    What is the estimated warranty expense and warranty cost?
    A company sells computers with a 6-month warranty. In January, the company sold 100,000 computers at $1,750 each, and 1,500 computers were turned in for repairs during the same month. The total repairs amounted to $185,000 costs from the computer parts inventory. It is estimated that 2% of all units sold will need repairs under warranty at an estimated cost of $200 per unit. What would be the journal enteries for the estimated warranty expense for January and warranty repair costs for January?

    Assuming you're using the accrual method:
    .02*100,000*200=400,000
    400,000-185,000=215,000

    Warranty expense dr 185,000
    Inventory-parts cr 185,000
    Warranty expense dr 215,000
    Estimated liability under warranties cr 215,000
