Answer:

$300

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimated Warrant Liability account is obviously a liability account, so when it decreases, it should be debited. Since the repair cost is $300, the account should be debited $300.

The complete journal records should be:

  • Dr Estimated Warrant Liability account 300
  • Cr Cash account 300 (or Accounts Payable account 300) for repair work
