Frankfurter · Answer 1

False

Explanation:

Warranty accruals will be accounted for when incurred through the following entries,

Debit Warranty expense

Credit Warranty accrual

Using the history as a basis for accrual estimating the warranty expenses at 2% instead of 5% would result in an understatement of the two accounts stated above.

These are the expense and accrual accounts. As such the answer is false
