A) Sale of 150 dvd players

Particulars Debit Credit
Cash account (150*225) 33750
Sales revenue 33750

B ) Warranty expense adjusting entry

Particulars Debit Credit
Warranty expense a/c (33750*3%) 1012.5
Warranty liability a/c 1012.5

C) Replacement entry out of total warranty cost of 10 dvd players ( 10*175 = 1750) , 1012.5 will be adjusted against warranty liability a/c and the remaining will be recorded in current year as expense.

Particulars Debit Credit
warranty liability a/c 1012.5
Warranty expense a/c 737.5
Inventory a/c (10*175) 1750

D) Total warranty expense recorded is 3% of sales

= 33750*3% = 1012.5

E) Since no claim arises in 2014 , Warranty liab will be 1012.5

F) Excess of actual warranty over estimated warranty liab is recorded as expense

= 1750 - 1012.5 = 737.5

G) Warranty liab at the end of year will be zero.

Company's estimated warranty % is not sufficent because it is less than actual warranty expense. Hence it should be imcreased to 5 or 6%.
