Explanation of Solution

On Nov 30, Warranty expenses have been calculated as 10% of sales revenue.

Warranty expenses= 10% of2500 =$250

On Dec 12, the warranty liability written back = 6*24 =$144 (6 grinders at unit cost of $24 each)

On Dec 28, the amount of inventory issued under warranty= 17*24 =$408

Balance available under Warranty Liability Account

    Nov. 30Balance Created$250
    Dec 12Less Written Back(144)
    Dec 28Balance available106

Since, $106 is available under Warranty liability account and inventory worth $408 needs to be credited, so balance $302 408302 is charged off to Warranty Expenses Account.

For December sales, Warranty expenses= 10% of10,000 =$1,000.

Warranty expenses already charged on 29th December =$302.

So, warranty expenses to be charged off on December 31=$ 1000302 =$698

On Jan 21, the amount of inventory issued under warranty= 36*24 =$864

Balance available under Warranty Liability Account

    Nov. 30Balance Created$250
    Dec 12Less Written Back(144)
    Dec 28Balance available106
    Dec 28Less Written Back106
    Dec 31Balance Created698
    Jan 21Balance Available698

Since, $698 is available under Warranty liability account and inventory worth $864 needs to be credited, so balance $166 864698 is charged off to Warranty Expenses Account

On Jan 31, Total Warranty expenses= 10% of2000 =$200. Warranty Expenses already charged is $166. So, additional $ 34 200166 needs to be charged off

Thus, the journal entries for the transactions and adjustments have been passed.
