Warranty payable=Debit=9000

Cash=Credit=9000

Explanation:

Given

Sales = $230,000 in one year

Warranty expense = 4% of sales

Cash paid to settle warranty obligations = $9,000

The journal entries required to recognize the settlement of the warranty obligations=?

Warranty payable=Debit=9000

Cash=Credit=9000

Warranty is a written statement or promise given by the manufacturer or seller of a product to the customer to repair or replace the product in case of any fault or damage within specific period of time.
