Explanation:

11 Sep 2017:

- As sell of $600 is made on cash with the cost of good sold is $370, we Dr Cash 600 and Dr Cost of good sold 370 to record increase in cash and in Cost of good sold; and Cr Sales 600 and Cr Inventory 370 to record increase in sales and decrease in Inventory delivered.

- Warranty expenses should be recorded at the time to ensure matching of cost and revenue. Warranty expenses is estimated at 9% of sales, so it will be 9% x 600 = $54. Expenses is recorded and liabilities is accrued.
