Other assets. We had a balance of $270 million and $280 million in deferred costs as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively. We recognized $19 million and $20 million of amortization during the first quarter of 2019 and 2020, respectively.
