Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

a).

Journal Entry

On 2017

Accounts receivable A/c($1,500 × $1,200) Dr. $1,800,000

To sales A/c $1,800,000

(Being sale of computers is recorded)

For recording this we debited the account receivable as it increased the assets and at the same time it also increased the revenue so the sales is credited

On 2017

Warranty expense A/c {($60+$40) × $1,200} Dr. $120,000

To warrant liability A/c $120,000

(Being the warranty expense is recorded)

For recording this we debited the warranty expense as it increased the expenses and at the same time it also increase the liability so the warranty liability is credited

On 2018

Warranty liability A/c Dr. $40,000

To Cash A/c $24,000

To Inventory A/c $16,000

(Being the warranty liability is recorded)

For recording this we debited the warranty liability as it reduced the liability and credited the cash and inventory as it reduced the assets

b). Balance under current liabilities in 2017 balance sheet is

= $120,000 × 1 ÷ 2

= $60,000

As it is for two years so we take for one year only
