Cohen Mann · Answer 1

Debit Estimated Warranty Liability $14,000; credit Merchandise Inventory $14,000.

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Estimated Warranty Liability A/c Dr $14,000

To Merchandise Inventory $14,000

(Being the customer warranties is settled)

Since we have to settle the customer warranties, so we debited the estimated warranty liability account and credited the merchandise inventory account

Hence, all other options are wrong except last one
