Past experience shows that the average warranty costs are $4 each or $2,400 for these toasters. In Year 1, Dynamo pays $500 cash for warranty costs on the toasters sold that year.

    Cr Sales revenue 36,000

Dr Warranty expense 2,400

    Cr Warranty liability 2,400

Adjusting entry for actual warranty expense
