Explanation:

1.

Warranty expense 5% of dollar sales

= 5% × $15,000 = $750.

2.

The December 31, 2017, balance of the liability equals the expense because no repairs are provided in 2017. Therefore, the ending balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account is $750.

3.

The company should report no additional warranty expense in 2018 for this copier.

4.

The December 31, 2018, balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account equals the 2016 beginning balance minus the costs incurred in 2018to repair the copier:

Beginning 2016 balance$750

Less parts cost (124)

Ending 2018 balance$626
